ChefWave 8 Inch Chef Knife – 67 Layers of Ultra Sharp Japanese Damascus Steel - Professional AUS-10 Blade – Premium G-10 Handle, Comfort Grip, Hammered Finish - Ryori Kitchen Knives Series

purchased the Ryori kitchen knife series chefwave 8" knife. When the package arrived, it was presented in a very nice professional box. This was a good first impression. The appearance of the knife as described by amazon was very accurate. The heft and grip of the knife is very well balanced and contoured. The folds of the Japanese Damascus steel were apparent as well as the full tang construction gave this knife a solid appearance. The hammered exterior was very nicely done and it was polished to a very nice sheen. I used the knife on many different types of foods including, fruits, vegetables, puddings (kugels) etc. The knife sliced through these items very smoothly and accurately. It did a very decent job of cutting, and dicing. Overall, this a great professional knife for the price that I purchased it for. Definitely a knife to consider for a beginner or intermediate in the culinary field. I've based this review on higher quality and lower quality knives that I own.

My old kitchen knife was dull and was no longer cutting smoothly. So I went on Amazon and started to search for another knife. I came across the chefwave knife and decided to order and try it. However, the package came late because USPS lost my package. When it finally came I opened the package, the design looked really nice and sleek. I couldn’t wait to try it. It came with a knife cover which was a nice touch. The knife looked very sharp and shiny. I immediately went to test out the new knife. I’ve tried to slice fruits and veggies for a salad. The knife sliced right through those items with ease and the result was a nice clean cut. That same night I used the knife to help me prep dinner which is something I always dreaded because my old knife made it so difficult. I was so happy that I was no longer using the dull knife. The Chefwave knife made chopping and dicing so easy. It easily sliced right through the onions, carrots, potato and beef. I give this Chefwave knife a 5star rating. It is an inexpensive knife and would make would make for a great all-purpose knife. I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone who looking for a great knife with a great price.

I ordered this chefs knife with a friends recommendation and love it! I have used many chefs knifes over the year with different types of steel blades, but this one was perfect! The knife is beautiflly crafted. It is a solid, well balanced and weighted knife. I used it to carve a chicken and it cut it beautifully!! One cut and the chicken was off the bone! Then I used it to cut vegetables and it was perfect! I highly recommend this knife to all those who need a go to knife for your kitchen!!

I have been using the knives that we have had for years but none of them fit my large hands. This knife is beautifully made, well balanced and cuts through everything that I have put it up against like butter. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a better quality knife.

Super sharp out of the box. Beautiful construction- the hammered divots are spaced nicely, and the layers of steel are easily seen on the polished blade. I dropped a large spear of asparagus from about a foot up down onto the blade- and it fell to either side in two pretty pieces. I'll admit that I have already cut myself with this blade, but I was using it to slice a slippery beet, and I was bridging my fingers of the blade- which is stupid, don't do that.Yes, you can be a fruit ninja with it. I had some fun cleaving strawberries and limes all over my kitchen.

Five star ratings!This knife is a class act. I use knives in Thebes kitchen a lot! And I’ve been a search for the perfect knife. My condition were comfortable to handle and cuts evenly. This knife is a perfect. Firstly it’s objectively really nice looking but practically speaking it works like a dream and it’s so easy to handle. All in all, I am very very well satisfied with this product!

It was great to have the maintenance to stay sharp is challenging every use. It doesn’t stay sharp. But when maintained its good.

I like the fact that the knive is one of the sharpest knives I've bought. The first time I used it I cut both my index fingers. Not while using it but my hand just touched it slightly. I used it for cutting vegetables and it worked great.
