Anyone tried these?

Murray Carter makes some really great kitchen knives. His Muteki line isn't all that expensive either, and is closer to a western style too. They use a carbon steel core at a high RC, to take an edge as sharp as possible and hold it, and stainless outer laminations. A nice Murray Carter large chef style knife is one thing I am thinking of picking up at NYCKS.
 
Doesn't look too good, but for the price, if you don't cook much, might be worth the money. I don't like wooden handles on kitchen knives. Look for Henckel's or Wusthof if you want something nice.

Looks like a "cheap knife" - priced like one too :D.

It seems to have a relatively thin stamped blade and has no bolster so I wouldn't count on it for any but the lightest chopping. Heavy chopping requires a cleaver but a decent chef's knife should at least be able to chop through smaller poultry bones.

I use my 8" chef's knife more than any other knife so I like it to be versatile. Mine is a relatively inexpensive Henckels with sintered blade permanently bonded into the high density plastic handle and I've had good use from it for around 10 years already.
 
This is probably a fine knife. I trust most of Camillus lines. But doesn't this handle seem very very thin? That's my concern.

Your link doesn't work anymore.

If you MUST buy a $20 knife. Get a Chicago Cutlery one from Target.

Spyderco has decent kitchen knives too. I've seen them dirt cheap on ebay.
 
Go threw ebay and youll get a good deal, If you go to a local chef shop they will rip you off.
