i have only us the pair a few times. I sadly don't have any photos of me using them. I can tell you that they are pretty precise and plenty sharp. Thanks for such a fine product.

The weight of the knife and the razor edge make it prefect for all types of slicing.

The set is complete! These steak knives are phenomenal. Razor-sharp, perfectly weighted, and they make cutting through even thick cuts feel effortless. A major upgrade from standard steak knives—worth every penny. 🔪🥩

Customer video review of The Melina Knife

This is my first new knife ever. I've always had hand me down knives before this. I didn't realize what I was missing. The sharpness is off the charts. So much easier to food prep now. So much easier to cut steaks. Absolutely loving my new Nikos Knives!

The perfect weight, great stability, and superb edge make this knife feel like an extension of my arm! The leather sheath is lovely and so much better than a knife block. I’m already planning more complicated recipes and techniques to use it with!

Customer photo review of The Melina Knife™

The best knife I’ve ever used! I use it during the whole time I’m cooking. One day I couldn’t find it in the kitchen as I’m preparing to make dinner and I lost my mind and decided not to cook if my family don’t tell me where my knife is. It’s gotten to this point now that I don’t know how to make dinner without using it. I have bought this one for my mom. The one I have my husband has gotten for me in February for my birthday because he knows I’m obsessed with the cooking videos you guys post. If your kitchen doesn’t have this knife then you’re missing out big time!
