MITSUMOTO SAKARI Professional Japanese Chef Knife, 8 inch Hand Forged Kitchen Gyuto Knife, AUS-10 Premium Damascus Cooking Knife (Shadowwood Pomegranate Handle & Sandalwood Box)

A very pretty, very sharp knife.

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

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

The media could not be loaded. 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!

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

Disgustingly terrible quality! Its not even damascus steel! Its engraved pattern. The handle is a piece of plastic rubbish. Feels cheap and flimsy. Unbelievable. I would give 0 stars if I could

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.
