A comfortable knife and a great daily slicer?

Shane sJanuary 24, 2026✓ Verified purchase

This knife is durable and comfortable Japanese style wa handle with a nearly worry-free stainless steel finish. The tip is excellent for fine detail work on vegetables and fruit and has made it one of the knives in my top daily rotation. The packaging is incredible work of art of its own! The stainless steel finish prevents rust and patina from forming. I do not recommend putting this in the dishwasher! I Purchased during the before Christmas sale at a great value for my money. The knife arrived very sharp and holds an edge well. When sharpening this knife it is best suited to use high quality ceramic whetstones & diamond plates. On my first sharpening I was able to apply such an edge that really bumping my skin accidentally resulted in an injury. At 210 mm it is a great size for most kitchen tasks. Meat, chicken, vegetables and fruit are all game for this knife. Read more

Great versatile knife, fairly high clearance for knuckles

FMFebruary 4, 2026✓ Verified purchase

Awesome 0 degree angle knife, keeps an edge well, recommend an edge guard still to prolong sharpness. Great value for what it provides, make sure to clean after uses so the rough texture areas don’t retain any dried foodstuffs. Read more

Sharp, Light, and Handles Well But Defective

Yang LaveeOctober 6, 2025✓ Verified purchase

The packaging presentation is really nice. The knife is very light and so I wonder about durability. The tip of the knife is off centered, and I hope it doesn’t affect the knife. Out of the box, the knife is very sharp. I cut into a partially frozen steak and was able to make very thin cuts. It cut very well. I am delightfully impressed! If it can hold the edge sharpness and not chips, this will be a massive win for the price. Update: Returning because the knife is defective. I question if the knife is VG10 because the edge is sharp but defective. I cut partially frozen chuck, and a melon. Read more

Great knife for the price

The JDecember 12, 2025✓ Verified purchase

I've been using this knife for awhile now and I've been impressed with it so far. It retains a nice, sharp edge, cuts well and feels good in the hand. I haven't had any chipping or rust so far, but I do maintain it properly and avoid using it on hard materials like bone or nuts. Which you shouldn't be using a Japanese knife for anyway. I also wash and wipe it dry after every use. If you're willing to treat this knife properly, it will serve you well and it's a great knife for the price, when you catch it on sale. Read more
