Winco KWP-100 Wide Chef's Knife 10"

Great price. Works great.

I'm impressed with this knife. It has some features that make it an ideal entry-level knife, with only a few drawbacks. This knife is a big improvement over the Winco Stal 8 inch cook knife. Unlike its smaller counterpart, this knife rocks much smoother due to its relaxed geometry.

If you are looking for a low-cost entry level knife, this might be a good fit. I also suggest looking at the Winco Acero 10" chef knife, as it has some more advanced features for only a few dollars more.

Functionality: 5/5
+the knife rocks very smoothly.

+very comfortable handle, a little strange to get used to at first.

+wide blade makes it easier to control.

+lightweight, only 211g.

-the tip of the knife is a bit too thick for detailed work.

-balance is not great, front heavy.

-not a full tang knife.

Fit and Finnish: 4/5
+mirror finish, no scratches.

+handle perfect out of box, no cracks, scratches, or significant imperfections.

-not well sharpened out of box. I recommend reprofiling it before use.

-The edge on the top of the knife is not smoothed. Not a significant issue though since due to the wider blade it is not likely to scrape up against your fingers.

Value: 5/5
+good quality carbon steel

+Very low price at about 8$, though for only 4 dollars more you could get the Winco Acero 10" chef knife which has more advanced features.

High carbon steel knives should not go in the dishwasher. Always hand-wash, and dry with a towel after using.
