Super epic

Got this for my boyfriend it’s so sharp that it cut through his shirt without us even noticing LOL. He cooks so he uses it a lot and needless to say he loves it. It’s been a while now and it’s still goin strong. You can go a long while without sharpening. Also looks SICK

WOW, SUPER HIGH QUALITY!

VERY SHARP. It's not just about appearance with this knife. I didn't expect it to slice straight through the Amazon packaging like that. That's good quality sharpness. Although, I'm aware that you can just buy a knife sharpener for knives, this knife itself boasts very precise sharpness right out of the package! No need to pre-sharpen the knife itself for the next week or two. So it's ready to chop at a much more accurate precision and degree without needing a pre-sharpen first.I am very impressed with the construction of the handle itself, it has a nice smooth feel and weight to it as you hold it. I can feel comfortability while slicing vegetables or meats with this knife.I don't know how long this will last but I'm hoping that it can outlast quite a while. It looks like it's a high grade knife for a reasonable price.

Amazing value for the price

Hands down probably the highest value out of the box that I’ve seen and or felt. This is a crazy steal at the price point. Nice thick handle enables both rock and push type cutting. The grind is insane for the price as well. Not sure if it’s true Damascus but honestly it looks amazing and performs wonderfully. Great edge out of the box. Fit and finish isn’t perfect but it can be overlooked for the price point, and admittedly is amazing for the price.

Is it really VG-10? I don't know. Does it matter?

Pros:1. Great blade shape, length, and height2. Authentic eastern style handle with authentic blade weight balance (Black Sandalwood handle)3. Great value for the priceCons:1. It came somewhat dull, which required some after market sharpening (easy to fix)2. I'm not a huge fan of the mirror finish (cosmetic)3. The damascus etching seems a bit fake (cosmetic)With a tiny bit of sharpening this knife performs extremely well.Even though it's made in China, I would recommend this knife to anyone looking to get into using Japanese style knives and learning how to sharpen their own knives. It's insane (good) value for the price you pay. It's a good knife for anyone to learn on or use for everyday cooking and it's very affordable to replace if it was ever somehow stolen or broken beyond repair.---I don't know if it's actually VG-10, it doesn't have the same feel as my other VG-10 knives exactly but this knife does perform very well.This knife is extremely good at this price point. I bought one with an octagonal handle (Black Sandalwood) since it's the only one that seemed like a half-tang knife.The knife is balanced very well.The one I bought is blade-weighted meaning that the fulcrum is slightly more to the blade end. This is very good for when you use a pinch-grip with your thumb and finger on the sides of the blade and this is exactly the type of balance I would expect from a blade of this design.In comparison, most of the "Japanese" budget knives I've seen on amazon that look nice don't have the same balance as this one.The profile and shape of the knife is great. It's got a good height to it which I like a lot since my fingers are a bit long and have trouble fitting comfortably on more shallow knives.SharpnessThe blade was not very sharp out of the box, to my standards. To be clear I like my knives to be hair shaving razor sharp. Out of the box this knife bounced off of tomato skin, meaning that it wasn't able to cut through tomatoes super easily.To fix this I gave it a few passes on my 1,000 and 5,000 grit whetstones and a leather strop. It's now hair shaving razor sharp and performs extremely well, even when compared to my higher end knives in the $100-300 price range.

Great Knife for the Price

Was worried that the knife would be "too good to be true" for the price, but for this price you can't beat it. It looks beautiful and it comes pretty dang sharp. I am unsure why the 1 star comments say what they do. It is well balanced (can balance on finger between the start of the handle and the blade where it should be). My only complaint may be that the knife might be a tiny bit too light so you may need to be careful not to fracture the blade; however, that can be said about many knives that cost 200$ or more. I have worked with high quality knives since I was 12, and for the price this is a fantastic knife for any home cook. If you know how to properly maintain a knife I can see this one lasting someone a long time.
