The tip is excellent for fine detail work on vegetables and fruit and has made it one of the knives in my top daily rotation. The packaging is incredible work of art of its own!The stainless steel finish prevents rust and patina from forming. I do not recommend putting this in the dishwasher! I Purchased during the before Christmas sale at a great value for my money. The knife arrived very sharp and holds an edge well. When sharpening this knife it is best suited to use high quality ceramic whetstones & diamond plates.On my first sharpening I was able to apply such an edge that really bumping my skin accidentally resulted in an injury. At 210 mm it is a great size for most kitchen tasks. Meat, chicken, vegetables and fruit are all game for this knife. Update - 6 months of near daily use, I had a small issue with edge chipping, a few strokes a the 5000 grit ceramic whetstone brought back a clean edge with little effort. The core steel is typical of this style knife and is very hard. I estimate 62+ HRC. Still very happy with this knife and use it daily. I do suspect this is manufactured in China and not in Japan as implied. Still it is a high quality knife worth the money when purchased on sale under $100. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by on Reviewed in the United States June 29, 2026* Good quality super sharp ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy with the knife *by on Reviewed in the United States July 3, 2026* Very good looking and feeling. Cuts so good and very sharp. ## Frequently Bought Together - KAWAHIRO Japanese Chef Knife, 210mm Black Forged VG10 Kitchen Knife, Handcrafted Professional Chefs Knife with Ergonomic Handle, Perfect Birthday Gifts for Men Women, Luxury Gift Wood Box - Sharp Pebble Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpening Stone 2 Side Grit 1000/6000 Waterstone- Whetstone Knife Sharpener- NonSlip Bamboo Base & Angle Guide - KITETSU Japanese chef knife made in Japan gyutou 8" Damascus VG10 SEKI city superior stainless blade 210mm --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/623139341-kawahiro-8-27-inch-japanese-chef-knife-hand-forged-vg10](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/623139341-kawahiro-8-27-inch-japanese-chef-knife-hand-forged-vg10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
