The media could not be loaded.  I must confess, I was initially hesitant to invest in the Acri Knives 8 inch chef knife, given the absence of any product reviews. It seemed I might be venturing into uncharted territory as one of the brand's first customers. However, any reservations I had swiftly vanished upon receiving this exquisite Damascus chef knife. Its superiority in craftsmanship and quality far surpassed any of the knives I've previously purchased from Amazon or well-established brand websites. I would even go so far as to say this knife far out preforms my Global G-80.The pivotal factor that nudged me towards Acri Knives was the promise of a blade hand-sharpened by the owner. I've been down the road with knives that boast being "professionally sharpened," only to discover that they're merely factory-sharpened and lose their edge within weeks. This knife stands as a testament to genuine dedication to the craft. It's a refreshing change to champion the 'little guy', and I'm thrilled to support Acri Knives, a budding seller delivering unmatched quality.I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any future products from this seller!

Be assured this knife is fantastic. Not only looks great great to handle and extremely sharp.

Hidden Gem of Amazon. I've been through my fair share of chef knives and thought I'd try my luck with this one not expecting much.This is genuine damascus steel and it shows because of how sharp it is. In the past couple of weeks I've abused this knife no end. Cutting on granite, cutting bones, etc. It seems indestructable. And you cant even see any marks on the blade still (see photo) (I wouldnt put it in the dishwasher though).It also looks like a proper Japanese chef knife, classy and expensive. I normally never write a review but am so chuffed with this I just had to.This Damascus Chef Knife gets 10/10 from me!

A nice looking knife but I definitely have sharper ones so a disappointment as it was given as a present to someone who wanted a decent kitchen knife.

This is a lovely looking Chef knife. Sharp and lovely to handle. I use it for all my cutting needs and stores beautifully in a protective guard so no cut fingers. The Damascus blade makes it look very stylish which my friends comment on. Definitely going to be used a lot as slices through everything with ease

Nice enough but it totally reflects its cost.

I love this knife. As i am cooking daily for my family , this is helping me a lot, i use it for meat and vegetables. Beautiffully made, the blade itself is designed to look good too and is incredible sharp. I highly recommend the ACRI KNIVES to everyone looking for a high-quality and well designed knife for their kitchen !
