RASSEJapanese Chef Knife Gyuto - 8 Inch Professional Hand Forged Kitchen Knife High Carbon AUS-8 Stainless Steel With Rosewood Handle & Gift Box

Just bought 2 knives from here. They look fantastic and feel fantastic in my hands. Can't wait to try them out when cooking. The blades are sharp and finish on the knives are excellent. Hopefully last a lifetime. Good investment

Pros: Weighty, sturdy knife which looks great and does its job. I imagine edge retention will be totally fine for a home cook. Wouldn’t use professionally. But, for the price it’s a great buy. Just keep an eye on the price because it jumps around and I page £5 more than if I’d waited 1 week.Cons: It’s a very thick blade. Some love this, some hate this. It’s one of the reasons you should try to have many different knives and why you see chef’s have several different of the same styles of knives.

This is a good knife. Nice hefty weight, handle is comfortable to grip, blade is richly decorative and very sharp. It feels balanced in the hand, and professional. My only reservation is that I would have liked it to have been made in Japan, in keeping with the origin of its design, not China. That said, it was reasonably priced. An authentic Japanese version would probably have been a lot more expensive.

This knife exceeded my expectations. It’s extremely sharp, feels sturdy, and is comfortable to use. It cuts through everything effortlessly, from veggies to meat. Great quality for the price—highly recommend!

Not a knife pro but feels very good in hand. a bit heavier than my other knives (IKEA ones) but feels more robust and very sharp out the box.

Excellent quality,super sharp cuts veggies easily.

The balance of the knife is great, which is helpful with it's sharpness.Nice wood handle.

Really impressed with this knife. It's incredibly sharp out of the box, looks great, and has a nice weight. The rosewood handle feels fantastic. Highly recommend!
