The Mrsen Chef knife promises a stellar slicing experience under $ 100 – but can it distribute?

I have tested dozens and dozens Chef’s knifeSo I know about one or two things that make a good. Certainly, there are personal preferences – I am like a compact handle – but some objectives are also the truth: a good chef knife should be sharp, balanced and easy to use. If it is inexpensive and easy to maintain then it receives bonus points. Keeping these criteria in mind, I received my hands at a reasonable value Missain chef knifeIt ran through a litni of tests, and used it in my daily cooking routine to see if it was good.

tests

• Edge Charpne Test: I ran a knife through Edge-on-up professional edge examiner Three times and averages the results to get an idea of ​​the knife out-of-the-box acuity.
• Paper Cutting Test: After driving the knife through the sharpness reader, I used it to piece vertically through a piece of paper, given whether it cuts tight or cleaning.
• Onion test: I used Misain to darling an onion, given that it makes clean, clean cuts.
• Carrot test: I used a knife to cut Julien, Dice and Hardy Carrots.
• Tomato Testing: Tomato’s skin is rubber, so if the knife is sluggish, it will see or mash it through it. I put Missain to misunderstand by using it to slices and dice a whole tomato.
• Pineapple test: I used Missain to trim, core, and to trim a whole pineapple, to see if it could cleverly.
• General Uses Tests: I continued to use the Misen Chef’s knife for a few weeks, given if it was fast and versatile.

What we learned

Misain Chef’s knife was fast

Just out of the box, Misain was sharp. It took an average of 118 grams of pressure on the shore tester to cut through the wire, which falls in the “double-aided razor blade” sharp category. This chartWhile a sharpness is not reading-all-end-all, it still often indicates a knife that will easily cut through food. And that Misain also did: it slipped neatly through the skin of tomatoes, which could cause trouble for a dull blade. The carrot was sent without hoof, and the use of the knife was a smooth and accurate, the core, and dice.

It is also good that Misain is made of stainless steel. It is a good introductory blade that does not require much care in the form of carbon steel, which is more brittle and is likely to rust. A blade edge that can be honored back in shape is also a bonus.

It has an heel heel

Enter my greatest qualification with Mrsen: Heel. It exits the rock-chop motion and out to exclude. Since there is a strong curve in the blade, it bothers even more when the heel suddenly hits the edge. cutting board– It seems that the stroke is incomplete. It is not unique to the chef’s knife; I have tested several Mrs.in knives and have only one issue.

Another qualification: while I like a long chef knife-I love 8.2 inches Mohsono UX10– Mrs.’s blade felt gangli. Poled with a protein heel, cutting motion was stilt and off-kilter. I think this is because it has a slightly longer blade, which is near two inches at its longest point.

The handle was comfortable

The negative one side, the handle was cute: compact, smooth, and with a matte coating that made it easy to hold. This allows me to feel more in control and also makes good purchases even when a hard pineapple is broken. Editor Rochelle BiloThose who have ownership and use of Mrs., consucers. She says, “The handle of the Mrsen knife is best used, which I have used – it is enough that I can cut and slices confidently, even when my hands are moist,” she says.

Decision

Missain chopped and neatly immersed, onion, carrots, tomatoes, and without stopping through pineapple. I liked the overall handle, with a matte texture that helped me get a good grip. However, I found that the chopping motion is still due to a long heel, broad blade and large size curve. While this is a decent knife, at $ 98, I think there are other, better, similar price options, such as, such as Misano GutoHe said, if you want a solid stainless steel blade that is easy to maintain, then Missain is a good option.

Party

The blade was fast outside the box, and cleverly peeled chopped onions, carrots carrots, chopped tomatoes, and a pineapple. I also liked the overall handle, which was grippy even when wet. It has a goldelox weight of 8.3 ounces – neither too heavy and very light. It is a good quality knife for less than $ 100, and its stainless steel blades require slight maintenance.

Opposition

Blade curve, its height, and large heel made the chopping speed solid. The heel hit the cutting board quickly during each stroke, stopping the speed suddenly – I was not a fan.
