TUO Sashimi Sushi Yanagiba Knife - Japanese Kitchen Knife 10.5" with High Carbon Stainless Steel Sharp Blade - Slicing Carving Knife Right Handed Single-bevel(Tanto) - Meteor Series

I was really shocked when I received this Sushi Knife in my amazon box. The main package was huge, but then I opened it and got this wonderfully looking packaged that looked really fancy. I opened the box and everything was packaged very delicately and precisely; even the wipe cloth was folded so crisp. The blade came clean with no smudges or fingerprints. When I actually used this blade on a fish, it was very easy to cut compared to the regular knives I have in my kitchen. I would say this was definitely worth buying and it looks really cool when you're prepping fish in front of your friends when using it.

Just ok

For $20 some odd dollars I wasnt expecting the most amazing knife in the world. I did not expect a cheap plastic handle to be slapped on.It's kind of comfortable so I dont mind it, just would have been nice to know ahead of time.This knife came as dull as a butter knife. Being a sashimi knife it is a bit more difficult to sharpen and for any amateurs you need special tools to sharpen it.The knife is beautiful with a mirror finish, however it's so dull you cannot use it. It's incredibly difficult to bring the edge back yourself unless you're a pro (and I'm not) just maintaining that edge requires alot of work, but I don't even have the edge to maintain. Returning.

Have purchased other TUO knives, and the quality is definitely evident in each one that I've purchased. Other TUO knives are on my radar for myself and as gifts for people who I know will appreciate them.Would like to see better packing of merchandise when it's shipped by seller as mine, even though it was in a gift type box from the factory, the seller put it in a 3 foot long oversized box with no packing material and it just bounced around it the box.

This knife works great for cutting sashimi. The handle part felt comfortable to hold which is another plus. Especially because my husbond hold them all the time at work.

its to heavy for working the all day with it too thick and not sharp enough

Kick ass knife. Love it the more I use it

Plastic handle. Ughh. Had to craft my own handle. Blade is good though.

Muy buen producto, hecho con buen material y de calidad, además retiene el filo muy bien

Very good value for the price, knife is very heavier than most Yanagiba's. It comes with plastic handle instead of wood, but its still very comfortable and provides good grip. Knife was a little dull out of the box, but nothing a quick sharpen on a wet stone and so far so good. The Tanto knife tip also looks amazing. The price point for this knife is a steal.

Good product

I know what a knife of this style is supposed to be like... but I cannot fathom why anyone would make this monstrosity.Profile and geometrical look correct from the side. But geometry in every other aspect is wrong.This is a HEAVY knife that weighs 303 g. It is as heavy as my made in China German style 8" chef knife which has a full tang and I always thought it was heavy... However that knife in the hand feels half as light as this one.So: spine is 3.8mm thick half tang only (checked with magnet). no rivets, so held inside handle by barb structure 303 g - balance is two inches from the handle. not even close to being as sharp as my $20 sashimi knife (made in China).It is completely unwieldy in the hand.The only redeeming quality is the shape of the knife handle which looks like an old style Japanese handle. ... and then you pick it up, and say... I can't use this except as an ax. I would buy this for cost of the steel to use as a decoration, but for only $5. Which is why I'm only giving it one star.Will be returning it without even using it.packaging is nice, but I would not give this as a gift.

Too thick for sushi, sashimi cuts fine
