Review: Impressive knives. - Beautifully packaged! Very impressive. I bought as a birthday present. Exquisite knives, blades are sharp and made very well! I love these and my son is showing them off to everyone. The handles are uniquely balanced. Easy to use. Love these and highly recommend.
Review: Great knife for the price - I've been using this knife for awhile now and I've been impressed with it so far. It retains a nice, sharp edge, cuts well and feels good in the hand. I haven't had any chipping or rust so far, but I do maintain it properly and avoid using it on hard materials like bone or nuts. Which you shouldn't be using a Japanese knife for anyway. I also wash and wipe it dry after every use. If you're willing to treat this knife properly, it will serve you well and it's a great knife for the price, when you catch it on sale.
