Chef Knife, Japanese Pro 8 Inch Kitchen Knife, High Carbon Stainless Steel with Damascus Pattern, Ergonomic Acacia Wood Knife Handle, Super Sharp Chef's Knives with Gift Box

I bought this for my husband as a birthday gift! He loves it. It is now his favorite knife. Very sturdy. Good balance and weight to it.

Using as a daily knife in a restaurant kitchen. Holds its edge and real lightweight. Cuts smooth too!!

My husband love the knife . I got it for his birthday.

To small not as expected.

This is a very nice chef knife. I brought it to work where I work in a kitchen so this thing sees a lot of abuse. So far it's holding up amazingly. It is an etched pattern, not actually Damascus so don't be mislead but this is still a quality blade. The edge does ware down a bit more quickly than other blades i use but it is super easy to re hone and it takes an edge super well. The handle is shaped nice and the weight distribution is good. Over all this is a really solid knife. Happy with it's functionality so far.

Great knife, feels good in the hand, sharp. Can’t beat it for the price.

Comfort

First off, the good of the knife. I like the handle; it has a good feel and look. Out of the box, it comes sharp and cuts very well. The box it comes in is not bad. The knife has ok balance, but not perfect.On to the downsides, I'll break it down by the title of the knife.Japanese - this is definitely not Japanese (made in China) or come close to a good Japanese knife (this is nowhere near the quality of my Japanese Mac Pro knives)Pro - this is definitely not a professional quality knife.High Carbon Stainless Steel - this is not a thing. A knife is either high carbon (holds an edge great but stains) OR stainless (resists stains but doesn't last or hold an edge for long)with Damascus Pattern - definitely not Damascus OR look anything like Damascus (this is one of the worse fake Damascus looks I have seen). I can't tell if it is just laser etched or if there is a coating as well to give the look. This would have been MUCH better off to leave the pattern off as it looks fake / cheesy.Looking a bit more into the specs, it is 7cr17mov which is a budget Chinese stainless steel. I expect the initial sharp edge to not last long. The sharpening occurs on the last mm or two of the blade and is noticeable. This is a moderately hard steel, so it shouldn't be overly difficult to resharpen. It does have good stainless properties to prevent corrosion.
