SENBON 440A stainless steel Ultra sharp pocket folding Chef knife peeling utility knife fruit knife Natural Olive Handle Camping BBQ trip Outdoor Portable kitchen knife

Kinda sharp, tried a 17° first and went to 24° edge worked best for me, then I could slice tomatoes paper thin, fits in my knife block open, good looking handle and blade would buy again!

This seems a well made knife. It was larger than I pictured. If you are in the USA be sure to check with your local laws on blade length restrictions for folding knives for carrying before you put it in your pocket (my current state has no restriction but it is good to check). The wood is lovely and fells light in the hand. It is sharpen well across the full blade. I could not find it in the description, but it is single bevel, which is completely expected for a Japanese knife, but makes it best suited for a right handed person for any lefties looking. I have had practice in sharpening blades such as this to work better for my left hand so I will be getting my stones out.My only trouble was I think this will be my last use of next day shipping for something I actually need next day as it now seems 50/50 if it will come or be delayed. This was delayed so we didn't have it for a camping trip so I had to figure something else out. Still, It's a solid blade so I will keep it for the future.

Just received this item, review is based off first-impressions:TLDR: a fine knife, fit for light carving and prep work. May need some initial tuning to secure handle scales and straighten the blade, but overall I'm pleased with the quality (especially for the price).Knife arrived in a classy box, contained withing a faux-burlap bag (as pictured in product description). The knife as a whole is fairly sizeable, with an appropriate handle to control the size of the blade.The mechanism and lock are as expected - I may not trust them with my life necessarily, but they will keep the knife in place well-enough for the intended labor. Blade is razor-sharp, exceeding my initial expectations for a blade in this price range. Blade tapers to an exceptionally thin primary bevel, with short secondary bevel facilitating the sharp edge. Due to that thin taper, the blade may be slightly warped (will need to get it to the work bench to know for sure). If that's the case, because the blase is 440 stainless steel, I feel would feel comfortable lightly twisting the blade back straight, if necessary.Due to the thin edge and relatively soft steel (stainless vs. high-carbon), plus the liner-lock keeping the blade open, this knife is not well-suited for heavy work / chopping. I would use this for paring (despite the blade shape) and light carving / light prep. For non-kitchen work, use extra caution when handling a blade of this size / sharpness / shape (unconventional for EDC applications). Remember that the thin edge is not suited for heavy work.Handle scales are olive wood, with a fine finish to keep the wood sealed. One of the scales on my knife was loose, and showed evidence of being patched with a shim to mitigate the effect of the poor fit (pictured). Scale still shifts near the top (by the top of the scale), which I'm hoping will be solved by either tightening the star-screw and / or a dab of glue.Overall, this is a good product, which I will be happy to utilize in my kitchen. My only complaints are the one poorly-fitted scale and the slight warping of the blade, which are both fixable. All things considered, this is an excellent product, and I would have been happy to receive this as a gift. Consider this for any chef in your life, especially if they like knives.

The media could not be loaded. I love knives, and I love to cook. I wanted some excellent kitchen knives to travel with so I can cook with my preferred set. I looked through so many and chose these after sitting in my cart for some time. I LOVE these knives. They are a good zie, I have very small hands and these are easy for me to use, but husband's has are much larger and he found them comfortable to use for chopping. These knives have a heavy wood handle, gives excellent grip, and extremely sharp. I mean really sharp. even whipping the blade to clean off the chopped garlic with my finger I slightly cut myself. They do clean easily and I leave them open to dry before closing the blade. Just be really careful with them, they are ninja sharp .

A little heavy for travel but worth having around for all around cutting need. Been having issues with a travel knife for cutting up fruits and food while traveling without rusting up or requires sharpening much. This fits the bill for an affordable price. Very sharp out of the box. Only issue is it's heavy! Wished it was a bit lighter but then again, it works really well so far.

This is a comprehensive set of knives for your camp kitchen, and easy to take just one backpacking with the included burlap bag for each knife. They feel great in the hand and look quite beautiful. The folding cutting board even has a garlic grater built in. There is room for a whetstone. Even the box it came in is reusable if you take out the insert. It is sturdy, with a magnetic close, and attractive enough to store things. I currently have a collection of whetstones stored inside. I highly recommend this set.

Great little knife. I purchased it for keeping it in with my camping gear it stayed in my truck and I forgot about and one day I needed to cut up some avocado's and grabbed it out of the truck and so far I've been using it on the regular at work it's very handy if you need to cut up some jalapenos or anything else. It comes with a decent pouch to keep dust or dirty off of it and the quality very good and pretty sharp out of the box. Definitely going to buy another one.
