Consider Mercer knifes instead... little more money but much better handle and all...

and an alternate Mercer knife for about half the price

Man really gives one sentence on why he thinks a similarly highly reviewed knife is better than another highly reviewed knife without any further explanation

They certainly have. My amazon history shows that I purchased 1 in 2013 for $17. That being said, it's still holding strong. I do sharpen it with a stone when needed.

Reviews complaining the underside of the handle is rough and unfinished, blade is only half tang (apparently they were falsely advertising it as full tang a few years ago with multiple reviews pointing this out), and tang is not flush with the wood causing concerns for water and bacteria getting in.

Fibrox handle is amazing.
I don't think many people realize that wood, metal, ivory, and other exotic materials make poor working cutlery.

Misen knives are a notch better than Vic's. Rubberized handles. Carbon steel though, so it's not for everyone. Especially those who love their branded knives with wood handles.

Try cutting a bag of onions with the Vic and you'll get why grippy handle is as important as balance and edge.

I recently bought these knives from Sams. My daughter needed some knives for her apartment so for the price I thought I'd give them a try. I used them on a test run cutting some veggies and thought they were a decent alternative to this Vic knife (which I own and use). Maybe others have used them more extensively and have better feedback. For those with a Sams membership you might give them a shot, especially given their price. If someone has used these and they are crap then ignore me.

Are Misen knives good? Lowkey always concerned when a brands main pull seems to be good internet marketing but will look into it
