This knife is beautiful in every way. I don’t care it wasn’t made in Japan as some reviewers commented. I used to make real swords before retiring and I can tell you the craftsmanship is superb and every bit as good as if it was made in Japan and the price I paid for it was well below anything made in Japan.
I’m not a professional, so I cannot really compare this with other products or talk about the actual quality of the materials or the built.
What I can say is that, even coming from another good quality knife, the difference was impressive and put a smile on my face.
The product looks and feels great and it comes in a nice package. It has a certain weight to it and I can finally understand when I heard people saying:”You have to let the knife do the job”.
Many of the things I was kind of struggling to do, now they are pretty much effortless.
Very happy about the product, especially considering the good discount I received during the prime days.
If you chop a lot of stuff for your daily meals, it’s definitely worth buying a good knife like this one.
Bought this to give as present to my Dad. He is very happy at the quality and sharpness of the blade.
I love this knife I used it daily at work and it is so easy to handle and is super sharp, excellent value for money
Excellent quality, design, super shape cutting edge, can’t go wrong with Damascus steel, and value for money.
Everything about this knife shouts class and quality. I got it as a birthday present (though admittedly one I chose myself) and I couldn’t be more pleased with it.
As a gift it is impressive straight away with the classy box which flips up to display knife inside, Ali g with blade protector and cleaning cloth.
The blade itself is a thing of beauty with the amazing pattern on the blade – which I think is called ‘raindrop Damascus’. I’ve tried to show a close up photo of the pattern but the blade is so shiny mostly what you can see is the reflection of my hand and phone taking the picture!
The handle is very solidly fitted and completely comfortable in the hand and the whole knife feels beautifully balanced.
As for sharpness, it arrives razor sharp and stayed that way for weeks. I’ve been using it daily for 4 months. I periodically sharpen my kitchen knives with a Japanese wet stone but I haven’t had to do that yet. A couple of strokes with my ceramic steel sharpener every few days brings it back to razor sharpness in seconds.
Okay, it’s not exactly cheap (that’s why I chose it as a present – I’m not sure I’d have allowed myself the indulgence of 70 or so on a kitchen knife) but it’s worth every penny and will be my prized possession in the kitchen for a long time to come.
If you’re looking for a classy gift for someone who loves cooking, you can’t go wrong with this.
One of the best knife I’ve used. And I’ve been a chef for 30+ years beautiful.
Actually really good value, way better than I expected for the price. Very sharp and looks good, feels good quality and came with a sheath-thing in the box aswell which is useful as my other nice knife didn’t come with one.
Very sharp will probably use this one the more. Good balance good size
Extremely sharp and well balanced knife!! No issues so far!
The knife is just used for our everyday cooking. It’ just takes a bit of getting used to use as it is so sharp! Got the hang of it now and it makes cutting thing so so easy it’s a pleasure to doing the prep work with it.
Arrived 2 days after ordering, ordered as a present for my daughter who has started work as a trainee chef. She loves the knife and says the head chef also keeps borrowing it!
I love it !The best knife .Save your time to chop meet and vegetables .
Brought for my partner who’s a professional chef, he absolutely loves it! Love the little extras it came with too. Arrived on it’s estimated delivery day, perfect birthday prese
Before purchasing these knives I did a lot of research and online product comparison. I decided that for the price (I didn’t pay full price) they were by far the best deal. I was delighted to find that they were everything I had hoped for and I would definitely recommend these knives to others.
Great addition to my KOI knife collection, highly reccomended and extremely sharp! 5 Sta
