MITSUMOTO SAKARI Gyuto Chef Knife 8 Inch, Japanese VG-10 Hand Forged Kitchen Knife for Meat & Vegetables, G10 Handle with Sandalwood Box

Light-weight and incredible steel profile for professionals who demand quality tools. I've been using this knife for a few days and love the edge retention and accuracy for fine work. This is not a kitchen work horse beater, obviously it belongs in the hands of a Chef. Handle has been great, and it has not become loose as with some reviews. The finish is functional and pleasing. Using it daily has been a great experience. Easy to clean, comfortable grip, well balanced feel, and very good to excellent edge retention thus far. Accurate and steady blade for working Chefs. Highly recommend Mitsumoto Sakari blades.

The knife came in a nice box and was razor sharp. The blade is wonderfully structured and the heft is very comfortable. Also, the heft is perfectly flush with the tang and the rivets. Excellent piece to present as a gift ( which I did) It certainly looks more expensive than it is. I am tempted to buy another one and keep it myself.

Good quality!

It’s not the knife at all. It’s a piece of junk.

Sharp, has a good weight to it. Handle feels great for someone with a medium-large size hand. I strop before use, haven’t really needed to sharpen it yet.

So I bought this to just be a cheap workhorse in the kitchen. I work professionally and have an affinity for premium chefs knives but always like to have a good one that I can beat on and not worry about. This one didn’t fit the bill. After a couple days of use the handle became loose around the tang. The knife performed well before the handle issue but that is a complete deal breaker. The quest for a quality budget work horse continues.

I absolutely love this knife, it is super easy to hold and use. This is the best kitchen knife that I own. My only complaint about this purchase is that the oil bottle that came with it leaked all over the box and arrived empty. The knife itself though is absolutely wonderful.

I’m going to be honest here it’s a solid knife for home use but after a couple rounds of sharpening and use in a high end sushi restaurant the edge is chipping small but this is a cheap alternative to a Japanese knife and I will be upgrading to a true Japanese knife. If your a chef looking for a cheap backup this is a solid choice but not as a main option hope this was helpful

THIS is the knife brand that I have patiently waiting for, while I made the decision of whether or not I would maximize it's use in my BBQ'ING routine! Without a doubt, I am VERY satisfied with the quality, the balance, and the ease with which it slices through my beef!

Not only beautifully made but very sharp and cuts great. Excellent value for the money.

This is the best knife I've ever had.

Handle is loose after 3 uses. Very disappointed

The knife was a gift. The person who received it likes it very much
