Review on 7 Inch Japanese VG10 67 Layers Super Steel Santoku Knife - Kitory Damascus Warrior Series With G10 Handle & Gift Box by Ken Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice little Serbian style cleaver for the money

The cleaver arrived with no problems. It is super sharp with a nice size and weight for a smaller cleaver style knife. Has a nice balance, decent weight, and the handle fits our hands well. Cuts veggies and meats with no problem. However, I would NOT cut bone with this one, except the smallest of chicken bones if you really need to. The 7CR17MOV is not a "super steel" as advertised. This grade steel is on the edge of the better, stronger steels, like 8CR13MOV one of its next higher end cousins. The advantage is it is easier to sharpen on a regular basis with simple sharpening tools. I give it a 5 star rating based on what it is for the quality/value ratio. A sheath included would have been nice since it is super sharp. Otherwise, with regular hand washing and drying after each use I expect this knife to last us a long time.
