Review on GreaterGoods Japanese Damascus Chef Knife and Magnet Holder Set: VG-10 Steel, 8 🔪 Inch Kitchen Knives, 100% Ultra Premium, Sharp Cutting & Chopping, Ergonomic Handle, Durable & Balanced by Anuj Mierzejewski

GREAT BALANCE just above index finger. The handle is a good size and shape for large hands (I wear large gloves to keep my fingers from cramping in the grip). Essential (someone might find it too heavy, but not for me). A very natural and organic feel that allows me to easily switch from chopping to slicing to moving across the board. Good curvature for grinding. Quick and precise turning so you can use the back to scrape your wares across the board and then quickly back/flip the knife to cut more. Sharp out of the box (hand hair test). I've had many knives and this one is designed to last a lifetime. I really like the handle with a blunt end (sometimes you need the power of a hammer). Beautiful but interesting, they play with damask a little. Hopefully it will become a little less dramatic with time and patina. But make no mistake - for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find anything better.
