I had been eyeing these knives for a few years and decided finally to pull the plug. 40+ year-old steak knives from a first marriage were not cutting it anymore! The knives are beautiful with the color combination being fairly close to my Desert Dawn knives. I like the styling of the AG47 steak knives better. They are very chunky in ones hand and not delicate in the least. Very substantial and they slice through a thick filet like butter.
I picked up this knife to upgrade from a shorter knife. I'm really enjoying this knife so far, the handle is very comfortable, it's light and durable, and the curved edges on the spine are great for chopping. It holds its edge pretty well in the month I've used it. Would highly recommend this company for any knife needs.
I’ve bought many TownCutler knives for myself and as gifts including complete sets. Not only are they great knives they are works of art that are comfortable to use, and kitchen tools you want to display.
Bought this knife about a a year and a half ago and it has been my primary daily knife in a professional kitchen since then. Out of the box, it was quite sharp. For me, it held an acceptable edge for about 2 weeks, and has proven to follow roughly that timeline in terms of how often it needs sharpening. Everyone has their own standards and habits around that, but I was hoping for a little bit more edge retention.
However, I found the geometry and fit/finish of the knife very good. It can tackle just about any task you throw at it short of slamming through bone. I made the transition to this knife because I wanted something in a stainless steel that could put up with corrosive ingredients better than the blue super gyuto I was using before. It has performed better in retention in that arena.
Funnily enough, when I was sold the knife in a brick and mortar shop, it was billed as AEB-L steel. Now that I check here, I see it's listed as Nitro V. Don't know if that's a manufacturer change or if the rep I spoke with was just mistaken. Either way, the biggest gripe I have with this knife is the edge retention, which is by no means bad, but could be a little better. For a home cook, this would knock it out of the park. For a professional, this is a good option.
Good knife.
These are easily be the best steak knives that I have ever seen and used. The weight, style and everything about them is absolutely perfect. They are a very high quality and extremely well made product. I couldn't be happier and the customer service has been amazing as well. I highly recommend them and there will be additional knives from Town Cutler in my future.
I’ve purchased over 50 of these for myself and friends in the industry. They were used by members of Team USA in competition at the Culinary Olympics. I grind an edge onto all of my T&C offsets, and it’s incredibly versatile and useful.
What can I say. I love this knife. Light as a pencil. Lazer sharp out the box. My go to workhorse
These steak knives arrived in a nice wood box that will be perfect for storing them. The handles look great, feel good in hand, and cut perfectly. I’ll be adding another set or two.
The customer service with this company is second to none. I didn't realize they were closed on Fridays and I was hoping to pick up my knife before the long Memorial Day weekend. I reached out on social media and they arranged someone to meet me at the shop to pick up my knife! This knife was the talk of the BBQ. Beautiful craftsman's ship and cant believe how sharpe and light it is. I will be adding more to my collections soon.
Very cool poster. Always looking for something different to hang in my kitchen. This did the trick.
These beautiful and classy covers perfectly complement the the awesome craftsmanship and quality of the Tahoe Bliss line of kitchen knives.
The micarta smells like buttfor when you get it. It rests off eventually, but you're stuck with the stink until then. Even with the prescribes handwashing and immediate drying, the fibers in the micarta are fraying at the cut and rounded edges. The edges on the handle are too severely angular in some spots. With wood, you can just smooth these spots and hit it with some board butter, but with the composite, I think it would mean wet-sanding, and then probably way more fraying to contour it any further. The blade of the spatula is still unparalleled as far as I am aware. Functionally, I love it. Aesthetically, the real wood was superior, and with the overall finish, I think the current handle scales decrease perceived value (hopefully that's just me- I still think you're nice!) while the piece is still retailing for OMG I just looked and it has increased by $8, that's hilarious. Just... know what you're buying is all.
Both the knife and the saya Fucking race man, are amazing. Great detail absolutely stunning. Great to use for cooking for any level chef my absolute favorite knife
The Saya protects your knives perfectly if they are stored in a drawer. These knives are high quality and deserve to be stored properly. Not to mention customer service from this company is stellar! On a scale of 1-10 they are an 11. ❤️❤️
Well, what can I say, other than, ANOTHER great piece added to my collection!!! This is my 4th TC piece, and it isn't gonna be my last. Each knife they create is simply stunning. Plus they're super sharp, and make me enjoy my time in the kitchen. I Love TC!!!
I purchased an AG47 Utility & when it arrived it had 2 slight chips on the edge. I informed customer service and they sent me a brand new knife, 2 days shipping straight to my door. The new knife is in perfect condition and I am overall extremely pleased and impressed with their care and attention to their customers. 10 out of 5 stars, honestly.
Don’t sleep on these knives. These are so beautiful and have changed my cooking. I would always buy pre chopped veggies and now I want to cut all my veggies myself and find meals to make in order to use my knives. They are beautiful and work so well.
The craftsmanship and quality is amazing. These knives and accessories are awesome!!!!!!
