Update: 7 years since I bought these and they are still the best knives in my kitchen. No rust, chipping, flaking. The non-stick has 'faded' but never flaked or chipped like some of these reviews. The cutting edge holds up quite well and in the recent two years I've done quite a bit of cooking. I usually sharpen once every 3 months or so with a whetstone, and just use a honing rod every other time I use the knives. Incredibly sharp each time and slices through soft tomatoes with gravity alone. I think what makes them superior to the other knives is just how thin and forgiving the blades are. My other knives are rigid, somewhat thicker, and feel more like 'choppers,' whereas these feel more like 'slicers.' Personally I prefer the extra flex in the blade, and the thinness means I can get a thinner/finer cutting edge. I honestly don't know how people are snapping their knives like they are. I've had these for 7 years and counting, and I've cut things soft to hard and large to small. Even my mom decided these were better than her $50+ knives and got a set for herself. I'm just waiting to wear them out up to the holes from sharpening one day and then I'll get new ones. ------------ Holy hell these knives are great. Super light, and super sharp. Bought two and have been using them for 2 years with my roommates, and they still slice like cutting butter. Could probably use some sharpening now, but still much sharper than the other knives we have. Definitely would recommend. So cheap and sharp. Will be the next knife I buy, if I ever need another.

I bought this because I was buying ingredients to make sushi at home and I figured why not buy a sushi knife, it's $7, what have I got to lose. After first making some gross sushi I started using this knife for other things, like vegetables and meat. This is seriously the best knife I own, and I own a few good ones. It's super sharp and it'll cut through anything with ease. The one downside is that it's not the most sturdy and I feel like if I did something stupid with it it'd break, but that's fine, I don't plan on hitting it with a mallet or anything. So if you're getting sushi ingredients to try your hand at homemade sushi and you're curious about whether or not you should drop even more money on sushi startup costs even though you have a knife already, go ahead and get this knife. Worst case scenario you have an awesome knife at a crazy low price. Read more

I am a sushi chef and bought this knife on an impulse to use at home. The knife is pretty decent for the price tag. The bad news? It feels kinda cheap - the handle, blade, etc. The good news? It IS cheap. 4 stars for the price and fun factor. Right out of the box, the knife was pretty darn sharp and looked like it was ready to kick some sushi butt. And kicked butt it did -- a killer knife with maki and rolls, but not at all effective when using wax paper. In regard to it's non-stick feature, it worked okay. I still had to use a wet towel to wipe off the blade between sushi rolls. Overall, the knife was fun to look at and play with, but once the novelty wore off...I was pretty much done with it. However, I'd definitely recommend the knife for at-home cooks looking to experiment with sushi. The price can't be beat! Read more

This is an outstanding chef's knife! Light as a feather, it came razor sharp, it is well built, and slices vegetables, fish and meat with ease. It will not replace your heavy duty chef's knife for jobs like partitioning the bird, or anything where heavy knife with sturdy blade is needed, but will compliment such knife perfectly. I've used it today for chopping veggies and slicing raw fish and shrimps, as well as slicing prepared rolls of maki sushi. This knife performed outstandingly. Non-stick surface made slicing effortless. After job was done, clean up also was a breeze. I must mention that this knife would likely to be ruined if you stick it in the dishwasher. If you want to enjoy your knife longer and preserve sharpness - hand cleaning is a must. Read more

Bought this knife for very low price (under $10) and I really like it. I wish the seller (Chef Knife) sold more different types of knifes. When I got it it was very sharp. Like any knife it dulls over time but sharpens really well. The holes on the side of the knife do help keep food from sticking to it. The non stick coating makes it very easy to clean. When I bought this knife they didn't have the option of getting a 2, 3, and 4 pack but I wish they did. It would of been a nice inexpensive gift to give to someone. That person would have thought I spent a lot of money on the gift too. My advice to you is get the knife. And if its the only thing in your cart to reach $25 get a simple to use knife sharpener and knife sharpener stick. I'm no knife sharpening expert but mine seems to stay sharper longer when I use a knife sharpener then finish it off with a stick. Read more

The knife is nice because I only really use it for sushi, I have a strong feeling the only reason the knife stays sharp is because I only use it to cut my sushi rolls. The knife is long which is great for cutting sushi but the non-stick finish does not really do much, as I was expecting I still needed to wet my knife in between cuts. The blade is very thin and it does not feel very strong it feels like if I ever cut something harder it could shatter. I do not love the plastic handle but it definitely works. If you are looking for a starter sushi knife this is a great way to start but if you plan on making sushi in the long run I highly suggest investing a little more money in a better knife. There are tons of options out there in a variety of price ranges. Read more
