[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first experience with the knife instantly showed it’s value. As someone who has never owned a quality knife before my experience with them is limited. But, this knife requires no experience at all to understand that it is masterly built and it will serve me a life time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been working in kitchens for almost 11 years now. I've never had a knife that was so sharp and so comfortable to use. Such a great buy especially for the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great knife right out of the box. Light and easy to manipulate, very sharp and clean looking. The handle is superb with the classic octagonal design. A fiscally conservative beginner Japanese gyuto for sure!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is top notch with a beautiful inlay on the wood handle. It’s razor sharp out of the box and easy to clean. Looking forward to getting other in the same line.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very please with this chef knife. First time buying and very satisfied. Easy to handle . With beautiful crafmanship. I will highly recommend and buy it again as a gift to my friend.
I have had this knife for about 4 months. I do not use it regularly, and I clean it using hot water soap and a regular sponge. Already the blade has a ton of scratch marks on it. It’s an aesthetic issue, and not the structural one, but I am surprised by how easily it’s been damaged considering the stated quality of the steel. Also, for what it’s worth, the blade design on the edge is more like a watermark, then an actual sign of welding. It looks more “authentic “in the pictures than in real life. Two surprising issues for such an expensive product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is a pleasure to work with. Well balanced and light with a thin blade. So far it holds an edge fairly well and makes short work of slicing and dicing Borge vegetables and meat.
