Review: Great knife at a great price. Best Value by Far - Don't waste your money on the big brand, big name, big money knife. If you think you need to spend $150-200 bucks to get a quality knife, think again. This is the ONE for slicing. Comes sharp out of the box and looks great next to my Shun Damascus Santoku knife and rivals my Miyabi Henckel Chef Knife. This is not damascus but looks just as nice and I figured I'm only slicing occasionally and my chef's knife and Santoku do all the heavy lifting. We cook tri-tip over red oak here on the Central Coast of California and love how this knife makes the perfect slices for a great Santa Maria Style tri-tip Sandwich. Looking forward to trying it out on a pellet smoked brisket. Nice product and I highly recommend. I use a Ken Onion Work Sharp knife sharpener so when the time comes for sharpening it will be a force to be reckoned with.
Review: FANTASTIC knife! - I am going to give you a COMPLETELY honest review of the Kessaku Slicing Carving Knife - Samurai Series knife. This knife is a FANTASTIC value, quality, and deal at $45! I can say this, because I own a set of Henckels 5-Star PRO knives (and it's the "double man" series that you can see on the handle butts in my last photo which is the best quality that Henckels sells (for those of you who may not be familiar with this brand). Twenty-plus years ago, I paid $400 for the block with 4 starter knives and an additional $400 for a couple more knives to add to my set; however, I was not able to find the 12" Slicing Carving Knife in this brand to add to my set. After living sadly without this style of knife for so long, I finally decided to "splurge" and add one to my collection and was off searching on desertcart. Well, I stumbled across this gorgeous knife and thought I would give it a chance and purchased it knowing full-well that I could return it without a hassel if I was not completely satisfied. Well all I can say is that I was completely blown away by the QUALITY of this Kessaku Slicing Carving Knife - Samurai Series knife! The knife arrived in a gorgeous display box with a hidden magnetic closure, with a polishing clothe, and unexpected knife sheath/guard . It is such a beautiful, quality knife that I will probably continue to store it in the box inbetween uses. The handle is made of solid wood, the blade is 12" long, and the knife is 17" long from tip to butt. The knif even included a tip guard! Both the serious chef and the daily cook will appreciate how well the weight of this knife is distributed, making it easy to handle for being such a long knife. This company paid so much addition to detail that the Kessaku Slicing Carving Knife - Samurai Series TOTALLY rivals my Henckel knives, at a FRACTION of the cost of my Henckel knives! I viewed several other brands of similar Slicing Carving Knives on desertcart, most being more expensive than this one, and the majority of them did NOT include the sheath/cover and would require you to spend an additional $25-35 dollars to separately purchase a sheath/guard. For anyone starting or restarting out in living independently, I would truly recommend not just buying the Kessaku Slicing Carving Knife - Samurai Series knife but would recomeend buying the COMPLETE series of their knives! You will not be disappointed in this brand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for a knife you never knew you needed
*by C***E on January 2, 2021*

I figured a chef's knife would be all I needed for carving larger meats. Then, I smoked a brisket and I couldn't make nice cuts across the entire width of the meat easily. So, I figured I'd get a carving knife. It's not something I use often, but when I do, it would be nice to have. I received the Shun knife as a gift and loved it, but I felt bad about it being so expensive for something I use infrequently. So, I returned it and got this knife (plus some others for the same total cost). This knife cuts very well. It's super sharp and the high quality craftsmanship is obvious. It comes in a gorgeous box and has a simple, yet effective knife guard. That's a very nice touch considering it's too long for the knife block. The longer length makes it easier to make super thin, even cuts of ham, turkey breasts or brisket. For the price, it's hard to beat!
