When you work in a restaurant, you realize that all knives are sharp out of the box, but what sets a great knife apart is its ability to hold its edge and not need constant sharpening. I've been using this Geschickt Kitchen Knife, Damascus Utility Knife 5 inch for a few weeks to cut sushi rolls in the restaurant -- a sharp edge is necessary to cleanly cut through the dried seaweed. I really like that the sticky rice doesn't get stuck on the Damascus blade, and it is holding its edge decently -- I've had better but I've had a lot worse. I know others complain about the handle, but I have a small hand and I don't have an issue. I think it would be better with indentations for fingers (like Cutco or Wusthoff) but I didn't really mind the round handle. It didn't fall out of my hands, even with plastic food service gloves on. My really expensive Shun knife has a similar handle. The blade is a lot smaller than I thought, even though it said a 5" blade. It is really the perfect size to cut an apple or other piece of fruit, but not really to cut meat or large vegetables (like cabbage). It barely cuts through two sushi rolls side by side. I think it's a good knife, especially for the price.

I have another knife that looks similar to this one and that I love. I make bread every week - I have quit paying for or eating bread from the store so I need a good sharp knife to cut bread slices or if I make hamburger or submarine buns, to slice them open for a sandwich. This knife is an excellent, well-made and very sharp knife that slices right through my much denser bread - no matter the type of bread you buy at the store, it isn't like home made bread at all and my bread loafs are beautiful when they are finished cooking, but they are also a much denser bread that ANY you get in the store and that covers those "healthy" breads who obviously pump air into their loaves of bread! But when I want a regular sandwich from my loaf bread, this knife glides right through it and produces perfectly even slices of bread. Excellent knife and really nice looking as well.

I don't know what to say about this knife. The workmanship is good. The handle is well-finished and looks nice, but the knife is very heavy and stiff in the hand. I am not sure why they call it a fruit knife. It is not particularly good for peeling fruit because is is not maneuverable and takes off too much of the flesh. I immediately switched back to a lighter knife with a thinner blade. The knife is quite sharp, nice for slicing onions, but I use a larger chef's knife for that. As I wanted a paring knife, I am not sure what to do with this one. Interestingly, this knife will not stick to my magnetic knife rack. That makes me wonder what it is made of. All of my other steel knifes stick well. I wonder if it is the texturing that makes it slip off the rack. I will probably end up giving it to someone who has a knife block who needs a nice, sharp knife.

This beautiful knife is a compendium of fine knife things: a modern composite (G10) handle, high-end Japanese steel (VG10), a German brand name, and hammered/layered blade construction modeled after that of ancient "Damascus" swords. The 5" blade length, marketed as a "fruit knife", is a bit larger than most paring knives, but smaller than a chef's, making it a handy tool for all kinds of intermediate tasks. In practice, the knife feels comfortable and well balanced in my hand. True to its billing, it is razor sharp out of the box. I've found VG10 steel to have an ideal combination of edge retention and workability, meaning that I expect to be able to keep it nearly that sharp with regular honing (I use a steel) and occasional sharpening, at home. The product description calls the handle 'D'-shaped, a description that is often applied to left or right handed knives, where one side of the handle is flatter than the other. These can be a problem for me because I'm left-handed and frequently end up with the wrong handle. However, that's not the case here as the knife works equally well in either hand. If there's a 'D' to the handle, it is that the top of the handle is flatter than the sides and bottom. Overall it's beautifully shaped and very comfortable. It was shipped with the usual small clear plastic tip protector. A full blade protector would have been greatly appreciated but isn't a deal breaker. There are a lot of beautiful and functional 5" kitchen knives available at whatever price you're willing to pay. If this one matches your personal style, I don't think you would be disappointed with it.

I am not happy with this knife, and I will probably never use it. The blade is very sharp, and I have no complaints about the blade. The handle, however, is horrible. It is so incredibly wide and thick, I cannot get a good grip on it. I feel like I am holding a huge tree branch in my hand. It is very uncomfortable to try and hold and control, and I do not feel safe using this knife.
