Bang for buck

I use it commercially. It has a nice sharp blade, light weight, great for vegetable prep. I have also cleaned some loins with it, however. I would not suggest that for every day use. I think as a personal kitchen knife, you'll be happy with it for years. In a restaurant, still will last, but again, stick to light work on it. Very cool design!

Great Knife for moving from beginner to a more advanced cook

This is actually my second time purchasing this knife because it is such good quality for the price. It slices through things very easily and satisfyingly. My first one did dull up after a few months but I bought a sharpener and it was good as new.

Good knife

This is a good knife. The coating really helps with friction. A little on the thin side and hollow handle but it holds an edge and cuts smooth. Worth the purchase.

Quality and value - top shelf!

There's only one word to describe the OOU 8-inch chef knife - WOW!!!  Seriously, this is by far the nicest knife we have in our kitchen tool set.  As cutlery goes, this 8-inch knife checks all the boxes - high-carbon stainless, comfortable handle, nicely balanced,  excellent sharpness, should handle a variety of tasks, and its ease of use.   Perfect for the novice in me.   I'm guessing the pros will love this thing too.  The 8-inch knife has a very nice aesthetic black finish.  It's dishwasher safe although we always hand wash and dry all our cutlery.  While I can't get into all the technical aspects of the blade - the 15-degree edge or the 27-step grinding process, the Cerablack + AgShield protective coatings, and such, as an end user, I can say this knife is extremely sharp - almost needs to come with a "yellow alert" warning label (sarcasm).  Our first usage was slicing breakfast sausage - the cuts were clean, smooth, fast, and precise.  Everything I look for in fine cutlery.  Form, function, and quality seem spot on.  This knife's price and value are excellent.  A great bang for the buck.  With proper care, it should provide a life-time of excellent service.  I only have one very minor issue, and this by no means impacts the overall quality or value of this product.  While the knife does come in a rather nice presentation gift box, I would like to have a storage/protective case or blade guard for everyday usage -  even if it were an option. For now,  we have to keep it in its original box for storage.  Overall, still 5-stars and a recommended buy.

Good

I am very satisfied with the Santoku OOU black blade knife. Since I use it in my kitchen, it has replaced several knives I had - its edge is very sharp and allows precise cuts without effort, whether they are vegetables, meat or fish. The black sheet not only has a modern and elegant style, but also seems to help food not to stick so much when cutting.The ergonomics of the handle are very good; it feels firm and comfortable in the hand, which allows you to work for longer without fatigue. The quality of the steel is remarkable: so far it keeps the edge very well and looks resistant to daily use. Cleaning is also simple (although I always recommend washing by hand to preserve it better).
