Cuts Really Well

This knife has a nice weight to it. the blade is extremely sharp and able to cut through raw meat like it's butter. I like that it comes with a little plastic protector that you put over the tip so you don't get harm the drawer or your hand by accident. I don't know why there are grooves on the blade, away from the cutting edge, which to me, detracts from the overall appearance of a well-crafted knife. I ordered a replacement thinking I had received a flawed product, and the replacement had the same grooves on it.

Cuts well and maintains sharpness

I have had this santoku knife for two months. I have only sharpened it once.It fits the hand well & does not slip. The blade cover is a nice addition for storage, as the knife is very sharp.For this price point, I would consider it a good value.

Gets the job done

It's a sharp knife, but pretty much all new knives are.Seems to be holding it's edge pretty well so far in the month I've had it and it feels good in the hand.Though having used only western style chef knifes in the past, the cutting action/motion is a bit strange to me, but that's a me issue, not a knife issue.I'm not sure if it is intentional design or just poor quality, but the sides of the blade near the hilt have what look to be gouges/blemishes, which I am not a fan of whether it be artistic choice or manufacturer defect.They are polished up and aren't deep so I don't think they are affecting the structural integrity of the blade.I mean overall, I'm happy with it considering it's a $25 kitchen knife.

If you want a high quality knife, just get a high quality knife

This is one of those products that looks great on the surface but little by little you start to notice things. It’s not a bad knife but it’s not high quality either. It feels solid and has a nice weight. The grip seam is not flush, the knife itself has heavy grinding marks to make the shape but totally skipped the finishing process and stuck paint on it. The blade is sharp and I have no idea what the metal composition, hardness or how long it will hold its edge.
