Great knife. I've only cut myself with it like 6 times. Works well on food to, not just fingers.

This is a very well made knife, with a sharp edge. There is not much I can say about this knife other than it being just about perfect in my kitchen as well as my campsite. Once you clean it, make sure to remove any moisture from the blade before storing it in its sheath. I prefer carbon steel blades like this one to stainless steel, primarily because carbon steel seems to hold a sharp edge a lot longer. This is an update to y review above, relating to a question another person asked about sharpening this knife. My answer related to what I do after using this knife, and my answer was erroneous since a knife needs sharpening only if the edge is nicked, or damage (for example). But most often all the edge needs is honing, not sharpening. Now, if the edge is damaged, nicked, blunt, etc., then one may have to sharpen it, and then honed.

This is my favorite kitchen knife !. The curved angle, finger hole and weight makes it easier for me to use to cut vegetables quickly, and small. The extreme curved edge is great to use to cut however the technique to use this curved edge has a learning curve of its own. However, once learned is so easy and fun to use. The curved edge make the knife similar to a mezzo luna type blame action as rocking the knife on the cutting board is easy and effective! The blade holds an edge very well when sharpened with diamond sharpening stones. However because of the hardness of the steel, it is difficult to re-sharpen well with standard aluminum oxide abrasive stones. If used with a magnetic wall mounted knife holder the black etched area keeps the sharp edge from being in contact with the steal magnetic edge, this keeps the blame sharper, longer . HOWEVER, this knife is NOT for small hands . It is too heavy and is NOT designed with smaller hands in mind , balence point , curved edges, placement and size of finger hole. The leather sheath makes portability easy . Good camping trip knife and everyday kitchen knife .

I treated myself to a new kitchen knife. I found this one for $29 on Amazon. The brand is HUUSK. As a former meat cutter, I like a razor sharp knife. This one arrived sharp, but not sharp enough for my purposes. So, I got out my 1000 grit wet stone and now she is razor sharp. This is a nice little knife, approx 8 inches long, 4 inch handle and 4 inch blade. It is balanced and feels good in my hands. I'm making Beef Stew today, so this will be great for cutting up the sirloin, onions, taters, and carrots.

Wow! what a knife! I even went back and bought their paring knife.

This is a great addition to the unique knives I own and use daily. I spent a large part of my life working in fine dining kitchens and I've had my fair share of good and bad. Fairly sharp out of the box and got to razor sharpness after some time on my whetstone and leather strop. The finger hole is great on this thing and I will be sharpening up the topside as well to make it double edged. The leather sheath is a nice addition. I'm taking this camping with me for sure. It's a beast! For the price it's a damn good knife. Don't believe the bad reviews. It's possible these people don't know how to sharpen steel well.

No nearly as sharp as advertised. Nice and heavy, but slicing leaves a little to be desired.

Very nice knife! Plan on using it as my new hip knife. Very comfortable to hold and VERY SHARP! They aren't exaggerating at all when they claim how sharp it is! I also like that the hammered steal effect is more realistic looking than the pics they advertise (looks more hammered as less stamped in reality) but the "bluing" does come off very easily, which I guess isn't so bad as it leaves a nice effect in the ridges of the hammered section. I do recommend cleaning the blade very thoroughly and maybe using alcohol to clean the excess "bluing" off of you intent to use it for food purposes though. It seems to be more of a thin paint of some sort rather than actual steal bluing and who knows if that stuffs food safe. Over all though, I like it!

The handle fit to tang is very nice, sheath is really good quality not sure way you need as health for a kitchen knife but very good quality.the edge it came with could have been sharper but a run over the stone should fix that up.

The knife too heavy and can not be used for standard kitchen works It is misleading advertising.

Exactly as advertised. Easy to manuver and cut with this blade, very sharp and good quality.

Great knife. Heavier than I would like but sharp and easy to handle. Japanese design but made in China??

Idéal pour la cuisine
