Winco KFP-50 One Piece Utility Knife 5"

An excellent utility knife! A utility knife should ideally have a blade that is rigid and sturdy to enable processing tougher foods, yet thin enough to easily core an apple. This winco acero utility knife provides this balance, and at a good price. Keep in mind, a utility knife is not critical in the kitchen, and you can easily do without it. It is worth the added convenience though.

Functionality: 5/5
+Comfortable handle, feels right at home in your hand

Fit and Finnish: 4/5
+great worksmanship

+Handle fit was excellent. No polishing/sanding was needed.

+Sharp out of box

-Profiled to about 20 degrees on each side, which is not ideal, but usable.

-Top of blade had rough edges that needed smoothing with sandpaper.

Value: 5/5
+good quality forged steel

+good price. Since a utility knife is not used as often in most kitchens, I would not recommend spending more on a pricy high-end brand.

Like the other winco Acero knives, this one should not go in the dishwasher. Always hand-wash, and dry with a towel after using.

These knives are extremely sharp out of the packaging. The handles are nicely shaped, and the knife has a good balance. These can handle any general use in the kitchen without emptying your wallet. I would recommend these to friends.
