Because of that I trust the Japanese to stay on top of the quality control. The steel should be decent with a good heat treat because Kai would be embarrassed if it won't hold an edge or breaks due to inappropriate hardening.When I received them I saw that my expectations were met. These are not the greatest kitchen knives but there are a lot of good qualities to them with nice thin blades for slicing, good grind lines and nice sharp edges.All that and a brand name made them a perfect gift for a woman who had a mismatched assortment of various kitchen knives.The very reasonable price was great too.I'm sure there are better Chinese made kitchen knives and more expensive Japanese and German made sets are probably better as well but unless you need a fancy name on your knives, this set is a really good value and was well appreciated as a gift. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a bartender, I love this knife for thin citrus wheels! *by K***T on June 27, 2025* Love this knife for slicing citrus, especially thin citrus wheels behind a bar. The serrated edge gets through lemon and lime wedges with ease. I will be getting another one for home, because it also handles tomato wheels smoothly. Also handles the intense commercial dishwasher machine we use at work. This knife is my shining star bar tool! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inexpensive yet high quality *by E***M on September 17, 2024* First time I used this knife, I demonstrated how sharp it was to my husband by cutting an onion in the air. Such great quality!!! It's very sharp, well designed so it's attractive, and it even comes with a blade cover. I am astounded at how inexpensive this knife is compared to pricy knives that were never nearly this sharp. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/6393052-kai-luna-7-inch-santoku-knife-with-sheath-and-soft](https://www.desertcart.us/products/6393052-kai-luna-7-inch-santoku-knife-with-sheath-and-soft) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
