🔪 OKAMI 8 Inch Chef's Knife - Asgard Series - High-Quality German Stainless Steel - Ultra Sharp - Solid Full Tang - Polished Mirror Finish - Includes Protective Edge Guard - Sleek Black Design Review

This is a great price for a very sharp, well balanced knife. I was so impressed with the first one I got for my husband that I bought this second one as a gift for a friend.

The balance is great and looks natural. When you put the knife on your finger on the reel, the balance between the blade and the handle is even. The curved handle is comfortable with plenty of room for your knuckles. Also very sharp out of the box. Same as much more expensive chef's knives.

Bye - I love this knife! I have a catastrophic shortage of sharp knives in my house, and we grill meat all summer. I was very excited to try this meat on a steak. Cut it the same way you would butter, both raw and cooked (yes, I rinsed well in between!). I also used to chop potatoes, which never tires my hands, and chop herbs. Although I'm not meant for thinner cubes, I like to use my knives in all-around conditions. Definitely a good knife.

I ordered this knife as a Christmas present for my best friend who LOVES to cook and is very picky about his knives. I was so excited to get this for him and I know he will love it. The packaging itself is impressive: a chic jewelry box and a great presentation. The knife is SUPER sharp, the handle is strong. It will work great and last a long time. I can't wait to surprise him with this professional knife! Definitely recommend this item for any professional or amateur chef. Also a great gift…

Great knife! Now this is my favorite and sharpest knife in the kitchen. The closest knife I've owned is a relatively inexpensive Victorinox chef's knife, and this Okami knife is now much preferred. Although the Victorinox knife was sharp and worked well, this Okami knife is very sharp and feels good in the hand. The knife has some weight and the blade is firmly attached to the handle so it feels very strong and durable. Stupidly, I'm surprised how great it is to have a great and sharp knife to…

Beautiful packaging. Nice grip. Full shaft with excellent flex. Unfortunately the blade is too thin. The knife is very light and needs to be sharpened before use. Oddly enough, it looks sharp right out of the box, but when you use it, it cuts horribly. I'm a professional chef and wanted something I could leave at work and not get too upset about when it goes away. Update of our rental knives. So I'm writing this the day after I first used it in the kitchen. My finger still hurts. The blade at…

I am a professional chef who has worked in the industry for many years. I research various knife companies before ordering any of my knives. The knives in my collection range from Okami, Mercer, wustoff and mostly Mac. I can only tell you my opinion on this brand, after a year of working with my chef I will give them a token of my appreciation, whatever a chef's knife is. I recently bought this knife for one of my Chef de Party. The knife is well balanced, it's a thinner high quality Japanese…

I've never owned a professional knife so I'm writing my review through the eyes of a novice professional knife. I love to cook and don't know why it took me so long to get a "real" knife. The difference between a good knife like this and an ordinary cheaper knife (like the ones I have in my drawer) is comparable between day and night. I'm so used to sawing meat and vegetables and now I can bring out my inner chef with my new Okami chef's knife. I can chop a whole onion in seconds and chop raw…

The chef's knife is the most important tool in every kitchen and is used in almost every dish. I knew the blade I chose made a difference and so I spend a lot of time researching to find the perfect balance between performance and price. When I discovered the Okami chef's knife, I hoped I'd found the perfect blade. That's what I liked about this knife. The price makes it a very affordable knife that won't break your budget. The blade has a nice curve that provides powerful swing when chopping…
