Almost completely as advertised
This is razor sharp, looks nice, the full tang is good, it is easy to use, looks nice, and overall is beautiful!The 'sheath' is the nice box packaging it comes in, which makes nice gift wrapping.One thing they don't say is the knife, from edge to spine, is 2 inches at its widest. It should fit in most standard cutting blocks where your chefs knife goes.Enjoy!

Sharp All-Around Chef Knife
This Gutoky 8” Japanese Chef Knife is very attractive. I opted for the one with the dark Pakkawood contoured handle, although I must admit I was torn between this style and the lighter-colored straight handle. The only reason for choosing the contoured handle was because its looks were more in line with my other knives. I believe the blade for both are made of the same grade high carbon steel.The knife came well packaged to protect from damage during shipping; even the tip was well protected with a plastic covering, I’ll tell you what. The box it came in is even nice enough to gift wrap. And it does include a clear sheath, although I store mine in my knife block.Sure, it doesn’t have a fancy popular German name, but the knife passed the paper cutting test no problem, so sharpness was pretty good out of the box. The knife is well-balanced and has been a pleasure cutting various vegetables, including tomatoes, without effort.Of course, I won’t be able to report on how long the blade remains sharp before needing to run it across my whetstone, but so far so good.

Chef approved!
My husband is a chef and owns his own restaurant that cuts meat all the time to prepare it for cooking. He, of course, has sharp knives and he doesn’t like change. If it's not broke, don’t fix it, he says. As his wife, I live by, if it’s not broke, it can still be improved. In comes this awesome chef knife!When I saw this knife, I went back and forth saying I’m getting it, and then not getting it. I got it! When it arrived my husband actually rolled his eyes and said it’s too pretty to stay sharp or work very well. I said, just try it. I had no idea if it would work or not.After a few days, he comes in and asked me where I got it. He said, that knife cuts meat like butter!The knife came in supper fast. It’s in a really nice box with precautions taken to prevent someone getting cut removing it from the box. It has a nice weight to it and the handle is solid and well attacked. It doesn’t move in the least. The design looks like hammered metal and goes from the tip to the rear of the knife. It a very nice knife that you wouldn’t be disappointed in using or even displaying if you so choose.For me, if my husband, that runs a restaurant, loves this knife, I truly believe it’s a very good knife. When he reaches for a knife, this is the one he grabs. See! If it’s not broke, it can still be improved. With that, I would highly recommend this knife.

Awesome Dasmascus Kitchen Knife
Given the difficulty and lengthy manufacturing process, I highly recommend any Damascus knife. My Dad was a metallurgical engineer who often told me stories about how the Japanese masters would fold over the steel many times and also quench & temper the steel to achieve its amazing qualities. This kitchen knife possesses such steel. The lines on the steel blade, the hallmark of Damascus steel, can be seen in the closeup photos. When I first held it in my hand, I was impressed at how comfortable it felt. I can't emphasize this quality enough--one must experience it to really understand. My other kitchen knife handles have flat sides, while this knife has rounded sides. The balance in the hand is easy. It is incredibly sharp, easily cutting through paper sheets.Overall, I am highly impressed by this knife and heartily recommend it, especially at this price point.
