Just kidding. I love my Vics. They're more knife than the vast majority of people need. I've got a decade and some change of professional cooking under me and I've spite of having some nice, expensive and beautiful steel in my roll, my 8" Victorinox chef's knife is what you're likely to find in my hand, at work or at home.
I'm not sure if I have the 5 or 6 of this knife, but it's my wife's favorite knife. I like it quite a bit as well, especially for tasks where a deep belly isn't really suitable.
One thing about Victorinox knives is they don't have amazing edge holding ability. The upside to that is maintenance is fast and incredibly easy, and it's a great knife to learn how to sharpen by hand with (it's so easy, don't be scared!) A coarse stone will make quick work of any chips or nicks in the edge. The steel isn't quite as brittle so if you drop it, you're less likely to break it.
That said, this isn't a fantastic deal, it's just about what it runs normally.
I really like the 6" chef knife due to my small (crowded) counters and small cutting boards. I hate using a bigger knife for something that doesn't necessarily need a bigger knife. This is a great deal on this knife, super tempted, Victorinox has a solid reputation. This is one of two knives I never thought I would love, the other is a straight 6" boning knife...throw in a paring knife and that'll just about do 95% of what I need.
Can't speak to the seller, but the product is awesome. Bought a pair of these and I use them for the majority of cutting/slicing on a daily basis. It's more of a utility/large paring knife for my use 👍

Vic knives are stamped, which means they are thinner than forged, chip out less, and slice very well. They are my 2nd favorite knives after Mercer.
OH NO STAMPED STEEL AVOID!!!

Fairly average price on these. Will say that these are petty/utility knives; they aren't very tall so it can be tedious to use as your primary knife for chopping and other tasks.
It's not. For that price get actual Japanese forged knives; Tojiro A-1 (also called Tojiro DP Bolsterless half tang/2 rivet) is VG-10 and far better. They have 4 models; gyuto, santoku, nakiri, and petty/utility.
They have a lower end line called Reigetsu/Fuji Cutlery; wouldn't get them aside from their more niche models, like debas, honesukis, and yanagibas. They're stamped/laser cut from a generic steel and then finished in Japan. Not really worth the small savings in price.
Grab the petty/utility knife if you're looking for a direct analogue to this knife deal.
