This is now my favorite utility knife. The blade retains a sharp edge and the handle does not get "slippery" when dissecting fatty meats.

I've only had this for a couple weeks, but it seems really, really nice. Great all purpose asian style cleaver...very nice quality for the money. Not for breaking bones, etc, but really good for everything else. Cutting vegetables, meat, etc...all great and does not stick. I have a Wusthof asian chef's knife that was twice as expensive and very nice, but it sticks when chopping vegetables, especially cabbage, while this does not. Very happy with my purchase.

I would suggest coating the handle with some Boos Block board cream after each use... while beautiful out of the box, the sycamore handle seems very absorbent. The beeswax and mineral oil combo seems to retain the luster and seal it from liquids. Very happy with my purchase.

These are Chinese made, but they are extremely nice. Every bit as good as Japanese knives. Definately packaged like a quality product if your looking for a gift, they won't dissappoint! They are sharp right out of the box. But I've already used one enough to test sharpening. It was quite easy, so it takes an edge very well. Love the handles. Obviously, hand wash, dry immediately, bees wax or boos conditioner on the handles, as needed due to use. Care for the blade like you would any fine quality knife. I'm glad I gave them a try! Yes German is best says my husband.
