Matsato Knife | Japanese Steel Kitchen Knives. Professional High-Class Chef's Knife 5.8in. Non-Slip Cooking Knives with Ergonomic Handle, Gift Box

A quality, sharp knife is recommended. Good value. Peter

One of the best knives I’ve ever cooked with, great for such a wide range. Fantastic rocking motion for fine fast cutting but a sturdy clean cut for thicker items. The comfort of the handle is next to none with the weight of the knife adding to the ease of using it. Great value for money with this product.

What a knife. The MATSATO FAMIY MUST BE HAPPY TO MAKE A KNIFE SO SHARP AND A CUTS SO FINE CHEFS BEST KNIFE FOR MONEY A MUST BUY. Mr Brian Lewis.

Quality product for price

This knife feels like it has lovely build quality, I’ve only used it twice so far so I’m intrigued to see how it holds up over time but initially I’m impressed. When it turned up it wasn’t as sharp as I like so I sharpened it and now I’m happy. It feels great, looks great and now performs great. Would definitely recommend.

I am 77 years old and have been cooking for most of my life. All my knives are sharp (Blunt knives cause accidents), but this knife is insanely sharp; far sharper than any knife I have ever owned. It is incredible, and dangerous. Do NOT buy this knife unless you are committed to being extremely careful when using it, AND cleaning it! But as a knife! I wish I had known about it years ago.

Brilliant knife, very sharp, very easy to use and a brilliant purchase....

Beautifully crafted well balanced knife however I was disappointed with the dullness of the blade. I was expecting it to be razor sharp out of the box and it definitely isn't. It's going to take a bit of sharpening.

Un buen implemento para quienes les gusta el cocinar

UPDATE TO PREVIOS 3 STAR REVIEW: Originally, I rated the knife at 3 stars. I did get contacted by the seller and they offered me a full refund, so customer service and satisfaction gets 5 stars! As far as the knife after sharpening and playing with it, it's a keeper. They have a special going at the time of my second review, which I could have returned and bought, but too much hassle in my opinion!!! This knife is heavy compared to the other long blade knives I use (there are two long knives I use on a regular basis for chopping along with the two utility knives). I used it for chopping and slicing through things. For chopping, I probably will use my other knives, the motion to do chopping with this knife is different because the blade is curved (not picking on the knife, I have issues with my hands and wrists due to carpel tunnel and arthritis, so the motion to chop with this knife is a bit awkward for me). For heavy duty work, this knife is great. It has bumped to the top for doing the heavy duty work. I tried cutting the husk off of a young coconut, cut through Cartlidge and cut open Lobster shell on the extreme sides successfully. The knife didn't fare too well in cutting ripe/soft/juicy fruits in my opinion, so I'll stick to my utility knives for such tasks. I tried twirling the knife the way they do it in the commercials/ads, but I couldn't do it on my index finger, my pinky seemed to be the right size for the twirling, but I don't have any control when I twirl the knife with my pinky!!!! Overall, I'll give the knife a 4 to a 4.5 grade, their customer puts them closer to 5. OLD REVIEW: Packing is cute; they try to make opening the box feel like opening an iPhone package. I like the handle and the hole in the blade. From the description the knife was supposed to be razor sharp and of course Japanese. The knife is made in China and the blade was dull. I ended up sharpening the blade for couple of minutes to cut a tomato properly. Out of the box, the blade probably couldn’t cut through milk! As far as sharpness out of the box, my Victorinox and cheap Daiso knives were sharp right out of the box. I’ll play with this couple of more weeks and update my review! So far, it’s a meh!

Good product for kitchen n outdoor use
