HOSHANHO Kitchen Knife in Japanese High Carbon Steel, Professional High-Class Chef's Knife 8 inch, Non-slip Ultra Sharp Cooking Knives with Ergonomic Handle

I purchased this for my foodie uncle and he absolutely loves it. I looked at it myself before giving it to him and it is incredibly balanced and comfortable in the hand. He told me that it was razor sharp and did a better job of cutting onions than his mandolin, and he's difficult to please with kitchen equipment so if he likes it pretty much anyone will. It's very sturdy, but time will tell how will it keeps its edge. I'm pretty confident that it'll keep it though. Fantastic knife overall though, and definitely worth a purchase.

Excellent knife -- and I have had French Chef knives for more than 50 years and this one is top end for handling and especially for sharpness. The 13 degree knife edge is incredibly sharp and goes through onions without crushing the juice out, so no crying. Also slices tomatoes so thin you can see through them! Easy clean up and unlike my old carbon steel knives, which are also razor sharp, this one doesn't appear to be troubled by cutting high acid foods. The "pinch grip" is my long-standing way to use these knives because it gives you excellent blade control and the handle and blade design work great for that. All in all, especially for the price, these are great knives to anyone who regularly uses a French chef knife. Only word of caution -- they really, really are sharp, so sharp if you use the blade to lift veggies off the cutting board, you have to be careful not to cut the board!

What an amazing knife! It’s sharp, heavy, durable and looks great! It is an excellent price.

These knives are AMAZING. Cutting anything is easy with the sharp effectiveness of this knife. The handle is elegant and ergonomic (comfortable) to hold. I highly recommend Hoshano knives!

I use this knife in my personal kitchen and at work in my restaurant. I love these knives they are easy to grip, lightweight, extremely sharp and hold an edge for an incredibly long time. For their prices they are unbeatable.

Sharp and well made. Handle is so comfortable in hand. Has nice weight, not at all flimsy.

I am a knife nut. This piece is very well made. The handle fits in my small to medium hand as if it were born there. Balance? Oh yes! This knife has great balance. Its blade is chef-sharp and solid. I have successfully sliced raw beef, turkey breast, chicken, and pork for jerky; as well as fine veggie prep for sushi. What a pleasure to work with. Cleaning is easy, but please, do show it the respect it deserves by never putting it in a dishwasher. In fact, no bladed kitchen tool should ever go in the dishwasher, including a vegetable peeler. I carefully wash the knife in soapy water and dry it with a soft absorbent cloth. It is then stored with on my knife magnet alongside of its "siblings" where it will stand at attention until summoned for the next culinary assignment. I purchased this knife at a slight discount, yet after working with it multiple times, I would not bat an eye over its regular price. Great value for the money!

Nice knife for the money! Sharp and easy to sharpen! Glad i bought!

Belle qualité de ce produit, fiabilité japonaise !

➡️Lo primero que quiero puntualizar es la presentación del mismo, en su cajita con sus instrucciones de fabricación y mantenimiento. 🔹️Tiene unas cachas perfectamente integradas en la hoja, es mi primer cuchillo de estos precios y que bien fabricado esta. 🔸️Me ha ido bien cortando verdura como carne, no lo he probado con pescado, pero me imagino que irá igual de bien. 🔹️Tienda una hoja bien afilada que casi sin esfuerzo corta perfectamente, la verdura es una pasada como la corta. 🔸️No es muy pesado o no me lo parece a mi y con este tipo de cuchillos en la cocina es todo más fácil.

i bought this knife on sale,i did not have much expectation over its quality given its price, but ive been pleasantly surprised, its a great knife, easy to hold, good grip and i sharpen it regularly with a horl-type sharpener and it holds an edge pretty well, i use it daily, not sure id buy it at reguar price but keep an eye on a sale ,id buy another one once its on sale

I bought this knife as i needed one just for fruits and vegetables. It has good ‘weight’ and the design of the handle is ergonomic so it feels comfortable. The blade is also the right size for me. Am happy with my purchase.

Ongelofelijke kwaliteit. Je ziet heel mooi dat dit met de hand geslepen is door de minieme onregelmatigheden. Dat maakt het zo mooi. Lekker dun en mega scherp. Is onmiddellijk terug scherp geslepen als je weet wat je doet.
