Handles great!

Out of the box, this knife was easy to handle. I've had other similar knives, but this was by far the most balanced. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful lightweight all purpose knife

This knife keeps it's edge and stays wonderfully sharp. It handles like a dream, the lightweight design makes it ideal for a long day in the kitchen when a heavier knife would be tiresome. This is an amazing all purpose knife and a must have for any serious cook

Awesome knife!

Got this knife earlier today and have cooked one meal so far. It is great. Having used the knife set that has been in the house since I've been alive, it was refreshing to use an actual sharp knife that is well balanced and fits my hand.

This thing is amazing: Please read

I recommend this night to starters or professionals. This is because knife is very lightweight and handles easily. This is real Damascus not etched. The sharpening job is impeccable and the handle gives allows you to get a firm grip. I have already stress tested the knife and it has done great. The price is fair because you will not have to buy another chef's knife for 7 to 8 years. And it has a nice slick modern design with no bolster. VERY SHARP OUT OF THE BOX. USE WITH CARE.

New knife

The knife seems very well Built but the handle seems a little bit slippery. We'll see if that settles down for a better grip as a start using it more often.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.
