Sold OutBought this for my husband who loves to cook and he hasn't put it down. He says it's a massive upgrade from the old block set we had, the balance is perfect. He used it to break down a whole chicken and said it went through the joints like butter. The handle feels really solid in your hand. For the price I think it's a fantastic knife.
It's fine. I've used it for a couple weeks now. The edge is good but it didn't stay razor sharp as long as I hoped. It's a good looking knife and it cuts well, but I'm not blown away. It gets the job done.
It's a nice knife. The damascus steel looks cool and it's sharp. But I guess I was expecting to be more impressed? I have a cheaper santoku that performs just as well for most of my daily tasks. The handle is a bit more square than I'm used to, took a few days to get comfortable with it. It's fine, just not the life-changing experience some reviews made it out to be.
