This straight-bladed utility knife is not made of fancy alloys. The blade is not of forged Damascus-style composition, but comes quite sharp and retains its edge. I have used it for a month and, have not yet had to resharpen it, so am not able to comment on how it will respond to stropping or being touched up with finer stones. The 6-inch length is perfect for: cutting fruit, deboning or thin-slicing chicken or meat, and filleting smaller fish. The handle is well designed -- comfy to hold and angled slightly so one does not bang one's knuckles when dicing -- a common problem with smaller or mid-sized knives with straight-edge blades.

Works great on thick crust breads like sourdough. Can do really thin slices.

It's a little light, but basically it's OK. It's a good knife for the price. My friend has it & likes it, too.

What a great addition to the kitchen! We purchase ribeye primals (the long "ribeye rolls") to save money and cut them up at home, resulting in 8-9 ribs, and as many as a dozen ribeye steaks. This exceeds the excellent long knife we've used in the past. We had a chance to try it out at a relative's house, and immediately ordered one for ourselves. Well worth the price if you do some of your own butchering.

Just received and I am disappointed, I was thinking that it was a real Japanese knife but it's not.The silver finish seam cheap to. Will see in the future if it is durable but beware of false Japanese knife.

For the money these are good knives. I give it 5 stars based on the quality for the money. Pretty sharp out of the box and a comfortable handle although I find it a little on the small side but for me it's not a big issue. If you have very large hands you may want to look at something else. Not the best quality steel and it requires frequent sharpening but it's on par with everything else in it's price range. However, it does sharpen very easily and I would recommend getting the KAI 3 stage sharpener to keep these really sharp.

For a budget knife these are great. They are a little on the thin side but a very sturdy blade cuts through everything with ease . Very satisfied with my purchase I plan to buy more! Thanks!

My initial impression is good but not great. Given the price, good = very good. The blade stock is a little thicker than I hoped for. I didn't measure it but can do so. The balance on the knife is couple of inches forward of the handle, which is not ideal for me. Not terrible, but I'd like it back more toward the handle. The grind on the blade looks excellent. I could do without the faux hammering on the top half of the blade, but I'm sure most people think it looks cool. It won't hurt anything.The steel is not great, but I knew this going into the purchase. For the price, a big piece of AUS-6 does not seem unreasonable. Given that I'll use this knife only a few times a year the steel is fine. Again, given the price it seems quite good.Sharpness was fine. I cut printer paper easily and cleanly and newsprint if i try hard (this requires more sharpness). This is not bad for a factory edge and certainly sharp enough to cut some protein. The first thing I did was sharpen it. As expected it takes an edge quickly and fairly easily. No issues at all. And it's sharper now.The handle is small and simple. It works surprisingly well. I'll know more when I go to cut meat for 20 people. I suspect it's going to slice very well.I would like to see KAI: 1. Thin the stock a little more, and taper it slightly more toward the tip. 2. Taper the tang in the handle wider toward the back. 3. Maybe make the handle a little longer.These three things would make for a nicer handling knife and get the balance back toward toward the handle. Of course, doing these things probably also makes this as $120 knife rather than a $70 knife. Considering the cost this looks like a very nice knife. Just set your expectations accordingly if you're a knife snob.Update: used this knife to make about 40 prime rib cuts. It works perfectly fine. For the money it's a nice knife. As I mentioned above I would prefer something with different balance, but it cuts fine. It was nice to have a longer knife for making cuts in big piece of meat.
