Beautiful craftsmanship
El mejor cuchillo que he tenido
I absolutely love this knife! So much so, that I also bought the bread knife. The handle feels good in my hand and the blade is super sharp. The only problem I have is that these old arthritic hands get tired and hurt after using my utility knife for a while. And this is heartbreaking for me when I am doing a lot of cutting during canning season. I do not have need of a huge set of knives when I only use a few of them regularly. I highly recommend this brand to anyone who is looking for a good quality knife for the kitchen. Now, I am off to see if I can find the only other one I really need and that is a paring knife. Stay blessed!
Simply amazing hugs the hand cuts beautifully I just don’t like the labels on the knife the company name and where it’s from. Everything else is a 5. 4 is for the written portion on the knife.

I totally love this knife. It is well made damascus blade and is super sharp. I maintain the edge with a couple of swipes over a ceramic "steel". The handle is beautiful and feels really good and secure in your hand; even when wet.I would purchase the entire set if I needed them.

Bought the 5 knife set 2 years ago. I really like these knives. They seem to hold their edge really well. The first thing I did when received was put a coat of stain (to match our kitchen cabinets) and 3 layers of polyurethane on the wooden handles. Also, immediately made a house rule that they are hand wash ONLY under threat of death (no dishwasher). I will say that the Damascus pattern is barely visible on my knives unlike in the sales photos. But they seem to be well made knives. Very happy with purchase.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:The Damascus steel blades are mid-to-high quality. Very sharp and packaged very well. The handle material is a very light weight composite. I wish the handle material was of slightly better quality, and heavier so the knife feels more balanced.
Nicer than Shun, nice handle but has a couple bumps that should have been sanded on the wood knots.I bought this more for a steak knife and it has been fantastic so far.I'll have to reserve perfection until I see how well it holds an edge, hones and sharpens.Really great knife for the money. This would be a great set also, just be careful with V10 blade edges, they chip really easily.
Great knife! Enjoy the handle as best you can get to get a comfortable grip while cutting to cookLooking for a second one to cut different things
Awesome

Excellent for veggies and stays perfectly sharp. I keep it honed with a Ceramic Steele. It gets immediately cleaned and stored back in it's holder after each use. Great grip and perfect weight. Use it to cut meat at times, No Bones.
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 love these knives. Have had this for years and they’re still great
Very nice!

The pattern doesn't show up as well as it does in thier pictures. But I don't think any of them really do. 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, but I always liked Damascus.
Bought this for my boyfriend whoes a chef and he literally cried. This is a BEAUTIFUL knife and is crafted to perfection. The blade is SO sharp and stays sharp for a LONG time. Has a good weight to it and it fits in your hand perfectly. Such an amazing product for the price. It cuts through anything with ease!
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. Great balance and weight. 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 knives are great, very sharp ,good balance and grip
