Review on Experience The Ultimate Precision: Handmade 8 Inch LongQuan Santoku Knife With Full Tang Pear Wood Handle And 9Cr18Mov Steel - Perfect For Home Kitchen And Restaurant - Comes In A Gift Box by Gary Flick

Shipped quickly in a nondescript box w Asian characters. (I don’t want to assume they’re Japanese as I don’t know the language, but it is in the item description, but the label says "made in China) The blade was covered simply with a stapled piece of cardboard.But, the knife is a beauty. After a thorough scrubbing, I set out to test this baby on a massive beef tenderloin. I watched in glide through this hunk of beef in awe. 10 steaks and a smaller chateaubriand less than a min later.No force needed, my wrist didn’t hurt at all.I initially wanted to take a star off for packaging as I meant it to be a gift, but I’m keeping this puppy. Very impressed. Worth the cost.
