Yarenh Kitchen Knife Professional - Santoku Knife 7 inch - High Carbon Japanese Damascus Steel Blade & Dalbergia Wood Handle,Gift Box Packaging,Sharp Chef Knives - KTF Series

I have had several German (Wusthof, Henckels) and American (Buck) knives and although they would take a good edge, they dulled quickly. I was told that a Japanese forged knife would hold its edge longer, and I ordered this knife because it was said to be Chinese-made but using Japanese steel.Right out of the attractive gift-box I was very impressed with it. I was originally leery of the idea of a wooden handle, but this one makes for a very comfortable grip on a well-balanced knife. In fact the knife is just a pleasure to use.The edge was very sharp, literally razor sharp, in its original condition and has held up well. A few passes with a 3000 grit wet stone renews it almost to that edge, and I'm sure if I bothered to strop the blade it would be back to its factory sharpness in no time.I had been looking at santoku knives priced two or three times the price of this one, and I don't think they would be appreciably more functionally satisfying than this one. At this price you cannot go wrong.

My husband loves to cook and this was a huge hit to add to his collection of knives. He said it has great weight and balance and arrived super sharp.

Beautiful handle, perfect cuts every time.

Il tranche a merveille. Si vous êtes habitué avec des couteau très très ordinaire, son coupant vous surprendra.
