KEEMAKEJapanese Gyuto Chef Knife - 8 inch Professional Kitchen Knife with 440C High Carbon Steel Blade, Sharp Cutting Knives Rosewood Handle for Home Cooking and Restaurant

Very good weight and balance. It's an attractive knife with a very nice wooden handle and asharp edges. Great value.

As a home chef I am always looking for new tools at reasonable prices to expand my collection. I learned about the benefits of this blade style and found this knife. It's a beautiful knife with a Damascus blade and a hardwood handle. The hexagonal handle is good but not great for comfort. Blade was very sharp when received and held its edge for months. I had a professional blade shop sharpen it and it is holding the new edge very well. Very good knife for the price point.

This knife is very sharp and looks great in my kitchen. It handles fruits and small tasks easily, and I love the design of the octagonal wood handle. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is that the handle already needed oil after the first wash to keep it from drying out. Otherwise, a solid, beautiful knife.

Awesome knives!

I'm a novice, self taught sushi chef. The final part of my journey was cutting through my rolls without crushing them and having flat, not round, rolls. I researched my problem and discovered that a Yanagiba knife was the answer. My only use for the knife is cutting through sushi rolls, and this is sharp enough to make clean cuts without flattening as you can see from the picture. Real Japanese knives cost hundreds to over a thousand dollars each. This knife is a great Chinese reproduction, suitable for my needs. It's sharp and comfortable to hold as well as easy to clean.

Great knife that holds and edge, and arrives extremely sharp from the factory with a nice storage box. Thick durable construction, clean looks and and excellent value. If you want one get it.

I’m a professional chef and have been for 10 years. This is a wonderful knife for anyone just starting to cook or someone like myself who uses knives everyday in the workplace. I wanted a vegetable knife that wasn’t as expensive as a shun or miyabi but still holds a good edge . This knife delivers that. It has a little bit of weight to it which is very nice when cutting through large onions or carrots . It has a good balance . It stays sharp and looks beautiful, doesn’t look cheap like alot of 40$ knives do. The handle is beautiful as well and makes for an easy hold. The nonstick coating along with the hammered blade is gorgeous. It’s a beautiful knife that gets the job done and maintains a good edge, I also don’t have to worry about dropping or chipping it because it was only 40$ . When I use my Miyabi I am very meticulous where I put it and how I treat it because it’s a higher class of knife that requires more care and costs alot more money . This knife delivers everything you need and I will defenitly be buying more products from this company in the future .

Great knife, feels solid and very sharp
