## Description

For day-to-day chopping, slicing and mincing; it dices onions and peppers, makes slender "matchstick" French fries and thinly shreds cabbage; the softly curved edge allows for a gentle, even rocking and gliding motion as you cut.

Review: Fantastic Knife, Beautiful and Functional - I love the weight distribution of this knife and the patterns on the metal blade. Great knife. It does require near immediate hand washing and drying to avoid water spots on the blade. This knife benefits a lot from sharpening with a whetstone to keep up its initial cutting ability.
Review: Great knife - This knife has an excellent feel in the hand. The handle flows from the blade like a piece of art. I fell in love with Japanese steel ever since I saw Kill Bill, and whenever I use this knife I feel like a Samurai. The blade is beautiful and holds a an edge the is like non other. This knife was a gift from someone close to me, initially I thought I would like another knife with a more prestigious name, but after using this knife for a year, I was so impressed, I bought some to give as gifts to other people who also appreciate its quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous knife
*by D***Z on December 14, 2013*

I was looking to replace my other damascus kitchen knife that I broke the tip off of. I have had that knife for some 20 years and it's the only knife I use for all things cooking. I did some reading and research and was about to buy this very knife from my local Bed Bath and Beyond for a bit more than I got from Amazon, just had to wait a touch for shipping. So far the knife has performed well. Amazingly sharp and seems to hold the edge. (then again I don't cut on glass or plastics or other dulling surfaces. But a good sharpening never hurts and I really like the folded steel blade. You don't see many kitchen knives like that.
