SYOKAMI Butcher Breaking Knife for Meat Cutting, 10.5 Inch Japanese Style Curved Carving Knife with Wooden Full Tang Handle, Damascus Pattern, Razor Sharp Cimiters with Gift Box, Birthday Gift for Men

Love this knife, very very sharp. I use for salmon processing. Handle is made of wood, I would like to have it sealed of some way, like an oil based product because after washing (by hand) after it dries the wood has that really dried out feel and limelight colored, not as deep as brand new.

Awhile ago I purchased the SYOKAMI Butcher Breaking Knife (10.5 Inch Japanese Style Curved Carving Knife) and it has quickly became my favorite kitchen tool! This knife is an absolute gem for anyone who loves cooking, especially for meat prep. The high-carbon stainless steel blade with its Damascus pattern is not only gorgeous but also insanely sharp right out of the box. It glides through big chunks of beef/ brisket, pork, and chicken like butter, making slicing and carving effortless and precise. The 10.5-inch curved blade is perfect for larger cuts, and the balance feels just right, even during extended use. The wooden full tang handle is a standout feature—ergonomic, sturdy, and beautifully crafted, it fits comfortably in the hand and adds a touch of elegance to the knife’s overall aesthetic. The Damascus pattern gives it a premium, artisanal look, and the included gift box makes it an ideal present for any occasion. I was also impressed with the quality packaging, which ensures the knife arrives safely and adds to the gifting experience. I’ve used it for everything from breaking down roasts, whole primal cuts or big blocks of cheese, and it performs flawlessly every time. The blade holds its edge well, and when it does need sharpening, it’s easy to maintain. For the price, this knife offers incredible value, combining functionality, durability, and style. It’s a must-have for any home chef or BBQ enthusiast. I’m already considering buying another for our RV camping trips! Highly recommend this SYOKAMI knife for its craftsmanship and performance. One Minor Flaw: The wooden handle, while beautiful, requires occasional oiling to maintain its finish, especially with frequent exposure to water or meat juices. It’s a small trade-off for such a high-quality knife and easily managed with proper care.

Received today and used immediately. Absolutely amazing. Cuts like butter. Going purchase other sizes and throw old knives out. Let alone it is very sleek looking. A must but. Best knife I've ever owned in my 56 years of life. Already recommending to friends.

I absolutely love this knife. 1-great price, 2-a gorgeous design is etched into it that adds to the moment of cutting a beautiful cake, 3-it’s thin so if you’re cutting something small, like 1x1-in pieces of brownie, it will not cause any disruption on the surface appearance the way a wide knife will, 4-it is very sharp to cut cleanly through anything, 5- the grip is ergonomic, 6- the indentations allow for a release of wetter items, 7-did I say the price is outstanding? & 8- I love the symbol on the end of the grip that shows when it sits in my butcher’s block. I own a set of expensive German knives but was looking for something subtly different for cutting the many cakes I make. This checks all the boxes for me and I highly recommend it!

Is nice the blade is sharp so you can slice the meats nicely, I use the knife most of the time to remove the skin from the Tuna, portion salmon and remove the fat from meats like NY Steak or Prime Rib The blade is long enough light and sharp
