Damascus Chef Knife, 8 Inch 67-Layer Japanese Kitchen Knives Sharp High Carbon Stainless Steel with Ergonomic Pakkawood Handles, Elegant Gift Box Packaging for Home and Kitchen Birthday Dad Mom Gift

I’ve been very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this knife. The blade is ground nice and thin behind the edge for optimal cutting performance. The heat treat is good, as well, yielding a blade with good wear resistance and edge retention. Excellent value for the price I paid.

This is not only a great looking knife, but a great value. It is sharp and maintains its blade. So glad I followed the advice of the @OUTDOORS55 on YouTube who recommended this blade. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools. Great knife!

I bought this after reading a knife review which said that it actually is a proper Damascus steel knife. Well, it was inexpensive, as such things go, and looks great, and is very sharp. My wife loves it.

A very nice knife for the price. It came in a bigger Amazon box without any padding inside, so it was flying around inside the box all the way to me, but it's not the seller's fault. The item box and packaging is nice and presentable enough. The knife itself is also good. Not perfect as it has some minor blemishes/rough spots on the damascus surface, and the blue ring on the handle has a minor imperfection. The edge is a bit asymmetrical - one side is more grinded than the other, with a small bald spot where damascus layer was ground/polished away. The sharpness from the factory is passable - it cuts paper, although not very easily, and it doesn't shave hairs on ones hand at all. All in all, it's a very good buy for the price if you don't mind minor imperfections here and there as probably anything like that (mass produced but largely hand made) will have them.

I have the white and brown Oval Handle, purchased 8-23-25, but not on the page today, 8-24-25; perhaps it will be offered later. It is beautiful, well made, and comfortable to hold. The blade arrived so sharp I didn't strop it, and I am picky/ It cuts like a laser, the thin, light, and well sharpened blade falling through whole onions, sandwiches, everything with very little pressure; it even cuts my 100% whole grain homemade bread, though when it's fresh from the oven with a crispy crust, the Wusthof Super Slicer works better with its curvy serrations. It is a pleasant knife to use.

Excellent knife for the price! Quick facts from my past two months of use: Knife came sharp and has retained its edge through daily home use. I do feel a minor burr forming so it’ll need to be sharpened soon. It looks great and feels balanced in the hand. No complaints at all so far.

Exactly as advertised. Comes out of the box very sharp. For the price it is a fantastic knife.

The knife is sharp and it is actually a real Damascus pattern. It's a gorgeous knife. However this knife has horrible lateral balance, the worst I've seen. I really want to like this knife but functionally it just rolls over in your hand. That's right, try to balance it on your finger it just rolls over on its side. It takes effort to keep it straight up and down when cutting. The balance is so bad it's just functionally unpleasant to use, if not jaur plain difficult. However it would look very nice on the magnetic strip behind my counter.
