KitoryChef Knife - 8 Inch Gyuto Chef Knife - Full Tang Pro Chef's Knife - Forged German High Carbon Steel - Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle-Gift Box - Metadrop Series

Quality Product

I really like this knife, it is a pleasure to use. It's very well made, looks good, and is very sharp. It's got quite a long blade but the shape of the cut out of the blade above the handle means you can get your hand right up to the blade for more delicate work, so it works like a shorter knife when needed. It's a very useful intermediate size knife, good for lots of tasks. I mainly use it for cutting for cutting vegetables. Recommend.

Very sharp knife. Comfortable to hold. High quality.

It’s really sharp and easy to handle

This is a really nice, well balanced, multi-purpose checks knife that initially may feel a little strange, but once you get used to it, this style of knife will soon become a favourite.The blade edge and depth of blade make this feel to me almost like a cross between a knife and a shallow cleaver. There's little 'roll' to the blade when using it - it's there, but not too pronounced. It has a lot of the benefits of a cleaver too - the wider blade can help lift food and crush things like garlic cloves more easily.The blade is very sharp indeed, the indentations on the blade effectively help things not stick to the blade when cutting - which is a great feature.The handle is comfortable. The full tang makes it sturdy and well balanced; the bolster is pronounced - making it feel pretty safe in the hand.This is the kind of knife that I'd choose, if I only could have one knife that would do everything. It's also a really good price and feels like it'll last for many years to come.

The media could not be loaded. The Kitory MTD06 8 inch chef knife comes in a beautiful presentation box and would make an ideal gift. Sliding off the paper sleeve and opening the box reveals a hard foam lining that prevents the knife moving during storage. There are a couple of plastic guards on the corners of the blade as well as a foam pad in the lid to ensure safe transport and a small packet of silica gel to help reduce moisture.The knife has a high carbon stainless steel blade and weighs 178g. The handle is extremely comfortable in the hand and has inset smooth black wooden inlays - the finish is high quality and feels nicely balanced with plenty of distance between thumb and blade. The stainless steel continues through the handle and extends to the end plate, thus protecting the softer handle materials.The blade is extremely sharp and it goes without saying you have to take considerable care using and cleaning this knife. However that sharp blade means it cuts safely through vegetables with ease, requiring only the slighest pressure. I haven't had chance to try it on meat yet but I would confidently say this knife would an excellent all rounder in the kitchen.Without doubt this is the sharpest chef knife I have used and the quality of workmanship and materials are very high. Very impressed and I look forward to exploring more of the Kitory range.

The media could not be loaded. ●This top knife is really good quality and very comfortable to hold, lightweight, aprox 200g. Has a good overall balance when cutting. I don't feel like I have a hammer in my hands.●Im not a chef but I like playing with the idea and with this knife it is possible, feels like a pro. Cuts very sharp and straight. Need to be very careful when using it as can cut the skin easily.●The blade is made of carbon steel, corrosion resistance, this means that with low maintenance can last for ages and not to forget, is sharpened on both sides. There isn’t anything it shouldn’t cut with, but working with I noticed that it’s best for meat, as I can cut thin slices a lot better than I do with a ordinary knife.●It’s simple to clean and wash it, better if avoided by very hot water and dried immediately after washing.Highly recommend.

This 4-inch paring knife arrived packaged in a lovely presentation box wrapped in cellophane and is ideal for gifting the knife in. Inside the knife is held within foam and is protected with a plastic bag and a plastic tip protector for the blade end.The knife is German forged with high carbon stainless steel and is full tang (meaning that the metal runs through the handle as well) so feels very balanced whilst in use. The blade has a thickness of 2mm and has an overall length of 22.5cm with a weight of around 100g. The blade is very sharp on arrival and has the brand logo branded onto the metal. The handle is made from pakkawood and feels ergonomic.The knife is ideal for peeling, chopping, dicing and slicing smaller food items such as fruit and vegetables. The knife is a quality item that feels like it will stand the test of time if looked after and it feels like there is very little chance of it breaking. Priced at £18.99 at the time of reviewing, although this is a bit of an investment for a single small knife, it is definitely a premium object that is a pleasure to use and therefore I would be happy to recommend it.
