Sakai Takayuki Hammered Damascus 33 Layer Vg-10 Japanese Gyuto Chef Knife 180mm

I have had their 6" cook's knife for months and like it. Well made, looks good and is comfortable to use. Takes and holds a nice edge.So I decided to try this 7" chef's knife. It's an uncommon size that I like, A little larger, but lighter than a classic Wustoff or Henkels German 6" and much smaller, a whole lot lighter than a German 8" chef's knife, while up to many of the same uses.

This knife was a specially requested and purchased for a gift.

experience the next level of freedom this 8inch blade is not only beautifully designed it tops many of the more expensive blades as it is unfair to name names suffice it to say this just plain outperforms a great deal of the ones i own holding this masterpiece is a real joy and when you do you will begin to truly appreciate what a fine blade is capable of its weight its feel it nimble character barely scratch the surface so take the time to experience something thought not to exist but what you now hold is so very close to achieving that very concept

Nice sharp knife! But the tip chipped with relatively minor stress.

I bought this for my grandson that loves to cook. I am so impressed with its quality and beauty. My grandson absolutely loves this knife.

My son is a chef and is picky about knives and he loves this one.

Good mid level knife

Beautiful !!!
