Japanese Chef Knife, 8 Inch Kiritsuke Knife, Forged Japanese Sushi Knife, Carbon Steel Bunka Knife, Full Tang Chef Knives Professional, Christmas Gifts for Men Woman

Been working in the kitchen for 15 years and I gota admit this knife cuts it even slice my finger ounce like butter lol balanced perfectly edge is the amazing preary heavy but perfect for chopping look is awesome

I have smaller hands than hubby so wanted my own Japanese chef knife.I know about knives and have had expensive kiritsuke before, my favorite shape. (Basically an elevated version of the santoku.)This is a somewhat simpler kiritsuke but very nice for the price.It still is a carbon steel that holds a very sharp edge! It came nicely presharpened.Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY A STAINLESS STEEL KNIFE. This one is fine.Yes, you will have to wash and dry the knife after use to prevent rust, but that is quick.The handle is not completely round in Japanese style, but it's a nicely rounded square Western one that will fit most hands.Knife was shipped in a cardboard box, not a wooden one to use for storage. Also no sheath. You can't demand that for this kind of money ($30).I keep the knives in a small drawer laying on top of a lightly oiled paper towel. The occasional wipe with the oiled paper towel preserves the knives very well!In a nutshell: Very decent knife at a good price. Excellent for beginners wih Japanese style knives.

Great gift effective I bought it for a friend.

This is a good knife for the kitchen, it works well and cuts up meat very nicely.So, I bought another as a gift, Great knife, cut through meat with ease and fits nice in your hand.

This is the perfect knife for all knife things - cutting, chopping, slicing, making those fun knife sounds on the griddle....this is the total package knife. It arrives sharper than sharp and ready to slice and dice! I gifted this knife to several foodie friends, and they also love the design, balance, weight, and sharpness. Get it! Keep one on hand for gifting. Thank me later...

An almost perfect kitchen knife. I bought one for my mom and liked it so much I bought another for myself.

I purchased this item for a Christmas gift and the only feedback I’ve gotten is that it is extraordinary. Just be careful as it is really sharp!

Nothing is perfect but this comes pretty close .
