Kimura Professional Honing Steel, 10 inch Honing Rod, Carbon Steel Knife Sharpener, Magnetized Steel, Ergonomic & Balanced Polypropylene Handle, Ideal for All Chef Knives, Japanese Gift Box

Took delivery of my knife and after a thorough wash instantly put it to work and wow what a knife this is, it's super sharpe, really well balanced, nice ergonomic handle, which is comfortable and easy to grip, it's also very light and not a too thicker blade.... which helps with the ease of chopping and just good all round quality. Onions no problem, couldn't even feel it cutting as the same with potatoes and carrot. It's the fastest chopping of veg i've ever achieved and was disappointed when i was done already. I would highly recommend this knife and will definitely be buying a few more that's in the range, absolutely worth every penny

The Kimura 8-inch chef knife has the classic size and shape that makes this style of knife useful for a wide range of everyday kitchen preparation. An eight-inch blade gives enough working length for chopping vegetables, preparing meat and handling larger ingredients without being unnecessarily specialised. The Japanese-made design is also appealing if you prefer a traditional chef-knife format rather than collecting separate knives for every task. Quality, performance and value all matter with something that will potentially be used every day, and this has the simple, practical specification I would look for in a general kitchen knife. The only neutral point is that an eight-inch chef knife can feel larger than necessary for very small preparation jobs. For regular cooking, though, that same size is what makes it such a versatile all-round option.

Nice and sharp feels very comfortable in hand very good for the price

Be careful these are a extremely sharp knives I mean that statement in a very positive way. Compared to my Western Chefs knives these make them look blunt. Very good quality fantastic price, buy a knife block to store them safely and also not to damage the blades

Love this product nice & easy to Handle..slices through food items with ease..A very good quality product for the money, also looks great in my knife block.

Recently decided not to buy new knives and bought this and a set of whetstones to effectively extend the lifespan of my knives. There are tons of options for these things so the quick summary is that this thing is well made and feels like it will last a long time it offers great value for money I’d highly recommend it. A honing Steel is used to realign the knife’s edge either before or after use, this ensures the knife stays sharper for longer. It’s important to understand that a honing steel doesn’t sharpen a knife. That said, it’s very easy to use, just run the blade along the steel like 4-6 times and you’re all good. Genuinely decent product, it’s worked well so far and it makes a real difference … in a professional kitchen they use these things constantly and have done for years, you can see why.

Excellent knife, very sharp. Probably too sharp, needs to be used and cleaned with care, particularly the tip and the edge near to handle!

I thought this would be a cheap knife that I wouldn't mind chipping while processing meat, but honestly, the quality has blown my mind. It's quite lightweight but also perfectly balanced for a pinch grip. The design is simple and elegant and wouldn't look out of place in any kitchen, from a family-run cafe to a Michelin-starred restaurant. The spine isn't rounded, but it has clearly been sanded to create soft edges that don't dig into your fingers. The knife is razor-sharp right out of the box. The only thing I can see that isn't perfect is that the handle bolster isn't completely symmetrical; however, that certainly isn't something you can feel when holding it. I would take this over the flimsy feeling Victorinox budget chef knives and day of the week. Quite honestly, I think I'm going to order the entire set. Thank you, Kimura, for surprising me with a very nice knife.

excelente cuchillo con relación valor precio insuperable .Estéticamente es elegante, muy bien terminado y pulido. esta bien afilado. y sobre todo original japonés, ya que buena parte de los promovidos como tal ,son en realidad de origen chino. en otras palabras, altamente recomendable

The Nakiri is exactly as described and razor sharp. It seems to be very well constructed and comfortable to hold. It's probably the sharpest out-of-the-box knife you will ever own. It's very handy for slicing vegetables, meat - what have you. Fast shipping. Would buy from again.

Excelente cuchillo, lo probare

Love it! Works very well.

This Kimura gyuto knife is superb, well manufactured and sharp. It's balance is just right and the handle has been nicely crafted. I would recommend this knife to anyone.
