Very ergonomic and sharp as a blade can be. Look forward to using it. Think I'll call it Kirmi. My other chef's knife is called Cheffi but will now be relocated to a spares drawer... Review: A bit of an oddity in some ways. - This knife was actually better in the hand than it looked in the pictures. The handle scales looked decidedly cheap in the photos but in real life they're ok and comfortable to hold. So what makes this a bit of an oddity? Essentially the blade profile. It has a single bevelled blade, meaning one side of the knife is flat, whilst the other and angled and tapers toward the cutting edge. That's not unusual in itself, it's just knives are usually flat on the left hand side and tapered on the right ... this isn't, it's the opposite. The idea is that the tapered side pushes the meat or fish away from the user's hand. This doesn't. Is it made for left handed chefs? Also strictly it's a Yanagiba knife used for slicing fish, often sushi. Nowhere does it say this in the description. It cuts reasonably well but could do with a stone sharpen. DO NOT try to use a regular knife sharpener with this knife, it will ruin the cutting edge. It has a long blade which means you can draw the knife in long smooth strokes to cut through the fish in a single pass, making a very clean cut essential in sushi presentation. Not a bad knife, just an odd blade orientation and I'm surprised they didn't describe it as a Yanagiba knife. ## Features - [ PREMIUM JAPANESE STEEL ] - The chef knife blade is made of a High Carbon Chrome Molybdenum Stainless Steel which offers the ideal balance between edge retention and durability.

And how often should it be sharpened if used daily?** A: Hi there, We advise the following maintenance guidelines: 1. Hone the blade with a honing rode once every 3-4 days (honing should take no longer than 10-20 seconds) 2. Sharpen the knife with a 1000 grit whetstone once every 3-6 months. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by P***R on 12 January 2025* Absolutely superb knife.
