MSY BIGSUNNY 7 inch Deba knife Kitchen Cooking Chef Sushi Knife High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade with Rose wood Handle

It is exactly what they tell you it is. It's a cheap, $50 deba with surprisingly good build quality. The handle is beautiful and highly unexpected at this price point and the tang is nicely sealed at the handle. The blade has heft, is nice and sharp ootb and the logo isn't obnoxious like a lot of these Amazon knives are. This isn't a true single bevel knife but it works just fine as one. If you manage your expectations for this $50 knife from Amazon it will probably exceed them a bit.

BigSunny does it again. These are good knives! This is my second knife, my first being a yanagiba. Both have perfect shapes. Grinds are perfect and correct for these single bevel knives. Handles are properly shaped, comfortable, and have no gaps anywhere. Fit to the blades are superb. Not sure of the steel they use, but it's not bad. Holds an edge decently well and sharpens easily. If they used a more premium steel these knives could easily sell for a few hundred dollars. I personally think they under price them as it is. Great job with these knives. Keep it up BigSunny!

Damn I did not expect it to be such a good knife. I wanted a heavy deba to do some more heavy work in the kitchen. For the price I did not think that it would be sharp and that I would have to grind it on my Wheatstone for a bit. but this thing came in super sharp. The handle fits great in the knife and as a nice heft to it. Great deba.

It looks nice but has a strange design and the blade itself is far too thick. The comfort is off due to the weight of the blade, if it were trimmed down a bit instead of having a large piece of steel, it would have been much better. The blade being flat on one side makes it look incomplete

Overall I would rate this deba as acceptable given the price point and steel quality; however its not a true single bevel knife. Solid heft and thick spine as you'd expect from a Deba style, and the handle (oval) is of good quality and feels well secured. As others have complained the collar or ferrule can be loose, but it doesn't move unless you physically force it; if this truely bothers you then a drop of super glue will fix the problem. This is purely cosmetic and doesn't impact the strength of the blade/handle connection. Blade geometry: For those interested, this knife is NOT a true single bevel knife. The face side of the knife consists of the flat face and shinogi line, and a ~2mm secondary bevel as the true edge. The rear of the knife is unfortunately completely flat, and has NO traditional concavity and as such cannot be sharpened in the traditional manner.
