Title: Great knife!
Review: Just a short review.It handles differently than a typical western style knife but once you got used to it you will never go back.The steel is real damascus steel, i checked it after sharpening, the lines come back after sharpening. First i was skeptical because it is extremely light. The blade is very sharp.Use a good and very fine wet stone.The grip is octagonal and i thought that might be an issue but it turned out that i specifically love the shape.Iâd buy it again, the build quality is very good.

Title: Great blade; awful handle
Review: The good: the blade itself is great. The Damascus steel is beautiful, the blade is incredibly sharp, and the curved blade gives for a very smooth and easy dice experience.The bad: the handle is awful. I suspect that the handle is made of plastic, as itâs very light and feels like it could break easily. Good kitchen knives have the steel go from the tip of the blade all the way to the butt of the handle; this is often showcased by having the steel exposed at the top of the handle. This handle does not do that, which is something I would expect in a knife of this price and quality. All of this makes for a very light knife (typically the heavier the better), and an awkward balance.Overall, itâs a bit strange to have such a high quality blade in such a cheap handle. Itâs like making a steak sandwich with Japanese wagyu beef and putting in between two slices of Wonder Bread. As such, the knife is overpriced, making it difficult to recommend. A more fitting price for this might be around $80-$90. This is a good starter knife for someone interested in getting high end chefâs knives, but I would recommend looking into higher quality soon after.

Title: Great Quality for Price Range
Review: Good quality knife and sheath for price range with superb sharpness and great handle. Blade is light and balanced. Would like to state that it is good for the three virtues of cooking with bones and shells excluded.

Title: Not worth the price!
Review: Very cheap steel and poor construction. The blade is not worth the price more like a 40-dollar knife. Three months after usage the handle became loose and separated from the blade.
