Matsato Chef Knife - Perfect Kitchen Knife for Cooking, Chopping. Japanese Steel Knife for Home, BBQ. For Balance & Control, 6.3 Inch

UPDATE TO PREVIOS 3 STAR REVIEW: Originally, I rated the knife at 3 stars. I did get contacted by the seller and they offered me a full refund, so customer service and satisfaction gets 5 stars! As far as the knife after sharpening and playing with it, it's a keeper. They have a special going at the time of my second review, which I could have returned and bought, but too much hassle in my opinion!!! This knife is heavy compared to the other long blade knives I use (there are two long knives I use on a regular basis for chopping along with the two utility knives). I used it for chopping and slicing through things. For chopping, I probably will use my other knives, the motion to do chopping with this knife is different because the blade is curved (not picking on the knife, I have issues with my hands and wrists due to carpel tunnel and arthritis, so the motion to chop with this knife is a bit awkward for me). For heavy duty work, this knife is great. It has bumped to the top for doing the heavy duty work. I tried cutting the husk off of a young coconut, cut through Cartlidge and cut open Lobster shell on the extreme sides successfully. The knife didn't fare too well in cutting ripe/soft/juicy fruits in my opinion, so I'll stick to my utility knives for such tasks. I tried twirling the knife the way they do it in the commercials/ads, but I couldn't do it on my index finger, my pinky seemed to be the right size for the twirling, but I don't have any control when I twirl the knife with my pinky!!!! Overall, I'll give the knife a 4 to a 4.5 grade, their customer puts them closer to 5. OLD REVIEW: Packing is cute; they try to make opening the box feel like opening an iPhone package. I like the handle and the hole in the blade. From the description the knife was supposed to be razor sharp and of course Japanese. The knife is made in China and the blade was dull. I ended up sharpening the blade for couple of minutes to cut a tomato properly. Out of the box, the blade probably couldn’t cut through milk! As far as sharpness out of the box, my Victorinox and cheap Daiso knives were sharp right out of the box. I’ll play with this couple of more weeks and update my review! So far, it’s a meh!

I bought 3. One for myself and the other 2 for gifts. This knife is amazing, very sharp and keeps its edge. I highly recommend this blade, but be very careful, it's extremely sharp, not for use by children.

Bought a few for myself and my grilling buddies as a Christmas gift. Well made, sharp and comfortable to work with. Would definitely buy again! My friends love using them.

Nice knife. sharp, good balance. However, it does not live up to the hype. It's good, but it's not that good.

Absolutely love this knife. Bought them for all my neighbors for Christmas. Did a spatchcock turkey and this knife sliced right through it highly recommend

I actuallyl bought one of these for my white elephant, and decided to get one for myself as well. It was the star of the white elephant game too, EVERYBODY wanted it and it got retired FAST! The one I kept for myself, I use it daily! Looks great, sharp, shape fits perfectly in my hand, and the hole cutout gives me a comfortable, controlled grip!

Knife and case are great. It takes some maneuvering to get the knife in the case just right to be able to snap the snap. I love it and highly recommend this. I will be buying another one to put in my 72 hour survival backpack.

NOT REALLY SHARP LIKE ALL THE ADS SAY. GOOD LOOKING KNIFE THOUGH

Ich hatte schon paar Messer gekauft. War aber mit keinem so richtig zufrieden. Dieses Messer ist was besonderes. Anfangs dachte ich was soll das Loch in der Klinge ? Dadurch liegt es super in der Hand. Es ist sehr scharf und es bleibt auch scharf. Habe es noch nicht nachschärfen müssen. Mein Lieblingsmesser hab ich gefunden. 👍👍👍🤣

Un buen implemento para quienes les gusta el cocinar

Gehard staal, vlijmscherp zoals beschreven. Let op,het echte mes heeft un soort watermerk in het staal met de naam Matsato en de niet originele keukenmessen staat niets op en de schedes van plastic.

Good product for kitchen n outdoor use

Très bel écrin, très beau couteau, découpe finement tomates, oranges version carpaccio, le pain de campagne compact en très fines tranches. Demain je lève des filets de saumon pour tester.
