Yaxell Mon 8" Chef's Knife

smooth and balanced as well as sharp. not to mention the price.

This knife is simple and practical design, it has thinner heel and blade, light weight, excellent VG10 performance, Fairly good knife at this price.

This the third Yazell Mon knife I have bought. The first one was supposed to be a gift. However, I liked it so much I kept it and ordered another one. This new one is just as great. Razor sharp out of the box, perfectly balanced with a weight that juuuust right. The workmanship, fit and finish is flawless. It handles like a dream and, after a month of use, the cutting edge is still as sharp as when it came out of the box.

At the price point C&M sells the Yaxell Mon, the series is superior to the competition. In my opinion this knife challenges other knives I have that were more than twice the price. I recommend it.

Good price, very sharp out of the box. Edge retention remains to be seen

I have both 8" and 10" Yaxell Mon.....and both are wonderful knives. I think I like the 10" slightly better, but that is just personal preference for larger knives. The balance is very good. All my Yaxell and Enso knives are top quality and the best knives I've ever used.
