Has anyone had problems with the edge chipping from normal use?

No i havent, i use mine 12 hrs a day, be sure to only use a wetstone to sharpen, and only use ceramic not a metal steele, never cut through bone, it should be fine

No I haven't. It's a great knife, very good quality. The best I have ever had. They are serious about sharpening with that wetstone though.

I have used mine at work, everyday since December 2013, dropped it and banged it around a couple of times and no chipping!! There is a small dent though :/

I've had these rods & shelves up quite some time and have not noticed any chipping. Very durable

Had that happen to me within about 2 months, luckily none of the plastic chips completely broke out, just some minor cracking, so my suggestion to anybody who buys these, do what i did and wrap some nice matte electric tape around the joint tightly, i say matte because it doesnt look that bad, and 2 years later it still works just as well as the day i bought, no mechanical failures from that piece again, but then again, i do take care of it to a certain degree (no slammin on the desk top cause you got killed 8 times in a row by the SAME KID)

The other answer seems to have got a bad product, or they changed their coating process at some point. I don't know the technical details, but mine has a very good finish, which, after more than 3 years of use, has not worn, chipped, or scratched very much at all. There are some small exposed spots that appeared after dropping it, but they have not caused any flaking. There is some slight fading where parts rub together or where it is handled most often, but you have to look for it.

I have had none. I just blow it clean and brush it off after each use. It is a workhorse. Use it periodically. I have had no issues. I sometimes spray a little oil on the till blades. unit still looks new

I have not had any chipping, however I have not owned them for very long. I love the knives, so I hope the paint does not chip

Hi Roger: This stacked dado system is the best I've found in over 50 years of woodworking. I have had little to no chip-out problems. The trick is keeping the blades sharp and in great condition, with no pitch or rust. Good luck, Cal

This specific shun knife collection is very easily chipped. I have been owned and taking care of this so well, but still chipped. Not sure why. However, it maintains sharpness very well and has great balance and feel so good in my hands. One of my favorite knife. After this, I cannot use any other German knives. Just wish it's not too chipped easily.

Significantly, one of mine took a chip out of a plywood workbench with little to no damage.The plastic ones I've used on the other hand seem to shatter whenever they touch anything other than air.

Pretty much. Has the same issue where edges fail over time, especially on curved surfaces.

My daughter has had hers for a while now and uses it daily with no problems. She has a case for it and still managed to fling it across some cement last weekend without breaking the screen. It's scratched but no pieces chipped off or missing.

I've had mine for about 6-8 mos and do not see any chipping. I have a variety of birds (magpie, Jays, small birds) and maybe even deer in the dark.I live in NM where it is always extremely windy and the feeder swings around w/o any problem or damage. I also have a copper cover like an umbrella in leaf shapesto keep the seed dry.

I purchase the set of knives by Hampton forge and I have not had any problems with the paint chipping. I use them regularly because I cater...I plan on ordering two more packs within a few months...very good product...

I use mine almost every day since I bought it in February of 2013. I love it, mine has not chipped or peeled. I wash the pan by hand, with mild gentle soap, never in the dishwasher. Is yours still under warranty? If it is, I would call the Zojirushi Company. Explain to them what happened and ask for a replacement pan. Good Luck! Hope this helps. Thanks!

I'm on my second one, the first died after 5 years of moderate use. No blade cracking problems for me, with either machine.

No so far I havnt seen it chip honestly..doesnt mean it might not..if it does its a small price to pay for such a professional durable board..you know you can always remove it and paint over it when ever�
