Laser sharp slicer for thin, precision cuts.

Great looking knife. It's more of a precision laser type knife you break out when you need smooth, clean cuts rather than an every day chef's knife. I can take or leave the Damascus pattern. It's pretty, but I'm a function over form kind of cook first. It's well balanced and comfortable enough to use and control, but as authentic as that octagonal faceted handle may make it look, that kind of handle will be both good and bad. It's true to the style of knife this is trying to replicate, and many will love it, but I personally find more modern ergonomic designs to be more comfortable. It's not uncomfortable, but I've seen and used more comfortable knives with again, more modern style handles. It's got good sharpness out of the box, and so far has held up, but things like edge retention and how well it takes to sharpening are things that will become more apparent with time and I'll amend this review should any issues arise. Love the magnetic sheath though. Nice touch. Frankly if you're spending upwards of a hundred dollars on a knife meant for clean, precision slices, you want to protect it as well as protect yourself from that edge. I've known of Cangshan from chef friends and friends that cook and they hold the brand in high regard. Nothing I saw in this knife diminished that reputation. I may not have completely liked the handle, but comfort is subjective and it's not a flaw in the knife so much as personal preference. It sliced really well using smooth long strokes, going through meat like air. I'm glad this knife is in my collection and think you will be too. Recommended.

Beautiful and amazing knife

Rating: Highly recommendedThis is my second knife from this brand and I'm still impressed with their products. This knife is amazingly sharp and the knife geometry is ideal for a slicing type knife. I've used this on several apples and it slices beautifully, resulting in amazingly crisp edges on the apple pieces themselves.It does a great job of doing thin slices, the results in the pictures would have been better if I was more skilled with it.The handle is hexagonal, but that doesn't make it uncomfortable to use, in fact it allows for a solid and secure grip and easy indexing to know where the cutting edge is. The material that the handle is comprised of lends to a quality feel, everything is well put together - nothing rattles or is loose, nor are there any gaps.Overall the knife has an appropriate weight to it, not too heavy and not too light.I'm extremely happy to have this quality knife in my kitchen, prepping dinners will be much better!~Ratings Guide~Pass/Skip: product failed to meet basic expectations and/or has major flawsSoft recommendation: product meets expectations under specific conditions, and/or has serious flaws that can be mitigated under the right circumstancesRecommended: product isn't perfect, but it met ExpectationsSolid recommendation: product met Expectations with some nitpicks or minor flawsHighly recommended: product exceeded expectations

Now that’s a knife!

This is a beautifully made sashimi knife. From tip of the blade to the end of the handle it measures 13”. The Damascus blade has steel that was folded onto itself (67 layers) which makes it strong and gives it the look of wood grain. The handle and the sheath also has that “wood grain” pattern. This would make a thoughtful gift for someone who is serious about cooking.I tested the sharpness of the blade and I felt like I had good control of the knife as I was able to cut food paper thin. I’m delighted to have this knife and I look forward to using this to make sushi.

Sharp, beautiful blade with decorative hilt and protective sheath

This knife has a comfortable grip, an inset metal decoration in the handle, and a well-fitting protective cover that will keep it safe in a drawer. The only downside to the cover is that you cannot use the knife on a magnetic knife holder with the cover on. This knife is a pleasure to use, and a pleasure to look at, and would make a beautiful gift for people who will use it to cut fish or really anything. In some cultures, a knife given as a gift should be given with a penny or other coin, to avoid bad luck, especially as a wedding gift. With proper care, this knife can last a very long time, be re-sharpened when dull, and be used for a lifetime.
