5 Years Later...Still Beautiful and Still Cuts!

Owned this knife for 5 years and it still performs like day one. Razor-sharp edge, holds up to daily use, and the Damascus finish still looks stunning. Only picked up a couple of small chips over the years but that's probably due to my mishandling/treatment/maintenance than anything else; nothing that affects performance though.Excellent quality and worth every penny.

Very good. If you own one knife, this should be it

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love this. Definitely not rust-proof, but that's an easy fix if it does get rusty (vinegar). I always wash it by hand. Was VERY sharp right out of the box, and has stayed pretty sharp for the year or so I've had it. If I had to buy again, I might buy the version with the little divots on the side to keep veggies from sticking to it. I don't expect to need another, though, because this is extremely well-built (at least from what I can tell). I use it for pretty much everything except cutting bones and ice.Also like damascus steel is pretty but that's just a bonus

My favorite knife

I love this knife. It keeps a sharp edge with just a minimal effort. It’s the perfect size and shape for dinner prep. I have other good knives, but I nearly always reach for this one. I have sent two of them as gifts! Recently Tuo has added other kinds of knives that match this style. I sent one of them as a gift too! I have a Japanese paring knife that I received as a gift, but I usually use the Tuo paring knife that matches this one. Very practical and beautiful knives! At good prices too!

Functionally are great. Awesome value use everyday.

Ordered a few of these to have for guests or when my shuns are sent out for corrective sharpening.Functionally are great. Very sharp. Well balanced. Aesthetically awesome. I actually love using them. The only thing is that the steel seems to be not very hard. It gets dinged up pretty easily unlike my shuns that take a beating and have never dinged in the 10 years I’ve had them. I doubt the hardness rating.Good thing they aren’t expensive. Just plan to take appropriate case to file with each use and occasional sharpening and honestly it performs like a knife 3x the cost.Some have commented on design flaws which I will address:- heavy handle and drop issues. This is highly subjective. I like a beefy handle and I find it perfect.- knuckles don’t clear bottom when chopping. I do t have this issue. Ever. And I have thick hands. Unless you’re a giant...- knives unbalanced. Nope. I find them perfect.Awesome value for the price. Have used everyday for a year, cook huge batches, still look and function like new.
