I have, however, received a few of these that are quite warped at the bolster. I have a forge and powerful torch so I can correct it, but buyer beware, you may have to heat and straighten these before scales go on. ### ⭐ Poor Quality *by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021* The damascus pattern is great and the blade is very sharp. However, it seems that the handle is not integral and was instead poorly welded on to the blade. As you can see from the attached pictures mine snapped as I was trying to finish the handle. To make matters worse I was almost done! It's too late to get a refund but at least I can offer a warning to others. To clarify, I have purchased this knife before and it worked great but this one didn't work out. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This knife really slices! *by E***2 on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2019* The media could not be loaded.  As a custom assembler I am always trying to ensure that my clients are getting the absolute best product for their price. When it comes to the better chef knife steel this KATSURA blank is really a great little blade! It came out of the package razor sharp, with all of the lines (bolster edges) perfectly straight and angled... the skeletonized handle frame is plenty strong but also cuts a lot of weight allowing more creativity w the handle without adding excessive weight - a major plus! It is always nice to not have to carve steel out of a handle to shed grams... I didn't use the provided fasteners (as I match mine to my wood) but they were provided including a custom mosaic accent pin....This knife was made for a guy who had never owned a "real" chef knife so I was overjoyed to hear that he spent the weekend "cutting things" with it... little did I know that he meant he was simulating Knife Fight events in his yard (I was thinking he was dicing onions...) but then the videos started coming in.... It is always icing on the cake to have such a happy customer - with this product, I don't think I will ever have to worry about it. Great steel, taken care of, will always cut like a dream... And this one definitely does! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/88632764-woodworking-project-kit-gyuto-chef-knife-blank-8-inch-50mm](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/88632764-woodworking-project-kit-gyuto-chef-knife-blank-8-inch-50mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
