Seki Magoroku Japanese Sushi Sashimi Knife Yanagi 210mm ST

It has some heft, which I like and want in this type of knife. I bought it primarily to butcher whole chickens, and it does not disappoint. With its sharpness from the box, the knife effortlessly goes through chicken joints and cartilage. It is a great value, priced under fifty dollars, and I highly recommend it. If you purchase it, please be careful. The knife is extremely sharp.

Great small knife. Very well made and sharp!

Bought this a few years ago as a cheap way to get started learning how to cut fish in a Japanese restaurant. Didnt want to spend a lot on a knife while i was still learning how to use a Deba. But i get compliments on this knife in so many restaurants by so many chefs, and theyre shocked how cheap it was from amazon! Weight is great and durable steel that wont chip easily... the only reason its not 5 stars is because it was not delivered with the proper edge. it helps to be experienced sharpening single bevel knives to really get the best from this knife. The Uraoshi (on the concave side of the knife, the top of the knife and the edge) was not level. Took a decent amount of time on a low grit stone to even it out but its durable steel and now it holds an edge pretty well! Great find

It cuts through the fish bones beautifully and allows us to do our own fish cleaning much better than they do at the fish market. Good quality and easy to use

I like the sharpeness and sturdiness of the blade! Just to be careful when using, you can get cut and then is too late.

I have baby monkey hands, so the feel of the grip is a little big for me, but the blade length is perfect for utility kitchen prep and it’s held up all this time later.

very sharp and well built!

Knife is Ok...thick and looks well made...but shipping is very slow...it's about 2 weeks in the US.
