Review on 9Cr18MoV High Carbon Steel Brisket Slicing Knife From FINDKING Dynasty Series For Efficient Meat Carving And BBQ Cooking - Featuring African Rosewood Octagonal Handle, 12 Inches by Allen Tchida

I treated myself to 3 new knives for the kitchen. I got 2 more expensive knives from chefknivestogo, and this 7" nakiri for general use and vegetables. It's a great knife, especially for the price. It does require some maintenance, as the exterior metal is not stainless. This doesn't scare me away and I knew what to expect. If you know how to take care of reactive cookware (mild steel, cast iron, etc.) you'll be happy with this knife.It has some weight too it, feels very sturdy in the hand. I prefer the Wa-style handle for grip and usability. It was relatively sharp out of the box, but I gave it a sharpen anyway to really dial it in. Took the sharpening very well and has been a great knife since. I find myself reaching for it often since it is a good performer. Also, it's inexpensive, so I don't feel the need to baby it. I've used it on butternut squash, slicing beef, chopping all sorts of greens and vegetables. The hammered finish on the knife gives good food release, which is great for slicing things like onion or frozen beef.
