Sold OutCant believe how sharp it is. Sliced my finger the first day because I wasn't used to it being that sharp, totally my fault. But it's a testament to the edge.
Used it to make dinner for the family last night, everyone was commenting on how nice the knife looked. Cuts through everything like butter. Very happy with this purchase.
Bought this for my husband who loves to cook and he hasn't put it down. He says the balance is perfect and the edge is crazy sharp right out of the box. He used it to break down a whole chicken and said it handled the bones around the joints way better than he thought it would. Massive upgrade from our old block set.
Ok so I was a little nervous ordering a knife online but this thing is legit. The pattern on the blade is so cool, looks way more expensive than it is. I've been using it for all my veggie prep and it just glides through everything. Handle feels really solid in my hand too. Came in a nice box, no issues.
It's a decent knife. The pattern is nice and it came sharp. I guess I was expecting to be more wowed for a damascus steel knife? It cuts fine, but it doesn't feel that much different from my other chef's knife that was half the price. Does the job, but I'm not blown away.
Great knife for the price. The damascus finish is beautiful, makes it look like a piece of art. I use it mostly for slicing meats and dicing onions, makes quick work of it. Handle is comfortable for a pinch grip. No complaints at all, it's exactly what I wanted.
Impressed with the quality. Cuts beautifully. My minor gripe is that it's a tad heavier than I expected based on the pictures. Not a dealbreaker, I'm getting used to it, and the heft is actually good for some tasks.
Been using this for a month now, still super sharp. I use it for everything from slicing steaks to chopping herbs. The handle is really comfortable, no hand fatigue even after a big meal prep.
Really nice knife overall. The sharpness is impressive and it feels well made. My only thing is the handle shape, it's a little more oval than I'm used to so it took a day or two to feel totally natural in my hand. But now that I'm used to it, it's fine. Definitely recommend it, especially for this price.
