Soufull Japanese Chef Knife - 8 Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife Ergonomic Handle Durable Blade Chef's Knives

Great Knife, Great Company. I have bought this knife recently, and it came in this very professional box. The knife was surrounded with foam to protect the blade. I love the wooden handle on the knife, as well as the design on the blade. The knife has a very good feel to it, with a nice balanced weight. Out of the box, the blade was razor sharp. The knife came in right on time because I was cutting a LOT of meat that day, so it was a perfect way for me to test the blade. At first, slicing the meat was like slicing a stick of butter. It was so smooth and natural. I haven't had a good sharp knife like this, probably ever! As time went by, the knife needed more force to slice through the meat. After I was done, I took a look at the blade, and notice the uneven grind, a tiny chip, and rolling of the metal. This alarmed me so I contacted customer service, and oh my, Julia was the best! This was a defective product and she gave me the option for another knife or a full refund. Of course in a mass production scale, there will be defective items, that should be understood by everyone. But the customer service is different for each company. Soufull has such great customer service! The responded literally within the next hour, with a full apology, and willing fullness to help my situation. To me, customer service is one of the most important things for a company. I am very pleased of the products theoretical potential (if it wasn't defective) and the customer service. Great company!

I got this Soufull 8 inch chef knife for a gift for a family member who works in the food industry. I wanted to make sure that I was giving a high quality gift for someone who knows there way around a kitchen, so I put it to a test. (I took a lot of close up photos to show knife details. Let me know if you find this helpful.) The box was perfect for presenting as a gift and can be easily wrapped. It’s a sleek box with silver foil and has an invisible magnetic closure. The interior has high density foam to protect it. The knife is absolutely beautiful with it’s solid wood handle that has burgundy and black graining. The handle appears to be a solid, seamless piece of wood instead of two pieces joined together to fashion the handle. There isn’t a visible tang and there aren’t any rivets. The butt of knife is stainless steel. The stainless steel is in mint condition and has the Soufull logo etched onto one side. It fits comfortably in my hand without any awkwardness. I thought I had a couple of sharp knives in my kitchen but after comparing it with this knife, it makes all my other knives seem incredibly dull. I usually like to test a knife’s sharpness by cutting a super ripe, soft tomato. This cut through cleanly and with perfect edges and without having to put pressure on the tomato. It was like butter without pulling on the skin of the tomato. And just out of curiosity, I did a brief video to see how it did slicing through paper. It cut beautifully unlike my other knives which left ragged edges and some even required a little sawing motion to get it to cut through with smooth edges. Hopefully the edge holds up over time. This is an incredibly great buy and you get a lot of quality for the price.

The box the knife came in was damaged and wouldn't close. It sees like the magnets that help keep the box closed weren't working at all. But I will not be using the box anyway since I made a knife holder for it. The knife itself is good. Sharp out of the box, handle looks amazing. The steel is a subpar stainless steel. But for a kitchen knife, it's very usable. However this is a gift to a non-knife enthusiast so I'm sure it'll be beyond amazing to them. The blade itself is a fingerprint magnet out of the box. The finish of the blade is great. Be sure to use the soft side of the sponge when cleaning. For the low-low price that I bought it, it is just what I wanted.

Decent knife for households The parts I like: 1: Nice gift wrap if you want send it as a gift. 2: Unique textures over the blade 3: Super sharp I don't know it will be dull very fast cuz I only use it few days. 4: Our chef use it to cut beef, pork, chicken and all kinds of vegetables, so far no complaints from them 5: Comfortable Grip and looks very luxury. The parts our chef dislike: 1: Small hands suggested if you have bigger hands than others, save your money. 2: It didn't work very smoothly on frozen meats. Cuz only 8 inches. But after defrost, there is no problem. It is good enough for household daily use 3 Not wooden knife handle. It looks like wood and when you grip feel like it. May be we are wrong. Please check descriptions for this product. Anyway I like this knife that is why I give five star. Please consider the concerns from our chef. They are more professional.

We are happy with this item. These kitchen shears have a nice weight to them and the grip handle works well in my very small hands as well as in my husband's very large hands. They are not extremely sharp, but I assume they could be sharpened if needed. They work for our needs, which is mostly opening packages. Some shears are cheap & have a 'wobble' in them where the center screw isn't quite snug enough & can't be tightened. This pair doesn't have that - they open & close smoothly - no 'wobble'. The description does not mention cleaning, but I run mine through the dishwasher on occasion for my germ phobic piece of mine and these have done fine with that - no rust yet. I don't use the blade guard, because it's just an extra little step to mess with when I'm cooking, but it is a durable plastic & a nice touch if you prefer to use it. I haven't used these for anything heavy duty, but they have been meeting my family's needs. I'm adding to my original review that these shears are VERY durable. Unbeknownst to me, my husband used my brand new kitchen shears to cut carpet! Boy was I upset. He explained that nothing else had worked - other scissors his utility knives, etc. had failed. So, he decided to try these & they made the job a breeze. If I'd done something like that with his tools, I would have gotten the "use the right tool for the job" lecture, but I guess he doesn't consider my kitchen items to be tools for my job, so he can just do whatever he wants with them. The shears did not suffer from his mistreatment of them & still work as well as ever. Still not happy with my hubby, but happier than ever with my shears, so changing my 4 stars to 5 since they survived my husbands abuse :-)

I'm so impressed with this knife! It came in a beautiful box, which would make it a great gift by the way, although I ordered it for my own kitchen. Quality workmanship, German steel, a knife sheath, and the fact that its the most inexpensive knife I own... I'm so very impressed!

Nicely made, good quality knife. It is very sharp and does a nice job,

First I have to say, you get what you pay for, and this is an inexpensive knife. It is reasonably sharp, and is as described for the 2/3 tang and single edge sharpening.. Tat being said. The handle leave a lot to be desired. The rivets protrude out and can be a bit uncomfortable on the hands. This is true also for the tang, as it extends upward from the handle leaving a sharp ridge. I will be re-sanding the handle for this reason. Also, the wood is actually pretty poor. It was not sanded consistently, so the shape is odd and varies. There are also some pretty good dents in it as well. Saying this know lists for $99.99 is totally absurd. I paid 12.99, and it is fair at that price.
