Cool question. I gave the knife you linked — Flambo 8‑Inch Chef Knife — a fair bit of thought, and I'm somewhat uneasy recommending it as a "good buy," especially if you care about long-term performance. Here's my unfiltered take + a few better alternatives in roughly the same price range.✅ What's maybe "OK" about the Flambo knife — but with caveats • The Flambo claims to use a German steel (X50CrMoV15 per its listing) — that type of steel can be adequate for a chef's knife, balancing corrosion resistance and hardness.  • At face value, an 8″ blade is the right size for a "do-everything" kitchen knife: chopping, slicing, dicing, etc. That matches what knife-buyers and cooking-guides consider the sweet spot for versatility. But there are enough red flags that make me hesitate: • I couldn't find any independent reviews or credible "real-world" tests of the Flambo knife. When you buy a knife online from a lesser-known brand, you're often taking a leap of faith on quality, heat treatment, balancing, and edge retention. That's a big gamble when good knife steel and forging matter a lot. • A good knife's value isn't just steel — it's how the blade is finished, how well it's heat-treated, how the handle feels and balances, how long it holds an edge, and how comfortable & safe it is to use. Many "budget chef knife" guides emphasize that poor materials or poor craftsmanship here will result in frequent sharpening, uncomfortable use, or even danger.  • Established cook/knife reviewers often recommend other brands as "best bang for buck" — especially in budget or low-mid ranges. Bottom line: Flambo might get the job done in a pinch — but I wouldn't trust it as my main chef's knife for everyday cooking. It's more "cheap utility" than "reliable kitchen workhorse."⸻🔪 Better Chef-Knife Alternatives (similar price / value-oriented)If you're willing to spend roughly the same amount (or slightly more) to get a better, more reliable knife that cooks and knife-people trust — here are some I'd pick over the Flambo.My take on these • Victorinox Fibrox Pro 8" Chef's Knife — Widely regarded as one of the best "budget-friendly but reliable" chef knives you can get. Great balance, ergonomics, and edge retention for home kitchens. Many cooking-knife buying guides highlight it when you want quality under ~$50.  • Cooks Standard 8" Chef's Knife — Basic but functional, with a high-carbon stainless blade and ergonomic handle. If price is the biggest concern, this is probably a safer bet than a no-name brand. • VINNAR 8" Professional Kitchen Knife — Another inexpensive knife. I'd treat it as a "backup" or "secondary" knife (e.g. prep veggies, light chopping), but if you want to experiment or don't want to risk a cheap mystery-brand for heavy use, this is a modest-investment alternative.⸻📌 What I'd do if I were you (and cooking regularly)If I were building a kitchen and only buying one chef knife — I'd spend a bit more (if needed) and get something with a proven track record: proven steel, known balance & ergonomics, and real reviews from cooks. My first choice would be the Victorinox Fibrox Pro; I'd then consider Cooks Standard if I was on a budget, but still want reliability.If you want — I can scan the best 8-inch chef knives under $75–$100 available right now (in U.S.) and output a list of 6–10 top contenders with pros/cons.Want me to build that list for you?

Handle looks awkward. Recommend a knife with a decent handle butt and a larger holster for balance
