MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8 inch Japanese Kiritsuke Chef Knife, Hand Forged 67 Layers 440C Damascus Steel Kitchen Knives, Professional Meat Sushi Chef's Knife (White Pomegranate Handle & Gift Box)

Gave this knife to one of my bosses in the past and his mother wanted it ,I wound up getting fired later because the immigrant they hired wanted more money and was trying to press me for how much I was getting paid.

Very happy with my purchase and this knife! I know knives very well, I bought it for my wife for Mother's day, well that is what I told her hehehe. It is very light and EXTREMELY SHARP, everything you want in a knife. Just watch out for the finger guard, it is very sharp and can cut you if you do not pay attention.

Really happy with this knife it only comes out on special occasions like salami making time or preparing some nice fish. Love it

Domo arigato to the craftspeoptreet le who made this wonderful piece of functional art. Balance, ergonomics, sharpness/cut feel and quality are all sublime. (Street cred: professional with chef level knife skills going back 4 decades. Quality knives a passion and benefit of being a retired old fart: cut gloves. Never had them and never will need one. And my affection for cut gloves is almost on par with the bubonic plague. Start slow and easy - and burn the skill into the motor pathways! Protecting from stupid only protects stupidity. Death To Cut Gloves!!!!)

Beautiful knife, extremely sharp and well-made and balanced
