Razors dream of being this sharp
I started cooking later in life as my late wife demanded to do the cooking. When it came to me learning, there were a lot of things I wanted to do. Beyond recipes and appliances and ingredients and such, I wanted to learn all of these time saving knife skills you see used in cooking shows, so I observed, watched videos, and I just cut as best as I could. The older knives I have are sharp and in almost new condition, but they always seemed not so sharp as I learned these knife skills. I know I could sharpen them, but the blades are all painted a different color, and sharpening would just rake the color off of them. When this came in, it took no time to show one of my fingers how sharp it was. Unlike my older ones, this knife demanded respect, or I'd pay for it in blood. Even still, that's not what had my jaw dropping. I'd picked up some yellow peppers for a meal and was just going to slice off the outer sections from the core. I went to bring the knife to the top of the pepper to start slicing it from one end to the next. As I was preparing it to be put on the pepper at the right angle it never went to the top because as I was bringing the knife in line to apply any pressure downward to cut, the knife literally fell through the pepper and was halfway down the side of it before I even knew I was cutting it already. Julienning the peppers was flawless. Since then, I've bought 4 other knives from this company, and I've not regretted it yet. I will be getting more.

This knife is awesome. Perfect weights, comes really sharp. It made short work of a whole rib roast. I definitely don’t regret my purchase.

Gorgeous and functional boning knife
This 9" boning knife is both pretty and functional and a steal at the current $40 on Amazon. It comes in a very nice box suitable for gifting, has "Dragon Riot Japan" on the box lid, lovely red lining, and the blade tip was protected with a plastic cap. It does NOT have a blade sheath though for storage so be careful if you put it in a drawer instead of a knife block. It appears to have a single piece of steel for the blade with the appearance of a Damascus style process but for a lot less money that most. The single tang sits in a solid wood handle with three rivets, one of which is more decorative. Tha handle has a nice feel to it and is comfortable to hold and use without slipping too much, although I prefer a little more of a blade block there especially when working with raw meats. It is exceptionally sharp and easily sliced through a tomato with only the slightest pressure applied. The blade is only moderately flexible for a boning knife but easily dispatched deboning a chicken, trimming a rack of lamb, and rack of ribs. The blade tip is effective in sliding into the meat and by the bone, although I don't think the blade is flexible enough for deboning fish, so I can't give it 5 stars. Still it is a solid knife with a visually pleasing blade,

Best knife in the house
Well this knife is just amazing. It's a great size, easy to handle, and razor sharp. I'm not a knife expert, but I was blown away by how sharp the knife was. I'm used to an old serrated set, and this was a night and day difference. The grip feels great, the edge is honed easily by our honing rod, and it's just a joy to use. The only problem is that it's always dirty now - because everyone chooses to use it! The style of the knife is beautiful, and in a style that very much appeals to me and fits in with any other knives in your block. For the price, this thing is an amazing deal. Heavily recommend.

Very sharp
This is pretty nice looking knife, and is extremely sharp. I've found that it is a very nice paring knife and make nice clean cuts through whatever your cutting. Cutting a tomato is always a good test for sharpness, and the Dragon Riot knife does this with flying colors, clean cut with no ragged edges. Even slicing a soft tomato into thin slices was no problem. The handle is well made and contoured to feel good when using. I can't attest as to how long it will hold its edge, but considering how I plan to use it I suspect it will stay sharp for a long time. Like any high-end knife, it's important to hand wash when you're done and dry it right away.

Love this so much!
Such an amazing little knife. The quality is great. The wood is fantastic, the steel is perfect. I always oil my knives after every use, so I don’t know if this will rust if left alone for a long time, so I can’t comment on that, but the overall quality and look of this knife is really amazing. Very happy with it.
