Sharp out of the box, cutting paper effortlessly. Blade design is minimal, but that’s not what I bought it for. Speaking of the blade, I got the shorter version 6 inch something which is fine, but this one has the profile closer to a a boning knife than a chef’s knife, so we’ll see how that works out. The back of the blade has a slight bump to it, which I could do without, but very slight. Still I wonder why that’s there as it seems to add nothing. Nice hefty feel to it, although perhaps a bit heavy in the handle if you’re fussy about proper weighting (knives should balance like a seesaw right where the blade meets the handle). Overall, it’s a pretty handsome little knife, although I think if I had to do it over again, I’d buy the bigger one. I suppose I could send this one back in exchange, but then again, the price goes up quite a bit so there’s that. I held back one star because of these things, and I really haven’t had a chance to see how well the blade will hold up. Apparently it’s quite hard steal, which usually equates to staying sharp longer, but being more brittle and there’s always the trade-off with the blade that stays sharp longer, because it’s also More difficult to sharpen. Update: I liked the knife so much I went back and bought the 8 inch version and again, razor Sharp right out of the box. If you wait, you can catch this knife on sale at a ridiculously discounted price, which is what I did., and it’s a no-brainer when they discount it. Don’t even think about it just buy it. If you don’t like it, you can send it back, but you won’t. I’m upgrading to five stars.

Beautiful knives, NOT "Laser etched" as some may claim - they are San-Mai... the hardened steel is sandwiched between 33 layers of softer stainless steel damascus on each side, for a total of 67 layers total. The larger knives are balanced VERY well, and the fit and finish is almost equal to knives costing many hundreds more. (I'm a custom knife maker, so that is a big deal for me) My only gripe, is that one of the smaller of the set came less sharp than I expected (all the other ones were scalpel sharp), but I have a knife sharpening hobby, so that's a non-issue for me. These are the Chinese version of VG10, and you'd find yourself almost impossible to tell the difference. (It's the same steel formula, but with a VERY slight advantage over the time-tested VG10... given the same heat treatment) My best Kitchen knives are VG10, and these are on pare with them. Beautiful, ultra sharp, relatively easy to sharpen, long lasting edge, and a pleasure to work with in the kitchen. BUT - bear in mind... the edge is SO hard (which is amazing for edge holding abilities), DO NOT cut bone, or anything you wouldn't try to bite with your teeth, and they'll serve you well. Also, NO DISHWASHER- HAND WASH ONLY, and only use an end-grain WOOD cutting board... no metal, ceramic or hard surfaces to cut on. Take this advice and you'll adore these. (BTW - the advice given here applies to ALL knives made with today's modern "super steels")

I watched a YouTube video that reviewed this knife. It is so nice for the money, I’ve bought a 2nd one now and a friend has also purchased one it’s that good! I’m never going to own chef quality knives, I cook a lot and I reach for this one over my old trusty Cutco knife each time. It works perfectly, is super sharp and glides through chopping. The grip feels right in my hand and weight is nice. Seriously no faults. It comes with a clear plastic cover and a decent box but I tossed the box and just keep it in its sleeve so I don’t accidentally cut myself. Do yourself a favor and raise your chopping game with this easy to use knife.

Great sharpness out the box. It does not have great food release but it does work very well.

Excellent quality for price. says GOD on end for some reason. Sharp out of box. Seems to be real layers steel. Very cool

Coltello molto maneggevole e affilatissimo. Forse un po' piccolo ma sulla qualità non si discute.

Très satisfait de mon achat ! En plus d’être un bel objet, agréable à regarder et éveillant la curiosité de mes amis, ce couteau est d’une facilité déconcertante dans son utilisation. Assez long, il est malgré tout bien balancé, agréable à prendre en main et facile à manier, ce qui le rend plutôt rassurant malgré son fort tranchant et son gabarit conséquent. Et parlons en du tranchant ! Quel plaisir pour couper viandes ou légumes ! On tranche tout (n’allez néanmoins pas l’utiliser pour des os ou autres parties très dures, il n’est pas fait pour cela et vous risquez d’endommager le fil) avec une facilité déconcertante. Pas besoin d’allers retours, une seule glisse nette suffit pour réaliser une coupe parfaite tout en gardant le contrôle sur l’épaisseur. La lame étant suffisamment large pour ne pas dévier de sa trajectoire initiale, on est surpris par la finesse des tranches qu’il est possible de réaliser. C’est un sans faute pour ce couteau au très bon apport qualité prix qui est vite devenu un outil indispensable de ma cuisine. Robuste il est parfaitement fini avec des petits détails très séduisants, notamment la calligraphie sur la lame ou encore le pictogramme apposé à l’arrière du manche. En outre, sa lame en acier Damascus aux sublimes dessins fait preuve d’un tranchant exemplaire. Un très bon investissement qui décuplera votre plaisir de faire la cuisine pour un prix malgré tout contenu.

Très bon couteau, bien équilibrée, avec un bon tranchant qui ne s'émousse pas rapidement. un simple passage au fusil en fonction de la fréquence d'utilisation suffit généralement a lui rendre sa superbe ce qui est tout a fait normal quelque soit le couteau. je ne peut pas affirmer qu'il s'agisse ou non d'un vrai acier damas, n'étant pas un spécialiste, mais en tout cas le couteau est esthétiquement superbe et remplie sa fonction première : il coupe super bien. Pour répondre aux différentes critiques de manières constructives : Il n'est pas mentionné dans l'annonce que le couteau est japonais, ont parle juste d'acier et de style japonais il est clairement noté que le couteau est chinois, il faut juste savoir lire !! De même ,les personnes qui se plaignent de la fragilité de la lame soit en coupant des os ou le rangeant dans un tiroir. il s'agit d'un acier très dur donc cassant. Il ne faut quand même pas abuser ce sont des couteaux destiné à émincer les légumes et trancher la viande pas a désosser et il doivent être stocker individuellement, sinon il ne faut pas ce plaindre qu'il n'y ait plus de tranchant!! C'est comme percer du béton avec un foret a bois et ce plaindre après qu'il est abimé, peut-être qu'avant de critiquer l'outil, il faudrait peut-être avoir un regard juste sur la façon dont on l'utilise !! Je précise que je n'ai aucune relation avec la marque, juste un gros raz le bol des commentaires sensés vous être utiles remplis de conneries.

AVISO: No se sujeta bien a soportes magnéticos. Vas a necesitar una funda si sueles colocar tus cuchillos así. Muy cómodo y extremadamente afilado. El acabado de la empuñadura no es super suave, tiene un efecto visual parecido al de las impresiones 3D (imagino que la textura de fibra de carbono), pero para un cuchillo a este precio y de estas caracteristicas es un detalle sin importancia.
