HOSHANHO Sushi Knife 10 Inch, Ultra Sharp Sashimi Knives, Rosewood Handle | Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Yanagiba Knife, Japanese Kitchen Chef Knives for Cutting Sushi & Sashimi, Fish Filleting

Great knife. I love it. Just wish it was made in Japan. As you can see from the image I am a very big fan of Japanese knives. I love them I love sharpening them and I love keeping them very very very sharp. I have just purchased another Japanese knife which I'm hoping will arrive by next week. The one in the middle is the Hoshanho Sushi Knife. One thing I will mention and that is these are probably very very good kitchen knives probably good enough for a good chef. The trick is knowing how to use them properly. I've seen so many who buy knives, not knowing what they bought and mis use them, don't keep them sharp and just cut with them in a very amateuristic way that is and can be scary.

I now own 6 Hoshanho knives and every one of them is exceptional. I wanted really sharp knives and I got really sharp knives and I will keep them that way. They are beautiful. They cut like a dream- effortless. Did I mention they are beautiful?

I bought it for my husband for his work and he loved it, he says it's light and very good size

Great knife, cuts well. Looks great too.

Careful using this knife. It is very sharp; I could slice raw chicken thinly and cleanly without tearing. The blade is beautifully made, but the handle looks cheap in contrast. Plus the pommel end on mine seemed to have a raised trim edge that can cut/snag the hand. Personal preference would've wished it came with a knife sheath instead of the cheap plastic wrap. Also I prefer to have the balance point closer to where the handle and tang of the blade meet, instead of out further on the blade.

So sharp and good quality

this is the third one that I have purchased and am happy with them

Sharp is an understatement. It's a perfect size and weight for sushi. The balance is incredible. For the price, you can't beat it.

A gorgeous blade at a steal of a price. The quality was unexpected at this price point and I’ve been recommending it to everyone! We’re not all sushi chefs and done need to invest the better part of a paycheck into one knife that we’ll use occasionally… this is the perfect balance. A great knife at a reasonable cost, so that every once in a blue moon you feel like slicing up some salmon - you too can live out your Morinoto & Nobu dreams.

Perfect knife

The case was opened before with extra tape on and a plastic spacer was missing on one side for an approiate protection. Blade itself is in good quality but I found a crack on the handle. I am not happy with what I see here!
