HOSHANHO Fillet Knife 7 Inch, Damascus Steel Boning Knife, Professional Fish Fillet Knife for Meat Chicken Cutting, Meat Knife with G10 Ergonomic Handle

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my uncle this last year and he loved it. Very excited to receive it, looks great, it's sharp, handle is great, all around a great looking/feeling for the money. He's said it's been great to use when he's out fishing and

This knife has quickly become one of the most used in my kitchen. It’s perfect for detailed prep work like fish, deboning chicken, trimming fat, and slicing delicate cuts of meat. The blade is razor sharp and holds its edge beautifully. It has just the right amount of flex for getting close to the bone, but still enough stiffness to power through tougher spots. The curved profile makes it easy to make clean, controlled cuts without tearing or sawing. The Damascus steel is not only functional but also visually stunning. The craftsmanship is obvious the moment you pick it up—well-balanced, comfortable in hand, and just feels like a serious piece of culinary equipment. If you’re looking for a high-quality, all-around knife for fish, poultry, and meat prep, this one delivers on every level. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a tool that’s as beautiful as it is capable.

Knife was beautifully crafted and has a good edge and seems to be made of good material

Haven’t used this knife yet… looks and feels very high quality

"And the fine print taketh away." Had to give this knife "four stars," because the value was amazing (56% off from regular retail price); the blade is perfectly-shaped, razor sharp out-of-the-box, and made of super-attractive Damascus steel; and the execution of the handle (G10 polymer-impregnated glass fiber) is perfect -- good hand-fit, many thin layers, each discernable and with no visible imperfections. Considering the foregoing, why no "five-star" rating? Two reasons. 1) I discovered this is NOT, as I assumed, manufactured in Japan, home of San Mei excellence. The tags and packaging reveal that it's made in CHINA; 2) This knife, despite its beautiful, durable G-10 handle, is NOT suitable for use on a boat or dock. The G10 material makes the handle overly-heavy in comparison to the blade (so that it's likely to tip and fall out of any standard 7" filleting-knife sheath, and so that it does not balance properly for use in the "real world.") If you don't mind a "handle-heavy" filleting knife made in China, and if you're buying one for use in your home (where weight and balance are less of an issue) then you can probably disregard the "hits" I have documented here -- still a great knife, with excellent fit and finish, and made with top quality materials!

Beautiful! Got as a gift! Really sharp!

Awesome razor sharp knife… no kidding, it actually worked shaving. The blade is stiffer than I like for filleting fish, other than that, I couldn’t ask for a better fillet knife.

Great set. Well made and attractive finish.
