Do not cut food on hard objects Do not use a dishwasher to clean your knife Do not touch corrosive and hydrochloric acid substances and keep away from fire Hand wash with warm water and towel dry Use a sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness of the blade Review: Decent low cost kitchen knife - This is a Japanese-style made in China gyuto. It says it’s made with Japanese AUS-8 steel, but most likely it’s one of its Chinese equivalents: 8Cr13MoV or 8Cr14MoV, which are decent enough steels for the purpose, if they were heat treated properly. These are stainless steels, but unlike the typical Euro stainless steels, will stain or even rust, if they are not washed and dried promptly. No dishhwasher, the nice tropical hardwood won’t survive that either. It is really well designed, executed and very nice looking. The hammered finish is decorative, it has little to do with food release. The blade is ground slightly convex, which is more inportant for food release. The blade isn’t very thin, so it will wedge a little, but also it is not very thick either. The biggest surprise is that it is really well balanced. It is slightly blade heavy, as it should be for this style, but the balance point is just 1 inch in fornt of the heel, so it feels close to neutral in a pinch grip. The back of the knife and the choil are a little sharp, but can be easily rounded a bit with sandpaper for a more comfortable pinch grip. For a 20-25 $ knife, it is an excellent value, but don’t expect the performance and edge holding of a 100-200$ authentic Japanese knife. It is definitely better than most of the 30-70$ typical chef’s knives you can buy in big box stores or even online. I highly recommend it at this price point, but wouldn’t buy it if it cost more than $30. Despite a review extolling its virtue as a good day-to-day tool in a professional kitchen, it is not optimal for the huge demand and potential abuse in a busy pro environment. This is a knife for a home cook. It has excellent esthetics and decent enough performance. I highly recommend it at this price point.
