Miyamoto Japanese Chef Knife 8 Inch Steel 67 Layers Damascus Kitchen Knife, Ultra Sharp Chef's Knife with Long Lasting Blade, High Carbon Super Steel Chopping Knife, Carving Knife with Resin Handle

Extremely happy with this knife and the edge is great, and i got it great price

This knife is absolutely worth it.! Very sharp, the craftsmanship is superb, and the design is beautiful.

The knife comes in a nice case, and it is quite sharp right out of the box (as any brand new knife should be). I like the shape of the blade and because of the amount of curve, it works well to chop and dice. Overall, so far, I would say it is a pretty nice kitchen knife and is an upgrade over most cheaper knives.I don't love the blue resin handle, but that's just me. It is also quite light, as others have pointed out, and although I can't test it, I have my doubts that it is really Damascus steel. Also, it is not a full-tang knife. So, where does that leave me? I think it's a pretty decent knife, and I'll keep using it, but it probably should be at a little lower price point. For $10-$30 more, you can get a brand name chef's knife on sale that you can expect to last your lifetime and that you know the quality of the steel and the handle.

Es todo un lujo.

Very great knife

This 8-inch chef's knife immediately impresses with both form and function. From the moment it’s unboxed, it feels like a high-end tool—elegantly packaged with thoughtful presentation that makes it completely gift-worthy. It looks like something much more expensive than it actually is, and the quality backs it up.The blade is a true VG-10 Damascus steel core surrounded by 67 layers, and the difference is instantly noticeable during use. It arrived incredibly sharp out of the box and slices through everything from tomatoes to thick root vegetables with barely any resistance. The full flat grind on the blade helps with precise chopping, and it holds its edge well after several sessions of meal prep.Functionality aside, the resin and wood handle is a standout feature on its own. The blend of natural wood grain and vibrant blue resin looks striking in person, and it’s shaped in a way that offers a secure grip even during longer prep sessions. There’s just enough angular contouring to keep it from slipping without being uncomfortable or awkward.This knife performs as beautifully as it looks. The balance feels right in the hand, the weight isn’t too heavy, and it gives great control whether you're doing fine mincing or broader slicing. It's one of those tools that elevates the experience of cooking—whether you're a home chef or gifting it to someone who enjoys their time in the kitchen.

Besides Germany, Japan is known for their knives and this 8" chef's knife is a great example. It's both striking in design and efficient in function. From the VG10 Damascus steel to the blade's shape this knife was designed for both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.From the moment I took it out of its presentation box I knew I was going to love it. It's light for an 8" chef's knife and it's beautifully balanced. The handle part Canadian Maple wood and part resin is beautiful and the blade's unique shape is perfect for slicing, dicing and chopping. The Damascus steel is beautifully textured due to the heating, folding and pressing process, over and over into 67 layers that give it its strength, lightness and resiliency. The Steel is a high carbon steel called VG10 known for its its balance of hardness and durability. It's also known as a steel which can be honed to a very sharp fine edge and to be hard enough to maintain that edge during use. Indeed, the edge on this knife is razor sharp. Sharper than any other new chef's knife that I own or ever owned.This knife is beautiful, versatile and a joy to use. I am thrilled to own it.

I did not expect to like this knife as much as I do. It looks really pretty and comes with a sheath, which is actually super helpful due to how sharp it is. We have a couple other good quality blades in the kitchen to compare to, and this one stands perfectly well. The size is quite large, and they are not joking about how sharp this is right out of the box. I’m always making sure to be extra careful when using this one since it’s so sharp. It feels nice and solid, and one thing that may be a negative or positive depending on your point of view is that it is pretty light. I kind of like this. We have other blades that do the heavy lifting when it comes to needing some weight behind them. I think this blade is meant to be used a little differently than a cleaver, and I very much like it.
