MITSUMOTO SAKARI Japanese Chef Knife, 8 inch Professional Hand Forged Cooking Knife, AUS-10 Premium Damascus Steel Kitchen Sashimi Knife (Shadowwood Pomegranate Handle & Sandalwood Box)

Amazing knife needed a sharpen when I got it but it was far from blunt I just love keeping my knifes extremely sharp and the edge has held beautifully would highly recommend for anyone who works in a professional kitchen or just loves having high quality utensils couldn't recommend enough

Splendid knife. Great craftsmanship. A knife for most tasks completed with ease. Hard to find a better knife. I'm a chef for 27 years so know the value of a great knife for tasks in the kitchen. No hesitation it will last forever with the right care. Sharp is an understatement .Very happy with my investment.

Light weight, good comfort and good balance. The blade has good finishing and is great for professional work. Yes, it's made in china by using Japanese steel and craftsmanship, but either way, I am happy with my purchase. If you're a chef and looking for a semi decent knife, this one is the way to go. But if you want something with more weight, Global is the best choice.

Beautiful work of art. I love the special handle with the blend of shadow wood garnet and natural resins. It really does look like a star! the balance is brilliant and you have full control over the blade. Incredibly sharp and glides through food like water so you have full control as it is only 180 grams. The Gyuto shape is amazing and It is a mind blowing fact that it weighs lighter than my mobile phone. I love the Damascus hand folding method which gives a waves effect on the blade. It feels amazing in my palm with a starry handle and a wavy blade. Amazing work of art!

Decent quality damascus, not laser printed as two others i bought in the past.

The knife is amazing quality and extremely sharp. Genuinely feels as if when cutting and chopping up food its like cutting through butter.

Disgustingly terrible quality! Its not even damascus steel! Its engraved pattern. The handle is a piece of plastic rubbish. Feels cheap and flimsy. Unbelievable. I would give 0 stars if I could

A very pretty, very sharp knife.

Fue para regalar (aunque mi madre decía que daba mala suerte regalar cuchillos... total, era para el cuñado jeje). Según la opinión del susodicho, va muy bien. Aunque yo no soy fan de estos mangos tan cuadrados. Me van mejor los de tipo kukri... Qué bien ha hecho Forjado a fuego al mundo!

Il est très léger et équilibré , et c’est très bien , c’est la preuve qu’il est authentique , il me fait pensé aux vrais sabre japonais qui sont très léger pour leur grandeur , à comparaison aux vulgaires imitations qui pèse une tonne ( il faut avoir manipulé un vrais et un faux sabre pour comprendre vraiment ) J’ai effectué le teste de la tomate : qui consiste à coupé une tomate sans la touchée, wow je suis impressionné de voir que ce n’ai pas un mythe finalement , sa marche :) Je déplore l’absence d’un vrais fourreau , cependant il est livré dans une jolie boite , d’ailleurs c’est écrit dans la description, il faut donc le ranger dans sa boîte après chaque utilisation , c’est toutes une procédure , ont peut voir sa comme un art , mais moi j’aurais préféré un fourreau et garder la boîte pour le transport dans le cadre d’un déménagement
