SYOKAMI Cleaver Chef Knife with Herb Stripper, 7" Asian Kitchen Knife 3-in-1 Combined with Chef's Knife, Santoku, Nakiri for Slicing, Chopping, Dicing, Mincing, Housewarming Birthday Cooking Gifts

Well made knife. Heavyweights. Super sharp. Great price with coupon. Slices through stuff like butter. Arrived quickly in great packaging to prevent damage. I do wash this by hand and dry it immediately, as I do all my knives. They last longer that way.

This is a really nice, solid knife. It is sharp and looks nice, but is also useful for many tasks. 2 things that I didn't enjoy- 1. The stain on the handle dropped on the counter when wet. Granted you are not supposed to let this knife soak in water, my fault, but I just got it pretty wet and that happened. 2. When companies advertise "non stick". The Damascus pattern looks like it had the potential to stop this, but it doesn't. Now that also depends on how you cut/chop. These are minor issues I personally have. I bought 3 different types of knife, which is all I thought I needed. Turns out, I will be adding a paring knife too. I recommend the cleaver, boning/filet knife and the Slicing knife for a 4 PC collection.

Use this alot, good feel and stays sharp, great on Veggies and on meat. Great buy

I own 3 different styles of Syokami knives, each is SHARP and well made. Each is great to me, handle is solid, blade material is nice and strong and looks good. This is my go to blade for everything, weight is perfect for cutting meat or vegetables, even thinly slices.

The Syokami Cleaver Chef Knife has instantly become one of my favorite tools in the kitchen. It has the perfect blend of power and precision. The weight is balanced beautifully -heavy enough to glide through thick cuts of meat, yet nimble enough to handle detailed slicing and chopping. The edge is insanely sharp straight out of the box and stays sharp even after repeated use on tougher ingredients. The craftsmanship is top-tier, and the handle feels secure and comfortable, giving you full control no matter the task. It’s one of those knives that makes you WANT to prep food. Whether you’re breaking down meat, chopping veggies, or doing everyday cooking, this cleaver-chef hybrid performs beyond expectations. Absolutely a 5-star knife. Highly recommend!

I would give 5 stars if it had a sheath. Blade is very sharp and easy to clean. Good kitchen knife

Love this knife I used it today it cuts like butter. It cost it great for what it is. It's a well made knife and is light weight. It has a wood handle for grip.

It cuts like a Samurai Sword- Excellent Materials- The Handle is very sturdy and the Knife Blade is very Sharp and has a perfect balance when you cut. Cuts are Flawless. The 7" size is perfect to handle! I use it for, Herbs, Vegetables, Meats and fish- It performs very well.

UPDATE: I was contacted by Syokami regarding my purchase and sent me the Syokami 2 in 1 Cleaver Knife. This Cleaver Knife has a good weight once you pick it up. Definitely you get the feeling that this knife means business. I used the front end to slice chicken the other day. Automatically, I noticed a huge difference and upgrade to say the least. The chicken was already cooked but it was able to dice and slice it in no time with lighting precision. Very impressed. Since this is larger than the previous knife and it has a much larger blade, you just need to be mindful and take your time when cutting meats or bones. I appreciate the customer service from Syokami as they very much stand behind their product as well as providing excellent customer service. (The picture of the Cleaver is at the very end). Not sure where to start with this. Saw a few ads about different Japanese style Kitchen Knives. I need one especially when cutting meat. Vegetables, herbs etc. I was impressed when I came across the Syokami knife with the herb stripper. Seemedile.a pretty decent knife for a decent price. The presentation in terms of the box as well as packaging is quite nice. I immediately wanted to use this so I had taken out a whole chicken, with skin. (defrosted). After washing and drying the knife, I immediately went to work. In my opinion, the knife struggle to add slits into the chicken. I had to try a few times and even still, the cut wasn't amazing as well as the depth wasn't what I wanted.or expected. I tried with chicken drumsticks, with skin another day and the results were the same. My butcher knife would of been better suited. I'm sure when it comes to vegetables and herbs, this is amazing. But for meats, any meats really, you need something sharper and perhaps a bit more expensive. Thanks so much for reading—happy shopping!

Leave it or not my $400 knife just disappeared. Couldn’t understand where it could’ve gone. So I thought I would go for a couple of cheaper knives and this was the one that I chose, and the other one I chose was a two pack of a different brand. This has got to be my favourite knife of all time. It is super Duper super sharp, very effective with heavy duty work like turnips, squashes of all kinds. Cut through it like butter. And the quality and feel in the weight unbelievable. And it looks absolutely amazing.

Quality seems very good but knife was totally dull. ! Cost me $10 to have sharpened.

Good knife but when chopping chicken with bones, edges got dented.

The knife is sharp!! It slices beautifully.
