YOUSUNLONGChef Knife 8 Inch - Japanese Hammered Damascus Steel Professional Kitchen Knives - Razor Sharp - American Walnut Handle with Leather Sheath

This was a graduation present for my grandson. He loves to cook and absolutely loves this stunning knife. Sharp, nice weight, and beautiful damascus blade.

High quality product. Second knife from this brand that we own. The craftsmanship is impeccable.

Japan is all you need to know

It’s a nice knife. Comes in decent packaging. Seems pretty sharp. It did NOT come with the leather sheath as advertised.

I had high expectations for this knife. I noticed before I pulled the plastic cover from the blade that it had a large chip. Then realized it had severe edge damage and rust. Obviously abused as the packaging had no damage at all. Returning for refund.

I own dozens of VG10 knives and this knife is not VG10. The steel is cheap, waxy and brittle. The handle is overly huge to balance it. You can get a better knife for this price.

Dulled quickly after moderate to light first use. Had same issue with other knife in purchase. Looks cool though.

Good knife

für den Hausgebrauch zufriedenstellend mit einer guten Schärfe. Dunkle Hammerschlagoptik und Damastmuster gefällt. Für die Größe und Klingenlänge hat es eine gute Balance, leicht Klingenlastig und ein noch erträgliches Gewicht.

Il n'y a pas de secret. Vous voulez un couteau qui coupe bien, faut y mettre le prix

This is my first ever professional knife, although used at home daily. First impression: it is really sharp and good looking straight out the box. The box itself doesn't look "premium" but don't be fooled. As I'm writing this after couple months after purchase, and daily use, I can share my "first steps" experience. And those are great! If you, like me, used cheaper "razor sharp stainless steel" knives, and want to rediscover cooking and cutting technique, this one, or similar is for you.First thing I noticed after sharpening on whetstone is that the blade doesn't chip at all and leaves fine and smooth cutting edge, opposite to supermarket sets I used until now (please remember to use correct angle and sharpening technique to avoid disappointment). Honing the cutting edge would be helpful inbetween sharpening as the steel used seems to be really tough. That would apply to any quality knife, especially japanese, not only this particular one(based on my research before even thinking about buying over £100 knife - i would never regret a penny spent!)The knife itself is good looking and it cuts with minimal force applied, very comfortable grip. When taken care of, so far I can't see signs of use.I would surely recommend this knife for anyone who likes cooking and want to make the preparation process easier and more joyful.PS It is true that it is easier to cut your finger using blunt knife :-)

This knife feels very well made. It arrived nicely packaged and looks and feels high end. It’s very sharp, the handle feels nice in your hand and cuts things very smoothly. Though this knife is somewhat expensive it does seem that you get what you pay for.
