ROCOCO Japanese Steak Knife Portable Pocket Knife with Sheath for Kitchen Camping Outdoors BBQ Birthday Christmas Father Mother Gifts Idea Men

This is a wicked meat cleaver. Super sharp. The size is perfect. The quality seems excellent and it’s a great length for cutting things. We’re definitely buy again or give it a gift.

Well made works great

This was a gift for my husband for his birthday. It was a great price, and works fantastic. What caught my attention was the design. It was very sharp and worked right out of the package (after washing of course.) So far no rust and we've been using it for about 6 months. Great gift

So the videos on these Viking knives show men butchering and slicing meat like pros but the reality is, you don’t use a chopping knife to slice meat. The knife is cool and works great on all things chopping. It’s a nice addition for chopping veggies, chopping potatoes, chopping BBQ ribs, chopping BBQ or Rotisserie Chicken. But don’t try slicing a Prime Rib roast or Tri Tip with this. It just doesn’t work like that. We went and bought the rest of the set that has the slicers. Those work awesome for meat. It’s a cool knife, and it’s built well, forged well, and handles well.

I bought this knife over a year ago and before buying went through a number of reviews on it. In doing so I saw several that complained of the knife rusting after only a few weeks of use.Now I am very familiar with knifes and the steel they are made from. And as this knife is made from a carbon type steel yes it is prone to rust if it is not properly cared for.Me I always wash it off after use and dry it completely. And sometimes give it a very light coat of olive oil. And in doing so I have never had the first hint of rust on it. Plus it has stayed sharp only needing to use a steel bar every once in a while.It can't go in the dishwasher or sit around wet it does require a certain amount of TLC. So if you don't like to have to put in extra care for your knife I suggest you stay away from all carbon steel knifes. But if you like a good sharp knife that holds up well have no fear in purchasing this one.

I still like this knife, but now that I have used it for a while, I have to say that it's better than I gave it credit for. It's a one knife fits all. No need to use 3 or 4 when making a meal. It does everything. It just takes a little getting used to. I sharpened this knife on a stone and it holds an edge very well and slices tomatoes like a razor blade. It chops and dices and also cuts through more dense material, like bone. All of that and it's easy to clean. Simply wash it after use in warm soapy water, dry with a towel and wipe with mineral oil. I do this with all my knives. It keeps them from rusting, and it keeps food from sticking to them.Original Review:I like this knife and it can be used for a lot of things, just none of them well. It’s bulky and heavy for a knife. I think a good chef's knife would be a better investment. I suppose if you need it to cook and chop wood when camping, this is your knife. If you only use it for the kitchen, it’s not so great.

Friend who is a cook loved it!

Product arrived very quickly and in a nice simple presentation box. The leather sheath is lightly decorated and the snap is solid. I was really amazed at the weight and balance of the knife. It is fairly sharp but I will be putting it to the stones to really polish that edge. It is heavy enough to go thru meats and vegetables easily and precise enough to do most anything that my other knives are capable of. It's really a pretty cool look at and I would love to build a nice wooden holder for it in the future.Mine arrived with the blade lightly coated with oil and there was no rust anywhere. It will be used frequently. A great piece for the amount of money I paid. Bonus, there was a flash sale that knocked of a few more bucks from the cost.
