Samurai Series - 7" Cleaver Knife - Full Tang - Japanese Style High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knives - Pakkawood Handle with Mosaic Pin - with Sheath & Case

I bought this knife after my previous paring knife from a different set broke, and I specifically wanted something with a similar size and shape. This one turned out to be a great replacement. The knife is very sharp and cuts extremely well. It’s perfect for small kitchen tasks like peeling, trimming, and precise cutting. I also really like the design — it has a very sleek, modern look with a bit of a Japanese-style aesthetic, which makes it stand out compared to typical kitchen knives. It feels very comfortable in the hand and well balanced while using it. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. Great knife that looks good and performs really well.

Two Months Later - still love this knife. It's holding up well and the edge, while needing a little more touchup work than the Zwilling knives, remains super sharp. By a little more touchup work, I mean it needs about double the amount of passes on the steel to be where I want it to be before use, so an extra 10 seconds or so. For the price, it just cannot be beat. Most of my knives are Zwilling Four Star, not exactly the most expensive of knives but nice knives for the home chef aficionado. I had been wanting a nakiri knife for a while because my primary method of cutting is a chopping motion straight down, just cannot get used to the knife tip contact with the board rocking motion (but I keep trying/practicing!) and thanks to the relative parallel knife edge, it seems this knife style would fit the bill. Item arrived well packaged and in a box suitable for gifting. It weighs MUCH more than my santoku, which kind of surprised me, and has a very nice heft to it. It feels good in the hand and the balance, while not perfection, is very nice. Nothing is more dangerous than a dull knife in the kitchen so I take great pains to ensure all my cutlery has a very sharp edge. The edge on this blade out of the box is impressive to say the least, passing the old 'arm hair shave' test and paper cut test as though I had just edged the blade myself. It made short work of the veggies and the extra heft helped make the pushing through the produce that much easier. After several carrots, onions, bell pepper and bunch of celery, the edge retained it's sharpness as well as one of my Zwillings. Time will tell if it holds up to the rigors of daily use in terms of corrosion, but if you care for your knives as you should (no dishwasher kids, please) by honing before use and then washing, drying and properly storing, it should not be an issue, even with the cheapest of blades. I have a set of Chicago Cutlery blades with walnut handles that we received as a wedding present longer ago than I care to admit and most still serve us well to this day, but have been replaced one by one by finer steel. Not the Chicago Cutlery is bad but the edge retention isn't as good as a higher quality knife. For the price, I am shocked. This was going to be my 'let me see if I enjoy this style of knife before I drop some serious cash on one' test before I pass it on to one of the kids or return it, but this very well may be the knife I wind up keeping. Not a brand name snob, honestly, just a quality nut. This seems to me, albeit after limited use, to be worth a look if you are looking for this style knife. If my opinion changes, I will revise my review.

I’ve recently wanted to add a Chinese/Japanese style chefs knife to my collection. I did some research and came across this brand. The fit and finish on this cleaver is fantastic. No sharp edges or misaligned pins in the handle. The edge, grind and overall condition of the blade is on par with significantly more expensive knives. I’ve used this for a few different meals and I can genuinely say, it’s one of the more versatile designs that I have. Most of the time, I can stick to just this knife for the entirety of what I’m preparing. I can prep and cut food very quickly and the knife generally feels like it will last a long time if taken care of. My only critiques, are this. There’s a strange discoloration where the blade meets the bolster of the blade. Not sure if that’s from the grind during the production process, or if the blade and handle are two separate pieces of steel. Lastly, the website lists it as Japanese steel. However, the marking on the knife doesn’t match the renderings and only states “premium high carbon”. Overall, for the price and what you get with the knife. Can’t beat it for the price. Great addition to any home kitchen.

It's better grade slicing knife,it does what it was designed to do,slice meat.
