Kuwata Nakiri Chef Knife, 7Inch Damascus Kitchen Knife, Professional Japanese VG-10 High Carbon Stainless Steel Vegetable Cooking Knife - G10 Ergonomic Handle with Gift Box

This Damascus chef knife has wholly elevated my cooking experience. As a young adult who loves experimenting in the kitchen, having a reliable and high-quality knife is essential, and this one delivers in every aspect. The 8-inch blade is crafted from VG10 high-carbon stainless steel, making it incredibly sharp and durable. Whether I'm slicing through vegetables or meat, this knife effortlessly glides through with precision, allowing me to achieve perfect cuts every time. Not only is this knife functional, but it's also beautifully designed. The Damascus pattern on the blade is stunning, and the ergonomic G10 handle provides a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended cooking sessions. It comes in a sleek gift box, making it an ideal present for family members or friends who share a passion for cooking.

I used this knife at work on a few hours with prep. It is flawless and not expensive.I own a variety of other name brand knives but Damascus steel ones are my favorite. The style of this is perfect, the handle is very comfortable and cuts everything with ease. It came very sharp which is good, packaging was nice the box stays shut so you can travel with this knife easily.Overall I highly recommend whether you’re a chef or a home cook or just a person who likes nice knives. I will definitely buy more from this brand.

It’s so sharp, light weight and cut a lot

Super sharp, good weight on the grip. A little expensive but good investment.

This is NOT a real Damascus knife. It is incredibly sharp and is great for slicing/chopping but that's where the quality ends for the most part. I'm not a chef by any means but I feel like this does a great job at cutting/chopping but maybe that means I've never owned a really sharp knife before. It is nice and heavy but not too heavy and it feels "balanced" I guess....again, not a chef.I am disappointed in the handle construction. The tang seems to be just inserted into the blue...plastic? I would think if you are paying this much for a knife the blade and tang should go all the way through. I also noticed there are no bolts keeping the handle together so the blade is either glued into the handle or heat molded maybe? Either way, that seems a tad cheap for a blade of this cost and probably means it wont last. I shined my iPhone light through the blue plastic part to see if I could tell how the blade is connected. I don't know, that tang looks a tad thin. This is also reflected in the blade's alignment with the handle. You can even see a gap between the blade and tang where it connects.I'm still going to use this as my daily chopper and slicer but I am not anticipating it lasting as long as a more quality knife.That being said, the price of this blade is a little out of touch of it's own quality and with reality.

Got this for my husband and he loves it ! Slices real nice.

Pros:- Lightweight- Sharpness/edge 8 out 10 before first use; I'm torn on sharpness - the edge did not roll but did not hold sharpness after a week of use on cutting meat and veggies- I really like this knife for chopping veggies, light and fast in a good wayCons:- Cost is not justified at $70 for quality and construction- Thin blade, does appear to be Damascus over core steel laminate; the blade is too thin but it is flexible without yielding- Blade sharpness 7 out of 10 after a week of relatively light use- Great at chopping veggies but it is not a great scooper spatula and I found the dimples actually caused more finely chopped veggies to stick to the bladeI'll continue using this knife and will update the review accordingly; however, my impression is I would save my money for a better-quality knife without the bling.
