MITSUMOTO SAKARI 8 inch Kiritsuke Knife Kitchen Chef’s Knife, Professional Japanese Kitchen Cooking Knives Damascus Japan Steel (Red Pomegranate Handle)

i’m not really satisfied with this product and with this seller because after buying one weak my knife is suddenly drop down from the kitchen line table and broke the handle.droppings knife is normal it happens anytime on working time it has to strong handle and i text to seller but no responding.

So nice that knife

Nice quality knife. I find this to be a bit blade heavy, and at first it felt strange in my hand, but perhaps that’s because I’m coming from three different shun Kiritsuke knives. This is a very nice blade and it seems to hold an edge. It is very smooth, so for vegetables they tend to trap. But it makes great precision cuts.

I bought this knife a year ago, and as a sous chef at a super busy restaurant my original knife was used for nearly anything and everything I used it for. I unfortunately dropped the first one, (the pearl colored handle) and only lost just the very tip of it. Was able to hone it back to a decent tip, but used it so much and didn’t give it proper care regularly as I should (I didn’t realize how essential this was at first, for all knives) so my original took a beating. Only complaint is that eventually one of the pins on the handle did fall out. However, I loved the comfort, the weight, the look, and the durability of this knife so much I went ahead and got it again in red with the intentions of treating it right this time now that I know better. Best knife and best price. It’s beautiful. They are both so different and individual and I’m so happy with the new one. I’m not one to order the same knife again but was so satisfied with this one I couldn’t help it.

Solid, durable, comfortable and, easy to hold in your hand. Used it alot in my life of work, and people were asking where I got it from. Only thing that a as a main problem, but not a big problem for me, was that, how easy it was to scrape the blade itself. Leaving marks, if you sharpen it. Overall, it's a pretty good knife.

A very sharp and impressive knife.
