Gorgeous whipped texture and incorporate traditional forging art and craftsmanship Review: Satisfied - Good product and fast delivery. Review: I got the 9 inch chef knife and the 5.5 inch pairing knife. The knives are very well made and have a much nicer look than what you get from more mass produced knives, they are also extremely sharp right out of the box. The larger Chef knife is a little large for people with smaller hands but the pairing knife is great for everyone and would be my recommendation. Previously, I typically used Victorinox knives as they provide a balance of cost and quality but these Japanese knives have much nicer steel and hold an edge way better. When I received the chef knife, the handle was slightly loose but they replaced the knife without issue. I would not downgrade them because of this defect because they were quick to resolve the issue without hassle. Great knives and will most definitely be getting more for myself or others. I was very pleased with the overall level of service. ## Features - JAPANESE TRADITIONAL HAND FORGED: Professional Japanese Chefs Knives inherits the Japanese hand forging method and combines it with advanced technology and materials.

It bears no country of origin. In the description information it refers to Japanese and under Country of Origin it also says Japan. How do you know where these knives are made; please tell me. Thank you very much. Mk **Q: Dose this come with warranty if it breaks?** A: This knife is made of Damascus steel. unless you severely abuse it, like using it for a tire iron, It is not going to break. These people seem to be very big on customer satisfaction and if you did manage to break it I am sure they would replace it, I am sure. **Q: Why does this Santoku not have the divots? Do veggies stick to the knife when slicing?** A: From here it looks like it does, unless you got the polished one, they will most likely have the stamp marks... the blackness kinda hides them, but no, I haven't had problems with anything sticking . **Q: Is the blade full tang? Specifically does it extend through the handle?** A: It’s not a full tang, it’s a hidden tang. It runs the length of the handle, yes, but full tangs are the entire width of the handle ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied *by D***N on 4 October 2023* Good product and fast delivery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***F on 30 January 2023* I got the 9 inch chef knife and the 5.5 inch pairing knife.
