Love the knife - every kitchen should have at least one - but please remember not to put it in the dishwasher - I hadn't read the instructions saying not to and mine has now lost some of its coating unfortunately. Would definitely buy again. I also have the small vegetable knife which is excellent. Highly recommended

A very impressive product. My wife and I use it for carving meat where it cuts through so easily to enable us to produce even slices of desired thickness. We also use it to prepare some vegetables for cooking, particularly Swede, which can be hard and difficult both to peel and dice; but the Magic Knife works brilliantly.

I have had the 8"magic knife for six months and it is the only knife I need to use.I sharpen it around once a month with the prescribed sharpener and the blade stays as sharp as ever. A wonderful tool, highly recommended.

I absolutely love this knife! As a keen cook I use it all the time. It is so versatile and paired with the sharpener it always stays its sharpest. I now only use this knife and refuse to use friends and family members knives as it’s not enjoyable to cook. At university my knife is now used by my flat as it’s simply the best! I don’t know what I’d do without it

Three hours after I purchased my magic knife in Harrogate, at the fair, I had a nasty fall and broke my arm in two places. It goes without saying that this was my right arm leaving me at a loss as to how to manage in the kitchen. My magic knife has been an absolute godsend as it enables me to cut everything, including raw meats, to a satisfactory standard. Thank you. I shall be buying another larger version in the future

This really is a magic knife. I have arthritis in my wrists and was unable to slice hard vegetables. this is no longer a problem.

I had been on the lookout for a kitchen knife which would make life easier for me after I had dislocated my thumb and with the start of arthritis. I was able to use my other hand for cutting up veg as the knife took the heavy cutting out of the chore for me, allowing me continue being independent and of not having to buy pre-chopped veg at the store (I'm not ready for that stage yet!)

I purchased a magic knife for my sister last Christmas. On seeing it in use, I decided I really needed one as well. I treated myself to the 8" one first and then bought the 3" one at the next show in Ripley. They are both well worth the money - easy to use, extremely sharp and the flexible blade makes skinning fish a dream. For safety though,I leave the cardboard cover on the blade when the knife is in my drawer.

Best little kitchen knife you can have. Versatile, sharp and easy to use

disappointed that the knife has lost some of its coating - and its once superb cutting edge after only six months. Have had to re-sharpen the blade to restore its cutting edge - however it still cuts extremely well

Have now had mine for 3 years and is been great but bent tip due to misuse and am just going to order new one

Mark I had the same problem as you. One of my knives snapped at the handle. Only difference is that I was chopping tomatoes!! Wasn't truly happy with the knives ever since I bought them at the Ideal Home Show. The blades were certainly sharp and cut well but they began to discolour. I had already phoned the company a few days after buying them to ask if they could go in the dishwasher. I spoke to Phil who told me that their knives would not get damaged in the dishwasher but over time they might not last as long as a set that was washed by hand. I read in one review response that discolouration happens when the knives are put in the dish washer. That's not what I was told. I only had the knives for around a year and I didn't have the receipt anymore to claim for a replacement for the one that snapped. I therefore went out and bought a new set but a different brand, which I'm more than happy with.

Purchased the 5" and 8" knives and unfortunately the handle has come away from the 8" knife whilst my husband was carving our sunday roast. The 5" knife seems to be ok. We don't have a dishwasher so everything is hand washed. Very disappointed

A well balanced knife with a comfortable handle that provides a secure grip. As advertised these are very sharp blades (this is good as a sharp blade is much safer than a dull one), just treat them with due respect as with any cutting tool. Also,it's very easy to maintain the keen cutting edge with the provided sharpening tool, many other kitchen knives seem impossible to sharpen and/or maintain a good edge. The holes in the blade do work in helping to reduce friction and releasing the food being cut. overall an excellent buy.

This knife has been used just about every day since we purchased it. It was bought specifically as it would cut through swedes with much reduced effort than normal. It has proved to be an excellent, all purpose knife and much recommended.
