FINDKING Kitchen Utility Knife, 5 Inch Japanese Paring Knife, Small Fruit Knife with 9Cr18MoV High Carbon Steel Blade, Rosewood Octagonal Handle, for Fruits and Vegetables, Dynasty Series

This knife not only looks phenomenal, but cuts even better. It has held its edge, and only requires a couple of passes every few times of use. The grip isn’t slippery, even when cutting bigger pieces of meat and getting greasy. It performs(cuts) through brisket, roast, turkey with ease and still stays sharp. I would buy this knife ten times over.

The knife is super sharp but it break easily near the handle because it becomes very thin and unfortunately thats what happened with my knife after few days of receiving it

Replacing all of my j Ives with the findking set. So good and sharp. Careful. I cut myself on this knife while washing it.

I bought this chef knife for mainly four reasons: 1) Findking advertises the steel they use 2) Looks great (especially the handle) 3) Comes with a leather sheath 4) Quality and materials Unlike other Chinese-made Serbian chef knives, Findking actually advertises a 9cr18mov steel, (others just say "high carbon steel") which is a premium Chinese stainless steel. Basic care like washing and drying and the occasional sharpening is all that's required. Oiling is not necessary. I received this knife, and the quality is excellent from the blade to the handle. It of course came sharp and made quick work of vegetables. The dimpling on the top half of the blade is not just aesthetic but makes it so things don't stick to it when cutting. The wooden handle has a nice finish and is easy to grip. This knife is hefty so keep that in mind. The way to grip this knife is the same you would do with a Chinese cleaver - the index and thumb pinching the steel and the rest of your fingers and palm wrapping around the handle. Also, the leather sheath is thick and is stiff which should break in over time.

I recently purchased this and it's bigger brother (the 9" Kiritsuke) and am very impressed with these wonderful blades. I have always wanted a Shun or Yoshihiro VG10 Steel Gyuto style Japanese knife for my kitchen, but my lifestyle had never lent an environment where I felt I could own a multi-hundred dollar kitchen knife and expect it to be all it was meant to be without getting destroyed by misuse, lack of proper care and cleaning, and a potential for it to just go missing one-day. Now, I'm entering a time in my life where I COULD do that, however, I wanted to crawl before I walk before I run. I'm certain this $30 utility knife nor its $57 bigger brother would not hold it's own against one of the previously mentioned knives or anything else offered by those knife makers. That said, I am not a Chef and I do not have to depend on these knives in order to make my living. I do, however, enjoy cooking and when my prep time is reduced by having a sharp blade that can make the work quicker and more enjoyable, it seems the food is better, the mood is better, and everyone is satisfied. I take pride in having sharp knives and my past experiences with even higher-end German cutlery was that of constant maintenance. I had my whetstones out every 6 months, it seems, and was always running the blades across a steele to get that edge to liven up after only a few uses. These blades have not enjoyed as much use as my prior knives because I'm not currently cooking as often as I once did, but I have noticed that they were sharp enough for most people's standards right out of the box. I used them once, enjoyed the experience, but wanted to see how much more I could get out of them. I got out my whetstones and went to work on them. A 300 grit to fine tune the shape and define my edge angle, followed by a 1,000 grit to refine the edge a bit, then a 6,000 grit to remove any stray burs and give a slight polish, then a 12,000 grit to truly polish the edges. These knives are sharp. I've used them quite a bit on a mixture of bamboo and plastic cutting boards for a mixture of fruits, veggies, and meats, and have not had to hone or re-polish the edges since. They're holding an edge perfectly and continue to make me smile while working on prepping for my meals. Did I mention they look cool? The black looks painted on, but it doesn't affect the performance and since I hand wash these, it's not like the high-heat of a dishwasher is testing the durability of the paint (if it is paint). The texture helps with food releasing from the blade, so I like having that too. The octagonal shaped handle is great, not slippery - even with wet hands. Looking for entry level Japanese inspired kitchen knives made of hard steel (not soft German steel)? Look no further. Buy the whole set. That's my next move.

So I wanted to wait a month before writing anything so as to see how these knives turned out after having them for a month, and I must say, they've proven to be really well built. Due to them being carbon steel instead of stainless steel, they cannot be left in water and should be washed and dried shortly after use. After using them on and off over the last month, they've remained sharp and has not shown any signs of rust or damage. So because of these, I will suggest these knives to anyone wanting good solid cutlery for your kitchen for a solid price and have knives that, as long as they're taken care of, will last for a while.

I am very satisfied with the knife. I am a professional cook for more than 10 years and I own a pretty big collection of knifes ranging from 10euro to around 400euro. It definitely is a hard steel compared to cheaper once and thus needs to be honed and sharpened less often. The balance point is right at the gripping joint between the thumb and the pointer finger which makes it weight light and comfortable when cutting. I own 1 more hand forged knife with almost the same pattern and 3 times the price but it is more bulky and weights more. I prefer the findking over the more expensive one due to that weight comparison. I am not going into more details here but overall is a very good knife and for the price I would recommend it. As for rust i never had any problem what so ever even with my high carbon knifes, as long as you treat them properly and clean them dry will go for many years. Purchase recommendation for price/ performance.
