Review of Mundial Future 10-inch Chef's Knife with Hollow Edge

First a little background. I have always been interested in cutting utensils; own tons of pocket and hunting knives so a few months ago decided to upgrade the kitchen cutlery from a Sabatier starter set.

Kicked off with a Farberware 23 piece classic forged set. From there have added knives from Anolon (a 9 piece set and Santoku), Calphalon (Katanta), Henckels, Sabatier, and Wusthof. Also bought a Waring electric knife sharpner so I did not have to Lansky when steeling did not bring back the edge. I mean anything worth doing is worth overdoing. The only knife I wanted to add I did not have was a 10 inch chef.

Looked around and decided to try the Mundial. The granton edge Future at Amazon was easily the best price anywhere on a forged 10 inch chef (even less than most stamped) and since I did not have a metal handled knife this was easy choice.

When I unpacked was literally "love at first sight". Balance was just right, handle felt great, edge was extremely sharp and smooth, blade had a nice bell ring and over-all appearance was in a word awesome. Makes you want to slice, dice, cut, carve, puree and peel.

Probably best said quoiting a surgeon friend of mine who is no stranger to a cutting instrument; this is an awesome piece of steel just makes you want to go out kill a deer and start processing. Sorry to some folks but to a lot of us PETA is people eating tasty animals.

In summation the best looking, feeling and handling kitchen knife I own.

Review of Mundial Future 6-inch Chef's Knife with Hollow Edge

This is a quality knife with great balance and a good feel. I teach the Boy Scout Merit Badge for Cooking and I bought 8 to give as prizes to best student in each class. The 6" blade is very easy to control, and therefor safer for smaller inexperienced hands. Needs to be hand washed and dried because of the high Carbon Content.

Review of Mundial Olivier Anquier 6-inch Chef's Knife with Hollow Edge

Bought this and the four inch Olivier chef by Mundial because I was so impressed with the Future ten inch granton edge I had purchased.

To be honest I needed more cutlery about as much as Marie Antoinette did, but both were on sale and buying them together qualified me for free shipping.

The knives arrived yesterday - IMPRESSIVE. Packaging was almost unreal. Form fitted foam lined with canvas. Which seeing how this knife is a cutlery piece of art is appropriate.

This knife looks so good it seems almost a shame to use. The fit and finish are top notch, the one-piece wooden handle is gorgeous and I have yet to figure how how they attached it. The spine is ultra thick tapering to a fine point providing strength and rigidity without excess weight. The blade is ultra sharp and as important smooth. The pommel end of the grip is engraved with the name of the knife. A classic touch.

In short, there are many brands to fit many budgets but if you want to go totally top notch you really need to look at Mundial. I know the cordon bleu school did and chose Mundial.

Review of Mundial Solid Wood In-Drawer Knife Storage Tray, Large

Nice construction and finish.Works as advertised.The only problem is that low height drawers will not permit taller knives like a Santoku to fit.I'm not prepared to sacrifice one of my few deeper drawers for my knives yet so this product may be limited in its applications.

Otherwise it works as intended... keeping my knives away from my cats and keeping the sharp edges away from blindly groping fingers.
