Matsato Kitchen Knife Leather Sheath, Japanese Steel Chef's Knife Holder Perfect for Cutting and Chopping, 6.3 Inch Knives holder

UPDATE TO PREVIOS 3 STAR REVIEW: Originally, I rated the knife at 3 stars. I did get contacted by the seller and they offered me a full refund, so customer service and satisfaction gets 5 stars! As far as the knife after sharpening and playing with it, it's a keeper. They have a special going at the time of my second review, which I could have returned and bought, but too much hassle in my opinion!!! This knife is heavy compared to the other long blade knives I use (there are two long knives I use on a regular basis for chopping along with the two utility knives). I used it for chopping and slicing through things. For chopping, I probably will use my other knives, the motion to do chopping with this knife is different because the blade is curved (not picking on the knife, I have issues with my hands and wrists due to carpel tunnel and arthritis, so the motion to chop with this knife is a bit awkward for me). For heavy duty work, this knife is great. It has bumped to the top for doing the heavy duty work. I tried cutting the husk off of a young coconut, cut through Cartlidge and cut open Lobster shell on the extreme sides successfully. The knife didn't fare too well in cutting ripe/soft/juicy fruits in my opinion, so I'll stick to my utility knives for such tasks. I tried twirling the knife the way they do it in the commercials/ads, but I couldn't do it on my index finger, my pinky seemed to be the right size for the twirling, but I don't have any control when I twirl the knife with my pinky!!!! Overall, I'll give the knife a 4 to a 4.5 grade, their customer puts them closer to 5. OLD REVIEW: Packing is cute; they try to make opening the box feel like opening an iPhone package. I like the handle and the hole in the blade. From the description the knife was supposed to be razor sharp and of course Japanese. The knife is made in China and the blade was dull. I ended up sharpening the blade for couple of minutes to cut a tomato properly. Out of the box, the blade probably couldn’t cut through milk! As far as sharpness out of the box, my Victorinox and cheap Daiso knives were sharp right out of the box. I’ll play with this couple of more weeks and update my review! So far, it’s a meh!

The Masato Chef Knife is a very good product, stylish and with a comfortable grip, it slices,dices and seemingly never needs to be sharpened. Excellent value for the price, comes in a nice box to store it in, just don't lend it to someone, you might not get it back, lol!

Good looking knife nice and sharp. Cuts through meat, pretty good.Looks like it's made of decent steel price was fair the weight is pretty good, not having.That's a good blade

It is a very nice item, made well it's also very Sharpe, it was a girt to someone. The person I gave it to loved it, Thanks, D Lewis

I bought this for my gf's daughter-in-law for Christmas and she gave it an excellent testimonial on sharpness... she sliced her finger drawing blood within the first minute of opening it. The turkey was its next task and it was so sharp, it even cut through the bones like butter. Traditionally, I buy her a certain scent of a high priced Yankee Candle, but switched it up this year. I informed her that she is back to candles next year for the sake of safety! I'm not knowledgeable regarding kitchen knives, but apparently, I did good with this selection. It would have been comical had she not injured herself checking how sharp it was. Hint: It is VERY sharp!

This thing is actually really nice and has stayed sharp for months. It has quickly become our favorite knife and we butcher a lot of meat. It slices through steaks flawlessly and I definitely recommend this particular knife. My friend bought a cheaper version and it’s complete trash.

This knife seems to be good quality and shaped properly to be a very useful utility type kitchen utensil. The handle feels very sturdy and with the hole properly sized and placed should provide heavy cutting pressure done safely. The blade was sharp out of the box but it remains to be seen how it holds its edge. I am pleased with my purchase, thus far, and look forward to some heavy utility work with it in the future.

This will possibly be the last knife you’ll ever need. It’s simply amazing right out of the box. The product does everything it was advertised to do. The look is awesome as is the weight and feel of it. It truly is the sharpest knife I’ve ever owned.

Net de matsato messen binnen gehad en onmiddellijk uitgetest. Ze zijn super scherp, gaan met gemak door kippen beenderen. Gewoon super!

C'est une commande super génial. Coffret tres correct, les couteaux sont super bien dans leurs logement. Question de l'utilisation, tres bonne tenue en main et aiguisage ultra tranchant ( attention les doigts ). Je recommande à 100%.

Ok

La fodera per lo splendido coltello giapponese Matsano per il quale è stato realizzato è strepitosa. Cuoio ben tagliato e rifinito per dar modo di accogliere una lama molto affilata e quindi anche pericolosa sé non riposta in maniera adeguata. Il prezzo lo trovo giusto per un articolo che ha una fattezza artigianale. Ritengo che con il tempo vissuto assumerà anche una colorazione ed una morbidezza che adesso non ha. Raccomandato!

Bel coltello, affilato, comodo e maneggevole
