Review on 🔪 ZHEN Japanese VG-10 3-Layer Forged High Carbon Stainless Steel Light Slicer Chopping Chef Butcher Knife/Cleaver: A Reliable 6.5-inch TPR Handled Cutting Tool by Nathan Pintac

The knife is really sharp, but due to the texture and thin blade, whatever you cut will stick to the material. I wasn't a big fan of the rubberized grip either and would have preferred a riveted one. I washed it in the dishwasher several times and rust stains appeared immediately and there was noticeable deterioration in texture on the rubber of the handle. I know it's not meant for cutting through bone, but I tried it on a fishbone that's not really that strong and it caused the blade to break and go bad. I didn't feel bad because I wasn't very happy with the purchase. I know I abused it but I was hoping for a low maintenance knife. Next time I'll buy a knife made from German steel as it is said to be harder and more impact resistant than the harder and more brittle Japanese steel.
