GRAND SHARP 5 inch Japanese Santoku Chef Knife, AUS10 3-layer High Carbon Stainless Steel Kitchen Cooking Knife, Professional Hand Forged Chef's Knives (Rosewood Handle & Gift Box& Sheath)

As a Sous chef I’ve used this knife as my daily workhorse for the last 2 years. Second one I’ve bought. This one has a sheath/Saya as an extra bonus. Took the blow of my other being stolen away. I sharpen it once a week, hone daily and it does me well. Decent weight. Size is long enough to cut striploins without being too long for Intricate prep.

I purchased the 7" Nakiri in AUS10.For a $40 purchase, this is an outstanding product.Balances well, came sharp right out of the box.Appreciate the wooden Saya.Will recommend it to others.If you are not accustomed to caring for a carbon knife, don't order this item.This is not stainless-steel.It requires more fines and attention.But the experience is worth it in MHO.

I had some questions about this knife and received immediate and satisfactory customer support. Buy this knife with the confidence that's its warranty will be honored.

I purchased this for cutting small products. it is beautifully crafted. People always compliment my knife

Great knife, I love it!!

Was a gift. It was well received and he uses it regularly. We don’t put in dishwasher and sharpen it as needed.

We got this little 5.5 inch "paring" knife to cut up dog treats, as it has a handy sheath and can be safely kept on the counter, freeing up my fine cooking knives for the people food. As an inexpensive knife (on sale from $30 to $15 for Christmas) my expectations were low. The knife turned out to be very well balanced and sharp. Yes, it needs to be cared for properly as any carbon steel knife, but it holds its edge well and can be easily sharpened when needed. The handle is surprisingly comfortable, and the wooden sheath works really well.

Before the pandemic, my wife bought half a cow from one of those share programs. It was delivered during the pandemic and was a lot more meat than you would think. Some of that meat needs a real butcher's knife if you want to be able to get through bone as well, so I did some research and decided to try this one due to it being a full tang and being a reasonable price. It is very sharp and proficient at chopping. I wasn't sure what to expect really with a knife this large, but from the balance to ease of handling, color me impressed. The presentation is not lacking either. There is a hook to hang your knife up, because honestly, what knife block is going to hold this beast? The knife has a hammered finish to it and it has a nice leather sheath for function and presentation. Overall, this is a beautiful but intimidating knife, but my wife loves it, and that's all that matters.
