Kitory Damascus Chef Knife 8 Inch - Japanese VG10 Super Steel 67 Layers Blade, Professional Japan Knife For Kitchen Cooking, 2024 Gifts For Women and Men

Apologies. I don’t have time to do a full review. So I will be concise.Amazon recommended this as a less expensive alternative to another knife that I was looking at.It had hundreds of positive reviews - so I bought it -on sale at around $79.It came in a nice box- wrapped nicely - with 2 small covers.Surprisingly- and to my shock! - I cut myself on the first use! It is like a razor- it took a solid second for the blood to appear.Once bitten - twice shy. But I bandaged up and continued testing it.Worth every bloody cent! (Pun intended).It slices through meat EFFORTLESSLY- actually with pleasure. My previous knives did okay crusting stewing beef - this one does it like butter.Veggies are a wiz.Frozen ribs was a test- my wife had reservations - and semi- thawed the ribs- and had no issue.I have done frozen meat with a small degree of difficulty- but if I pushed harder - I believe the knife is up to the task. But I didn’t want to - and slightly thawed is best I believe.The knife is an emerald green and the blade has a nice “patina” to it.It’s grip is “standard” and acceptable- no issues- but higher end knifes - these days- are being engineered with modern ergonomic grips.Otherwise it feels comfortable.I rate this as one of my best knives - the steel is high grade and as stated a composition of strong iron and steel fired.This is a great knife and good value.

Nice weight. This thing will chop.

Our house cleaner loved the matching Nakari I bought for myself but was looking for a larger knife. She was absolutely thrilled when I gave her the Kiritisuke for Christmas. Tried to buy one for myself but the coupon was no longer available so I bought a more expensive one with SG2 blade elsewhere. We both highly recommend the Kitory Damascus series on knives.

Comes in a nice box that states proudly made in China. Quality control was poor on this knife, the brass ring is not flush with the handle. Required file work and blade was dull but sharpened nicely

Re: Japanese utility knife - 6 inch - 9CR18MOV high carbon steel Kitchen Utility KnifeI bought it on sale, LOVE this knife, its a perfect size, very comfortable, beautiful and cuts incredible. So happy with this knife that bought a second one and recommended to a friend. Love the wood handle. It cuts through a tomato by itself without putting pressure. Highly recommend.

Came very sharp,clean, quality shows that this is well made .

I know this is not a super high-end cleaver, but I bought it specifically to chop through frozen chicken necks (for my dogs) and it serves its purpose. Believe me, this thing can hack through anything. I took two stars off because this cleaver does not come with a sheath to protect store it and help keep the knife sharp. It’s an odd size and has proven difficult to find a sheath that will fit. I wish the company would at least offer something to purchase if they can include a pricier storage holder; it only came in a piece of cardboard, so that’s not appropriate for storing.

Es muy 👍
