8-inch Professional Chef's Knife

I am always looking for new items to give my son-in-law. He is a little hard to buy for since he has most everything. The one thing he can use even though he has many is a knife. He owns a restaurant and always on lookout for new ones. They get taken or just don't perform good. I got this one for him to give a go. The handle has raised blisters, knots so it gives you something to hold on to better. He liked that. Also the color of the handle made it easy to spot when he was looking for it in the drawer.(I sort of changed this by getting him magnetic rack to put more used knifes on) He liked it for cutting through but not for dicing. The weighted handle slowed him down when he diced. Commented it was very sharp now but he really wants a few weeks to see how it holds up. It did make a nice gift and provided us with a bit more conversation. Will key you in if they are any negative points with it later on but for now he's good to go in the kitchen. These are my own findings a true impartial review of an item I received at a DISCOUNTED PRICE as a promotion.

Butcher Knife

I want to make sure you understand I received a package stating 12 in knife and not an 8 in knife as listed. I read further and it was my mistake. It is listed by blade size and not complete knife. I even contacted my representative to ask about it. However the structure, handle and blade are all exactly as stated . I am glad it never needs sharpening because I can't. I learned a long time ago you get cut with a dull knife more often than a sharp one because you tend to apply to much pressure. This one is very sharp. Apples are my test and it did great. I will post pic of them. I like the balance of the handle also, it is easy to make the right cuts. Since I grew up on a farm we used a butcher knife to cut up large pieces of meat. We did cut through bones. I tried on a small ham bone in center cut, it cut meat great but less than needed to get through bone easily. I consider this a great chef knife but not a butcher knife. The blade is thin and my experience it should be a bit thicker for bones. I did not want to keep forcing and break it so I just stopped. I am well pleased to have it in my kitchen as I don't have a big need to cut through bones. IN EXCHANGE for my true impartial review, my own findings.

Arabica Coffee Scrub



Just love the smell. I have been trying some new scrubs and when I saw one with coffee I knew I had to order it. I spend a lot of time in the elements being a miner. I can't afford the luxury of going only when the weather is good. My skin is exposed to temps from below zero to over 100 at times. I am prone to dry skin and need help anyways. This leaves a nice silky moisturized feeling. It isn't greasy like some are. I have used it for only a few days and have not seen changes to my stretch marks.Since they have been there for over 40 years I believe it will take more time to see an improvement. I plan to keep using it just for the feel it gives me my skin. The others being more oily and not as dry was to much for my face but I am able to use this one on my face. It feeds the skin keeping it hydrated and giving it less wrinkle retention. IN EXCHANGE for my true impartial review, my own findings, I received this product at a DISCOUNT
