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 Review

Great knife, looks good and works very well. You practically put the vegetables under the knife and they glide over it like butter. I hand wash and dry immediately. I'm just a house husband, so if I'm going to spend that much on a knife, I'll take care of it. It came with a cool magnetic holder that looks pretty easy to install, but I haven't installed it yet.

I've tried many chef's knives for less than $100 and this is definitely the best. I tried sharpening it with a wire sharpener and at first didn't realize I was wasting my time. I finally got my hands on a good electric sharpener and it took a few minutes to sharpen this very hard steel but now it is very sharp, shaves my hand easily and holds the blade very well. The damask pattern looks authentic and not printed like some knives I've used. Fits well in the hand and the handle feels very high…

Absolutely the best knife for your money. I cook a lot for my family and have found I need a pair of chef's knives for large dinner events. The fact that this knife is made from vg10 damascus steel makes it super strong, damn sharp and stays sharp longer. Since some whetstones are so expensive that they rarely need to be resharpened, this saves time and money. The knife is well balanced in hand, has a full shaft and I love that it comes with a magnetic holder so I always know where it is and…

It's my fault I always read reviews and never write. Ye! The quality of this knife is so amazing for the price that I had to make an effort. I really can't believe this knife was so cheap for what you get. No fancy packaging or fancy branding. but the quality was evident as soon as I got my hands on it. I can say that it is perfectly balanced, the damascus steel is beautiful, the handle looks amazing. but what you want to know is how it performs? That thing is a scalpel. without a doubt the…

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…

Advantages: 1) The contour of the handle is beautiful, the handle fits large hands comfortably. Cons: 1) The balance of this knife is not that good. The blade itself is thin, but the handle is heavy, making the back of the knife heavy. 2) The sides of the blade have been polished. Thinly sliced meat and vegetables such as potatoes ALWAYS stick to the knife because there is no air between the contact surfaces. This vacuum effect can disrupt your cutting motion as it creates completely…

UPDATE! I broke the tip of my knife as I said below called the company to order a new one and they sent me a new one within a few days for free! The 5 year guarantee is taken seriously. This knife is so good, high quality and under $60. I only got it today so can't speak on durability but it's a beautiful knife and I chop garlic and slice chicken breasts very thin (happy dogs) and now I'm working on my Instant Chicken Tikka Masala. I can't believe the way he's slicing chilled chicken breasts! I
