FINDKING Eternity Series Japanese Chef Knife with ABS sheath, Professional Kitchen Knife, 9Cr18MoV Damascus Steel Blade, Resin Octagonal Handle, Sharp, for Meat Cutting, 8 Inches

The knife came in a nice box with a velvet-flocked foam cutout and a magnetic closure -nice touch. It arrived razor sharp as any decent knife should. The Damascus pattern on the blade iss beautiful and the hammered dimples only add to the attractiveness. What drew me to this knife was actually not its attractiveness, but the fact that 2/3 of the vertical surface of the blade is dimpled which should make for excellent food release -an important consideration when slicing brisket. The other feature I was looking for was the octagonal wa-style handle, which very few brisket knives have.Several reviews complained about two things out of what I feel to be ignorance: the octagonal wa handle and the lightness of the blade. . .The handle: I actually prefer the octagonal wa handle as I not only find them to be comfortable but easier to articulate precisely than a rounded western-style ergo handle.The blade: This is a Japanese-style knife. They are supposed to be light. The steel is much, much harder than German steel and thus less mass is needed in the blade to maintain its shape and rigidity, yet they are not fragile despite their light weight. A thinner, lighter blade is preferable to a thick heavy Wusthoff as you can articulate the blade more easily, more precisely, with less fatigue. As the blade is extremely hard (62 rockwell), it will need to be sharpened far less often than its German steel counterparts.The blade appeared to be bent, as it was not in-line with the handle, but as the entire 12" length of the exposed blade was perfectly flat, so I think it is far more likely that the blade and tang were not bent at all, but that the injection molded wa handle was simply molded off-axis onto the blade (these are mass-produced in China which is why it is $70 instead of $300). I sent it back and Amazon sent me a new one. The new one is perfect.

I have no need for the use of any of my other knives having this Japanese knife with the longer handle longer blade very very sharp blade goes through everything like butter I'm looking forward to see what other knives they have available to buy these are truly amazing

Good knife

It's a very nice looking knife. Fairly sharp out of the box. Sharp enough to cut paper easy enough, but not razor sharp and won't quite pass the tomato test. That said, it will take a sharper edge if you put it to a whetstone. It seems to hold that finer edge fairly well, at least with my use on a rubberized cutting board. The handle is comfortable to use and fairly well balanced for the knife. It is plastic/resin, if that is a detractor for you. My only minor complaint was I thought the "sheeth" that come with it was actual a full enclosure of some kind. It is not. It is a hard plastic sleeve lined with red flocking that slides over just the blade face. It's more of a 'U' shaped clip. I suppose it willkeep your fingers safe if you want to store it in a drawer, but it won't protect the whole blade from humidity or ware or stay on if your bagging it for travel, plus it's a bit of a hastle to put on. If you're looking for a modestly priced knife that looks good and performs fairly well with some care, it's certainly a good option.

I got these knives on a whim because I work in professional kitchens. I like to have knives that are razor sharp and will give me the best bang for my buck. These knives are AWESOME! The balance and weight of each knife is “on point” (No pun intended). Everyone I work with has asked me about them. The high wear environment of the kitchen doesn’t affect the knives at all. The resin handles means that there isn’t any drying out like wood and I can appreciate that. All in all I am very happy with these knives! Thank you findking!

It’s good for like 3 months then breaks

This knife is a counterfeit. I've bought Kiritsuke knives for over 500 dollars, and this blade is every bite as sharp, balanced, and versatile. It is a 100 percent winner. I wish that they were making them a couple of years ago...This blade is a great value.

Proud I raised a man who loves to cook. My son is very impressed with this knife. I can't wait to try his culinary masterpieces.

Very adequate pairing knife that is not going to break the bank. I strop it maybe once a week and it comes back razor sharp.
