8'' Japan Kiritsuke Chef Knife - Sharp Kitchen Knife for Meat Cutting, Japanese High-Carbon Steel Cooking Knife, Vegetable Knife, Gift for Mom or Dad, Kitchen Gadgets with Premium Gift Box

Initial cutting was very impressive. The steel feels and sounds right and the edge might even be a convex grind which is very exciting for me. Very good appearance despite the more modern style logo being a compromise in what I was looking for. Spine of blade is not super refined but not really uncomfortable for cutting with pinch grip. Blade looks well set into the handle with no highly visible gaps between the steel and wood. The inlay is a real metal inlay. I plan to lightly sand the ends of the handle just so the corners at the top and bottom are slightly more smoothed out. I had thought that somewhere in the description it referred to it as a carbon steel blade when I ordered. As of yet its acting like it is stainless which is almost disappointing for me but only for my niche tastes. The price very good for the overall design, look, and performance offered.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is a beast! It's multi-functional, so you're getting a workhorse that can slice, dice, chop, you name it. The handmade forging is a real highlight. That clamshell edge? It's not just for looks. It's super sharp, durable, and gives you amazing control. Plus, it's made from high-carbon steel, which means it's tough and holds an edge. Don't worry about those oil marks when you get it, that's just to prevent rust.It feels great in the hand, and it's got a sleek design that'll look good in any kitchen. And it comes in a nice gift box, so it’s perfect for birthdays or holidays. Honestly, for the quality and versatility, this knife is a steal.

I am a Merchant Mariner so sharp knifes are important to me. This knife is super sharp, looks good, feels nice in the hand. It has to dried very well after hand washing as well oiled or it will develop rust spots. As well don't scrub with anything abrasive at all , the black slag (blackened) color it's even real it will wash right off. It's is a good value
