Huusk Japanese Chef Knife,8" Hand Sharpen Japanese Gyutou Knife

This is the chef's knife version of the meat cleaver knife I previously bought and love it more! As I said in my other review, I was referred to this brand by one of my chef colleagues and I'm glad I discovered it. Cosmetically it's beautiful and looks like it cost 3 times the price or more. The natural pattern wood handle is beautiful and has a great feel with awesome weight balance. The carbon blade has a beautiful handcraft pattern of dimples which is very cool and unique looking. Of course with any knife it's all about the sharpness of the blade and this blade is super sharp and has retained it's sharpness after weeks of all day use in a high volume production kitchen. The other thing is the price; this is a great professional level knife at an affordable consumer price. That's it, I recommend this to anyone looking for a great valued knife!

This knife is my new everyday knife for all my meal preparations!The design is absolutely beautiful! I love the wood design handle and the sleekness of the whole knife. It is also perfect shape and size, making it perfect for daily kitchen use.Along with the amazing design, this knife also cuts great! It is very sturdy as I cut into an apple (I have had knives that are flimsy causing it to cut crooked), and as you can see in the video I posted, I am able to easily cut off the skin as well.

This is a very sharp knife which is the reason I bought it. Cut my finger 2 times the first time I used it. It’s beautiful and easy to use. Well worth the price.

Very sharp and balanced

The knives look great, are very sharp, well balanced, and wood grain is beautiful. However, a couple of things, first, and most obvious, the sticky brown residue on the blade. I am glad I opened the package to inspect before I wrapped them for a gift. Secondly, the cap at the end of the handle is not smooth on the edges connected to the wood and are not flush with the handle. I provided a zoomed in pic of the handle end. I purchased three knives of this set and all of the handles are this way. Another knife wasn't sticky, but had sharpening dust residue clumped in the hammered texture. All of this can probably be solved with a good wash, bit when you purchase something new, the expectation is that the item will be clean and presentable. I would have been embarrassed if I had given the as the gift and that person opened a dirty set of knives.

Fantastic looking knife. Well made and very sharp. I love it!

"forged", this word alone is worth your money. Any forged knife is generally cost a lot of more.I have a Shun knife as well, it donot feel much difference while using them. Since this knife is not as hard as Shun knife, so expect to have it sharpen more often. But less hard also means it is easier to sharpen.I would recommend this knife to my friends.

estaba algo dudoso en cuanto a la calidad de este cuchillo pero al sacarlo del empaque lo examine es un hran cuchillo muy bien balanceado y su filo exelente muy buen material! lo probe y corte verduras y carne y debo decir que es muy afilado!
