Chef Knife - Perfect Kitchen Knive for Cooking, Chopping. Japanese Steel Knife for Home, BBQ. For Balance & Control, 6.3 Inch

This is a cool little thing. It looks like the renaissance fairs but doesn’t only have a pretty face. It is durable ,very sharp, and a good value for the money. Fits the hand nicely and it cuts and serves food turn it to the side and it serves like a pancake flipper. Works great with lasagna. It seems to be durable.

I have seen many commercials for this and bought to see if hype is real. I have to say it is no hype in fact this is by far the sharpest knife ever used. I think it should come with a warning that says it is true what we say about this knife and it's sharpness do not treat this knife like your dull knifes or you will get cut. This is what happened to me and now know this is a very sharp knife. Before I cut myself I cut tomatos and there was no pressing down just a very easy cut. Great product but heed the above warning.

I bought this Matsato chef knife for about $29. First of all the knife is made in China even though much of the statements mention Japanese steel methods. The actual steel grade is not mentioned but since it is magnetic and not dishwasher safe my guess is a 400 series stainless steel which is common for cutlery. Many reviews either say the knife is very sharp or very dull out of the box. That's subjective. I have experience with knife sharpening and can tell you mine was sharp enough. It had some pull. I ran it on an Arkansas stone as a matter of routine for me and the edge got super sharp. That thin slicing tomato crap is non-existent on any knife so that is not a good measure at all. A tomato needs a serrated blade. Period. As with most Stainless steel knives the sharpness will soon disappear. That's why chefs use a hone or steel so often. It has a full tang thru the handle. The rivets and wood are tight to the tang. No wobble. The wood handle is symmetric on both sides. The balance is fair with it being slightly heavier on the handle end. No biggie. All in All this knife is an outstanding value, well made and I recommend it.

This is a great knife! So sharp - even chopping onions is fun now! But be careful - it IS sharp! I suggest that you treat the handle with mineral oil though... otherwise, LOVE THIS!!! Just don't drop it on your foot:-)

Works as advertised. Came very sharp.Great price especially for a knife that is made with carbon. Very nice qualityThe price is very good.Highly recommend.The shape lets you roll the knifeGreat for chopping and dicing and it actually does cut a tomato as thin as you want.

This Matsato chef knife exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I held it, I could tell it was built with quality and precision. The balance is perfect, making it feel natural and easy to handle whether I'm slicing vegetables, chopping meat, or prepping for a BBQ.The blade is incredibly sharp and cuts through everything effortlessly. I love the hammered finish—it not only adds a stunning, rustic look but also helps reduce food from sticking. The wooden handle is smooth, ergonomic, and gives a solid grip even during longer cooking sessions.This knife has quickly become my go-to for all my cooking needs, and I honestly look forward to using it every day. Highly recommended for home chefs and pros alike!

I expected the knife to show up razor sharp like it shows in the commercial. I was disappointed with how dull it was when received. I am not great at sharpening knifes, but I have it pretty sharp now. Hopefully it will hold an edge. I doubt that I will ever be able to sharpen it like the commercial shows. I am sure that other people could.

Knife is more than I expected. Super sharp and always the right tool for the task
