KATSU Japanese Professional Kitchen Chef Knife，8 Inch Damascus Steel,Handcrafted Octagonal Wood Handle,Walnut Wood Magnetic Sheath with Gifts Box

The knife was purchased as a gift and the recipient was beyond pleased with the craftsmanship

This is my goto knife for cutting almost anything that requires a sharp edge. It looks beautiful! It also sticks to my magnetic knife strip with the sheath on! I definitely recommend this knife!

happy with it so far, i like it alot so far, pretty , pretty knife , the katsu box is a little beaten up , will talk to seller about it

Very sharp to the extent that it intimidates me:) its all about the "respect" and it definitely keeps me on my toes... we love to cook and live in a van therefore have limited space and have made the perfect choice for our life style.Rob and Jan Can Van

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.I’d buy it again, the build quality is very good.
