MITSUMOTO SAKARI Japanese Chef Knife, Professional Damascus Gyuto Knives

Beautiful work of art. I love the special handle with the blend of shadow wood garnet and natural resins. It really does look like a star! the balance is brilliant and you have full control over the blade. Incredibly sharp and glides through food like water so you have full control as it is only 180 grams. The Gyuto shape is amazing and It is a mind blowing fact that it weighs lighter than my mobile phone. I love the Damascus hand folding method which gives a waves effect on the blade. It feels amazing in my palm with a starry handle and a wavy blade. Amazing work of art!

Splendid knife. Great craftsmanship. A knife for most tasks completed with ease. Hard to find a better knife. I'm a chef for 27 years so know the value of a great knife for tasks in the kitchen. No hesitation it will last forever with the right care. Sharp is an understatement .Very happy with my investment.

Amazing knife needed a sharpen when I got it but it was far from blunt I just love keeping my knifes extremely sharp and the edge has held beautifully would highly recommend for anyone who works in a professional kitchen or just loves having high quality utensils couldn't recommend enough

Light weight, good comfort and good balance. The blade has good finishing and is great for professional work. Yes, it's made in china by using Japanese steel and craftsmanship, but either way, I am happy with my purchase. If you're a chef and looking for a semi decent knife, this one is the way to go. But if you want something with more weight, Global is the best choice.

The knife is amazing quality and extremely sharp. Genuinely feels as if when cutting and chopping up food its like cutting through butter.

At first I couldn't understand why a single knife could cost so much, but after receiving and using it, I can understand why. The quality of this knife is outstanding and when I used it to cut through a corn of cob and it honestly sliced through it like butter, with minimal effort. How good this knife is is probably wasted on me, but it is a joy to use it and makes chopping and cutting so much easier. I do plan on giving this to my brother who is about to begin his cookery adventure in college and a really good knife is a must, so this would be perfect. The pictures do show a nice patterned design on the blade, which was disappointing when it arrived as it didn't have that design on it. It comes in a really nice and portable case, with blade protection and sharpening stones included to ensure the blade stays at the best quality for as long as possible.

A very pretty, very sharp knife.

Decent quality damascus, not laser printed as two others i bought in the past.

Il est très léger et équilibré , et c’est très bien , c’est la preuve qu’il est authentique , il me fait pensé aux vrais sabre japonais qui sont très léger pour leur grandeur , à comparaison aux vulgaires imitations qui pèse une tonne ( il faut avoir manipulé un vrais et un faux sabre pour comprendre vraiment ) J’ai effectué le teste de la tomate : qui consiste à coupé une tomate sans la touchée, wow je suis impressionné de voir que ce n’ai pas un mythe finalement , sa marche :) Je déplore l’absence d’un vrais fourreau , cependant il est livré dans une jolie boite , d’ailleurs c’est écrit dans la description, il faut donc le ranger dans sa boîte après chaque utilisation , c’est toutes une procédure , ont peut voir sa comme un art , mais moi j’aurais préféré un fourreau et garder la boîte pour le transport dans le cadre d’un déménagement

Fue para regalar (aunque mi madre decía que daba mala suerte regalar cuchillos... total, era para el cuñado jeje). Según la opinión del susodicho, va muy bien. Aunque yo no soy fan de estos mangos tan cuadrados. Me van mejor los de tipo kukri... Qué bien ha hecho Forjado a fuego al mundo!
