Review on 🔪 DALSTRONG 8" Chef Cleaver Hybrid Knife - Shogun Series Crixus: Razor Sharp Meat Knife - Japanese AUS-10V Super Steel - with Sheath by Amy Padilla

The sharpness is prohibitively expensive. I like the weight, the fit and the finish. It feels good in hand and ate a flank steak for carne asada. However, not everything is perfect. The damask pattern makes the knife look like water stains. The photo does not look like a damask pattern. It doesn't necessarily affect functionality, but it does bother me a bit. The Damascus look is what makes this knife attractive and its price. I would rather have a "not" Damascus style blade than what I received. Will update as I use it.
