HOSHANHO Kitchen Knife in Japanese High Carbon Steel, Professional High-Class Chef's Knife 8 inch, Non-slip Ultra Sharp Cooking Knives with Ergonomic Handle

I am a knife nut. This piece is very well made. The handle fits in my small to medium hand as if it were born there. Balance? Oh yes! This knife has great balance. Its blade is chef-sharp and solid. I have successfully sliced raw beef, turkey breast, chicken, and pork for jerky; as well as fine veggie prep for sushi. What a pleasure to work with. Cleaning is easy, but please, do show it the respect it deserves by never putting it in a dishwasher. In fact, no bladed kitchen tool should ever go in the dishwasher, including a vegetable peeler. I carefully wash the knife in soapy water and dry it with a soft absorbent cloth. It is then stored with on my knife magnet alongside of its "siblings" where it will stand at attention until summoned for the next culinary assignment. I purchased this knife at a slight discount, yet after working with it multiple times, I would not bat an eye over its regular price. Great value for the money!

This is a REAL Chef knife! I love this knife for cutting potatoes, Avocados. I can't wait to use it on Butternut Squash. This Super sharp so don't be distracted when cutting anything. It's not heavy & I'm 64 & I love to cook. Cleans up easy soap & water. The quality is perfect!. Great size for cutting larger items. The grip on handle is very good & well balanced. It's really easy to use. A great addition to my knife kitchen collection. Functions as a knife Be careful. Great Value for what I paid. I love it & you will too. Oh yeah cutting onions is a breeze with this.

Excellent knife -- and I have had French Chef knives for more than 50 years and this one is top end for handling and especially for sharpness. The 13 degree knife edge is incredibly sharp and goes through onions without crushing the juice out, so no crying. Also slices tomatoes so thin you can see through them! Easy clean up and unlike my old carbon steel knives, which are also razor sharp, this one doesn't appear to be troubled by cutting high acid foods. The "pinch grip" is my long-standing way to use these knives because it gives you excellent blade control and the handle and blade design work great for that. All in all, especially for the price, these are great knives to anyone who regularly uses a French chef knife. Only word of caution -- they really, really are sharp, so sharp if you use the blade to lift veggies off the cutting board, you have to be careful not to cut the board!

TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. I am chef in a very busy kitchen and I have a knife in my hand at least 6 hours a day non-stop.... I was needing to replace my work horse knife but really not ready to spend $200 for a new one. I looked on Amazon and read the reviews on this knife and it was at a discounted price so I said okay I'll give it a try... I buy really expensive knives and I can tell you that I don't think any of them are better than this one. This thing comes sharp I actually cut myself twice the first day using it (this is actually a good omen with a new knife). This knife is extremely comfortable in your hand, which was what I was looking for, and it slices through vegetables, meat like a razor blade. The quality feels amazing, it is super balanced not heavy but not light either. I am sold on this and will buy other knives from this brand should it stay sharp and hold up. I will update later to let you know how that goes. BUY IT! I LOVE IT!

Beautifully crafted, the handle is beautiful and fits in my hand comfortably. The blade is very sharp! such a difference cutting veggies compared to my old dull knife. Great value. I looked at other Japanese knives selling for 3X's the price.

Chef of 25 years in high end kitchens and hotels. Usually use knives that are easily 150$ plus. Bought this knife for fun and it was half price . It’s a fantastic tool. Very sharp . Decent balance. Not sure if it’s gonna have a long life, but it’s awesome for the price .

I am a bit of a knife nerd and i had doubts but wow! I was blown away by the quality and out of the box sharpness of this knife, it will pop hairs off your arm. It has the burr perfectly removed on both sides of the blade. Perfect size and fit in my hand, and the blade is very well balanced. Highly recommend for the price.

Nicely packaged upon arrival. Beautifully designed, comfortable in my hand for chopping. Been looking, reading reviews found this one promising. Love a good knife. "Now that's a knife" I'm not being paid to leave a review hope this helps making a decision to purchase. Oh! Great price when I purchased it.

➡️Lo primero que quiero puntualizar es la presentación del mismo, en su cajita con sus instrucciones de fabricación y mantenimiento. 🔹️Tiene unas cachas perfectamente integradas en la hoja, es mi primer cuchillo de estos precios y que bien fabricado esta. 🔸️Me ha ido bien cortando verdura como carne, no lo he probado con pescado, pero me imagino que irá igual de bien. 🔹️Tienda una hoja bien afilada que casi sin esfuerzo corta perfectamente, la verdura es una pasada como la corta. 🔸️No es muy pesado o no me lo parece a mi y con este tipo de cuchillos en la cocina es todo más fácil.

i bought this knife on sale,i did not have much expectation over its quality given its price, but ive been pleasantly surprised, its a great knife, easy to hold, good grip and i sharpen it regularly with a horl-type sharpener and it holds an edge pretty well, i use it daily, not sure id buy it at reguar price but keep an eye on a sale ,id buy another one once its on sale

I bought this knife as i needed one just for fruits and vegetables. It has good ‘weight’ and the design of the handle is ergonomic so it feels comfortable. The blade is also the right size for me. Am happy with my purchase.

Ongelofelijke kwaliteit. Je ziet heel mooi dat dit met de hand geslepen is door de minieme onregelmatigheden. Dat maakt het zo mooi. Lekker dun en mega scherp. Is onmiddellijk terug scherp geslepen als je weet wat je doet.

Excellent purchase , well balanced sharp blade that cuts with ease .
