MITSUMOTO SAKARI Professional Japanese Knife, 7 inch Hand Forged Santoku Kitchen Knives, High Carbon Stainless Steel Chef Cooking Knife (Rosewood Handle & Sandalwood Box)

Really excellent, comfortable to use, wonderfully sharp out of the box, handles well, and once used it becomes the tool you reach for when preparing vegetables. This is heavier than the other nakiri knife I have, and also rather wider. It is part way to a traditional vegetable cleaver, but much easier to handle, and lighter. It came out of the box with a nice factory edge, ready for use, and passes the usual sharpness tests perfectly. The dimpling is presumably intended to reduce sticking of food when slicing. It helps to some extent, the slices seem to slide off more easily than on a completely smooth blade, but they do still stick. It looks and feels like a quality item, and when you use it you realize what a difference a real quality product makes. Finely chopping vegetables for instance is so much quicker and easier than even with a well sharpened good brand German chef's knife. The tip is squared off and not pointed, of course, but if this worries you, don't let it. As soon as you use this you realize that you don't need the traditional chef's knife point at all. It is unlike the other nakiri in having a sharp pointed corner at the tip. This turns out to be quite useful in fine cutting of celery or carrots, where the procedure is first to slice into julienne strips and then to chop finely. Get it, you will be glad you did. On sale its a bargain. At full price its an excellent buy too. This is a lifetime purchase, and one of your children will be using it for their lifetime too. Sharpening (as with all Asian kitchen knives) takes some care. Either get an Arkansas fine or extra fine oil stone, 8 x 2 inches, and be very careful to get the angle right, or get a pull through sharpener SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR ASIAN KNIVES. The angle of these is more acute than European ones, and using a European pull-through will ruin the edge.

Overall the knife is good quality, sharp blade, sturdy and comfortable and looks really nice. Unfortunately however the tip of the knife I received was bent, severely over worked whilst sharpening by the looks of it. bought this knife for its ability to do delicate work and is now effectively useless to me. EDIT) After my review the company kindly sent me out a replacement knife within 4 days, this knife is all of the above with a straight blade. I’ve used it in the kitchen for multiple tasks and it’s flown through every task with absolute ease, highly recommend for its price.

Omg, this is great. Perfectly weighted, super sharp, nicely made Japanese carbon stainless steel knife. Highly recommend. Made in Japan...blade is super think and heavy.

Sharp..very

knife is great so far and really nice weight to it. unfortunately though the knife oil seems to have leaked out during delivery and left a bit of a stain on the knife cover and soaked into the fabric a bit

Just an awesome knife.

Hi, this was the second knife I brought from yourselves at the same time as the first one to find there was a defect with the first blade. I had the other one sent as a gift and I was not surprised to find that the blade in now broken. I was really hoping that this one would hold up but I guess not. I will be looking to recieve a refund for this product aswell. It such a shame considering they are a nice looking product but sadly do not live up to the expectation I had for this blade.

Long term durability to be decided, but this is now the pride and joy of my every day cooking prep. It arrives ready for use (sharp!) and feels sturdy and comfortable. The handle looks non-ergonomic, but in fact it works wonders for grip. Really happy with this purchase.

Also es wurde Zeit für ein neues Küchenmesser und so hab ich mal geschaut was es so gibt, bin auf Grund der guten Rezensionen dann schließlich hier hängen geblieben da der Preis schon verlockend ist. Eigentlich wollte ich ein Messer eines anderen Herstellers (nicht auf Amazon verfügbar) aber da dieses wieder bei ca.100€ lag und halt optisch nicht so ausgefallen ist hab ich mich für dieses hier entschieden (das andre gibt es dann irgendwann noch mal). Zügig angekommen musste es auch direkte ausgepackt und ausprobiert werden. Zur Verpackung kann man sagen es sieht gut und wertig aus für den Preis. Das Messer selbst sieht auch wirklich fein aus, der Griff und die Klinge sind super gefertigt und es liegt gut in der Hand. In den letzten Wochen wurde es ausgiebig getestet und bin sehr zufrieden damit, Schärfe ist ausreichend und bis jetz muss ich nicht nachschleifen. Nach der Nutzung wird es von Hand gewaschen und danach mit dem beiliegenden Öl behandelt. Rost ist auch keiner da 👍. Ob es jetzt aus Japan ist oder nicht ist mir persönlich egal, die Leistung zählt und das passt für mich. Man muss aber auch sagen das man hier keine Wunder erwarten sollte was die Schärfe angeht, es ist Scharf genug um zb. Tomatenscheiben recht dünn zu schneiden und das reicht auch eigentlich, dennoch hab ich auch schon schärfere Messer in der Hand gehabt. Aber alles in allem ist das Messer zu dem Preis absolut in Ordnung und wer nicht ganz so viel ausgeben will kann hier zuschlagen.

Ben bu ürünü almadım, alamadım çünkü yurtdışından gelemedi. Gümrük yüzünden.

super
