Review on FINDKING'S Dynasty Kiritsuke Knife - The Perfect Multi-Purpose Gyuto Chef Knife For Cutting Meat, Fruits And Vegetables by Jeffrey Bush

Tech specs:Listed as 5" but it's really 4 and 3/4". This knife was much smaller than I expected. 1 quick rinse and I used this to skin, split, then slice an entire papaya, then break down some baby back ribs. I was very impressed. Excellent fit and finish. I will update in the future with a more detailed long term review. (pic info) From the heel to tip of the blade edge is 4.75", the overall blade is 5" but the entirety of useable blade edge or actual blade is 4.75" Personal noteI bought this to use as a pety/utility knife and retire my wustof 3.5" paring knife that I over-use, though it falls short(literally). I was honestly disappointed with the size when I opened this. At a glance it looks close in size to a 3.5" paring knife. I picked it up and was pleasantly surprised by the weight, it feels like a small wrench, that's a good thing. This is thing is very impressive, so much so that I almost wish I would have ordered the whole set, I recently replaced another knife in my kit and for not much more I could have ordered this whole set. The build quality is very good, not perfect. The handle is very slim but tapered and feels excellent. In a utility sense it is perfect for me, the fit and finish is very good. The pictures do not do it justice and the wood is gorgeous. I don't believe it has a full tang but it has at least a very sturdy rat tail style partial tang.
