[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first quality knife purchase and i was not disappointed! I've only used it a handful of times but man the difference is night and day between this and budget knives. Plus the damascus pattern is beautiful. I'm looking forward to having this for years to come!
I have never owned any expensive knives so this was my 1st knife to see how expensive knives change the cooking experience. I was not disapointed. This knife was sharp and felt good in my hand cutting vegtables for salads.
This gorgeous Kaizen II knife is a little larger than a paring knife yet smaller than a standard utility knife making it equally perfect for small cutting tasks like small fruits and peeling as well as slightly larger ones like carrots and celery. The core is made from FC61 steel and you will immediately feel the difference of that razor sharp edge when using this knife. The damascus pattern is created by adding 48 additional layers of steel. The handle is a traditional Japanese D shaped handle but it has been made large and comfortable for either right or left handed people.
The beautiful damascus blade is incredibly sharp true to its Japanese origin. It's made from FC61, a very durable and chip resistant steel. The D-shaped handle is the feature of Japanese knives for generations. It's made from Micarta which is a a linen and resin mixture. It has the look and feel of wood, but the durability of a synthetic material. A great knive for so many tasks from small fruits and vegetables to slicing meats and cheeses.
