From the Manufacturer
The perfect knife for all your large-scale cutting tasks, this 10-inch chef's knife expertly slices, dices, and chops bulky meats and vegetables. For many chefs, nothing beats the ergonomic comfort or classic styling of fully forged cutlery in "basic black." Mundial's 5100 Series Black is just that. The company's oldest line of fully forged knives, it exemplifies all the expertise that Mundial has acquired through its more than 70 years of crafting gourmet knives. 5100 Series Black is fully forged from high-carbon stainless steel and features a durable polyacetal handle in the traditional three-rivet style.

The Value of a Fully-Forged Knife
Mundial knives, with very few exceptions, are fully forged in a manufacturing process that combines innovative technology with old-world tradition and expertise. In the forging process, steel is heated to an extremely high temperature, set into a die, and hammered into the shape of the basic blade. Following a heating and cooling process, the forged blade is ground to create a full taper to the cutting edge. The result is a stronger, thicker, more resilient blade that flares smoothly at the heel to blend into the shape of the handle. Fully forged cutlery offers an array of key benefits, including greater tensile strength, increased durability, lasting sharpness, and better balance and control.

Construction
Mundial's computer-aided design creates the perfect shape and balance for chopping, dicing, and slicing all types of food. The knives are fully forged from high-carbon chrome molybdenum stainless steel for the best edge retention and sharpening ease. Each knife also undergoes Mundial's computerized blade grinding and polishing process to create a precise taper from tip to bolster (the quality bolster is the main feature of any truly forged knife). Busy chefs will appreciate the ergonomically crafted handles with full tangs, which deliver comfort, balance, and durability. Every Mundial knife is also hand sharpened and individually tested for ultimate performance.

Quality Control
How do Mundial knives compare to other premium cutlery? In addition to its extensive quality control procedures, Mundial regularly submits its products to an international independent testing facility. These standardized testing methodologies continue to show that Mundial knives are among the best in the world.

Customer Reviews

The equal or better of European knives
If you must have a forged knife in the kitchen you cannot go wrong with this. I'm a big fan of ten inch chef's knives. Most women and a lot of men would be better served using stamped blades but if you must have forged and your wrists are strong enough this is a serious knife that will do serious work in the kitchen. The steel is easily the quality of the high end euro knives I've used at 1/3 to 1/2 the price. The fit and finish is superb and the knife comes with a great edge and is relatively easily resharpened. There are some other knives out there with a higher profile but they will not function better or often as well as this knife, or any other Mundial, will. This knife, because of its length, can also double very well as a slicer. Great knife and a maker of other great knives.

Excellent knife. Great price.
I have owned many sets of knives and this one is as good or better than the more expensive German knifes that I have owned.

Thoroughly impressed
As a guy who has rebuilt his kitchen 3 times (starter kitchen, moved to the Philippines and built a kitchen, and now stocking my 3rd), Mundial came as a very pleasant surprise. I purchased this knife and their 5100 series santoku and in both cases the knife is incredibly easy to manage and maintain. As someone else mentioned, it are also very sharp. Not as sharp as my old Shun, but somehow it feels more robust. When you include the price as compared to other knives of similar quality this is a no-brainer must purchase for the all around knife.

The only possible complaint I can make is that the Mundial 5100 series doesn't have a Chinese chef's knife ..I got attached to them after living overseas.

If you want a high quality, sturdy, versatile knife without paying through the nose, this is the knife to get.
