Damascus Chef's Knife - Japanese VG10, 67-Layer High Carbon Stainless Steel, Pro Cooking Knife, Gyuto (8 inch)

My daughter has used this knife for a year now and I think this allows for a reasoned review.She was amazed at how sharp it was (I did a dad thing and like an idiot I shaved my arm and I can fully confirm it was razor sharp!)My daughter has small hands and she usually struggled to use other chefs knives because the handles were too large and therefore the knife was out of balance for her purposes. She also has a chronic condition which affects her joints and using large knives caused her pain. She finds this knife fits her hand and is perfectly balanced. She has treated this knife very carefully and stored it correctly and it has remained sharp. When it needs resharpening she will have it done professionally because she loves it so much.

We bought this along with the 6 inch knife for a Christmas present for our son. Price point is pretty good for a knife that appears this well made.First impressions are very good, well packaged in a nice box with a sheath.The Damascus pattern is stunning, although I admit I love Damascus steel.The handle is very nice looking and seems well shaped for a good grip.I can't comment on performance yet as it's a present.But I will update review when I get some feedback from the knife being used.

Easy to handle nice and sharp use it everyday

Bought for a present and he loves it. Very sharp and stylish

Wanted a new knife for the kitchen, this knife is super sharp and comfortable to hold. Very pleased.would recommend.

Beautifull knife. Bit suprised dinged it on a chicken leg though. handle is nice has a nice balanced weight to it

I bought both this and the larger knife, though incredibly comfortable to use with enough weight to not make mistakes whilst chopping, and quality blade - unfortunately the handle completely broke less than 6 months in so I cannot recommend this item. The blade is still in perfect condition mind.Without a handle though this is no longer fit for purpose and cannot function.

The knife stays sharp for a very long time time and cuts realy well
