Damascus Chef Knife 8", Sharp Kitchen Knife with Olive Wood Handle | Professional Japanese Cooking Knife | 67 Layers 10Cr15CoMoV Steel | 62 HRC | 15° Edge | Ergonomic Olive Handle | Gift Box

To begin with the blade came in nice and sharp and has for 3 months held its edge insanely well. As expected of VG-10. Its been about 3 months since I started using it almost daily and I can feel the edge starting to dull A LITTLE on the Chef Knife in specific but it still definitely has multiple months until I need to resharpen. I have their other paring knife that I use everyday and its edge has held perfectly more than this one but of course I don't do any chopping with the paring knife so that should be considered. I do however do quite a bit of chopping with their Nakiri and that knifes edge has held perfectly so I'm inclined to believe maybe the burr wasn't fully removed from the chef knife and that's why it's edge retention has declined more than my other knives from this brand but otherwise this knife is amazing especially for the price. An easy fix to remove the burr properly so its no big deal!

bought these for my wife, she LOVES them, I am a bit of a knife snob. I don't care about how much I spent, I just want good quality metal, at a great price. this knife, and its Japanese style chef's knife work great! thin blade slices so smoothly, my wife uses them instead of her slicer for vegetables, and such. I do wish the shank went all the way through the handle. However at this price I will just buy again when these fail.

Very sharp and seems to be holding its edge

Well made but it's not the same as a Japanese knife. Still a good product for the money.

Bought for my adult son, he loves it. Super sharp.

All my knives are Japanese knives.. I bought this knife out of curiosity as the specs and price are excellent. The blade the thin which makes it great for slicing. If I need to go through bone the I haul out a heavier knife.

Better than the knifes we bought from William Sonoma…sharper, great value, good balance. Highly recommend

This is hard steel. It is effective for many demanding uses. Being hard, it makes short. work of big raw onions and carrots. But it also had the extra sharpness to handle delicate, thin cutting of raw meats and fish. Also effective on close work mincing of garlic and ginger. I use an 8000 grit water stone to maintain top sharpness after heavy duty. Other than that I just give it a good stropping with a diamond honing fluid. A blade like this deserves some extra close attention to keep it in peak condition. You do not want to let steel this hard go dull when a light but regular touch up works so well. Its medium size makes it the knife I reach for first for most tasks. Although it can perform on both big and small size tasks. The handle is comfortable and requires but occasional oiling to keep up.

it is exactly what is advertised, also came very sharp. i bought this to replace my shun classic and what can i say... pretty similar

Acabado perfecto y muy afilado. Muy satisfecho con el producto.

Surprisingly good for a cheap knife.

They both quite nice.. very sharp and no flaws. I will eventually buy the whole set.

Mam go ponad rok, niezwykle ostry i dlugo utrzymujacy ostrosc noz, w codziennej pracy w kuchni przy miesach i krojeniu na ultracienkie plaserki np czosnek, pomidory. Bardzo wysoko oceniam, jakość wykonania rękojeść, latwy w utrzymaniu czystości. Mam tylko obawę, komu powierzyć naostrzenie go gdy przyjdzie ta chwila ? Moja ocena bardzo dobry nóż !
