Sushi Knife - Cut Perfect Japanese Sashimi - Crafted By Sagana Kitchenware - 8" Ultra Stainless Steel - Razor Sharp Blade - Prepare Sushi Like a Pro!

I was hesitant about buying this knife. I already have a great set of Global knives that I figured should meet all my needs. But I recently started making sushi and sashimi at home, and I noted that every professional sushi chef I have ever seen uses knives with a single bevel. I wasn't sure why, but I decided to try it myself. I learned that extremely narrow cutting part of the knife provides much better control for the thin-slicing required for sashimi. I''m still far from being a gifted sushi chef, but with this knife I'm cutting some pretty delectable slices.

I love the knife, however, the case is not designed to maintain knife when not in use, thus, other remedies are needed. As advertised the knife is razor sharp and pulls easily through tune, salmon, and typical rolls. Do not push forward when cutting as knife is sharpened to one side, thus it tends to bind on a pull/push action. Very pleased. Just wish they could have provided some form of a case to maintain when not in use.

The balance of the knife feels really good. The knife came well packed and very sharp. As far as the thickness of the top of the blade, well that was a little thick. All in all, the knife is of really good quality and I do recommend this knife.

I bought this knife as a gift for an accomplished cook. She loves using it and remarked, "What an instrument!" It is attractive and has great blade to handle balance.

The knife is dull. It came in with nicks on the sharpened edge. You will need to sharpen the knife once you receive it otherwise it will not cut sushi the way it should.

The knife is not nearly as sharp as I wanted it to be. Also, there were no instructions included for properly sharpening the edge.

too thick. does not slice through easily. gave it away.

A very good knife
