Review on πŸ”ͺ 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 Redfish Rosenhoover

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Extremely sharp, great form factor, great grip, amazing price for the VG10. But I have returned.

Amazingly sharp out of the box, love the veg slicer form factor, the comfortable grip. But I thought the band on the blade was the shadow of the bezel and not the sandblasted part that feels "fluffy". They call it a "frosty finish" and are said to help with non-stick, which the first two reviewers say is bullshit. It ruins an otherwise nice knife. Also, I wouldn't want to cut the meat because of the pitted surface that bacteria live on. I find this incredibly stupid in every way. It's like buying a new car and wrapping it in wood to improve aerodynamics. I was so offended that I returned the knife. I bought Zhen instead of other brands with the same shape as it has a good fake review unlike everyone else who has a C rating or lower (meaning they have fake reviews and you are two or more stars out of must be deducted from the assessment). I really wanted the full version with rivets on the handle saying it wasn't ordered before I did some research and found out it was no longer made. I would have been just as disappointed and returned it as it was the same racing series.

Pros
  • Easy to use
