MSY BIGSUNNY 10" Yanagiba Sushi Knife - Stainless Steel With Rose Wood Handle - Professional Slicing Chef Knife for Sashimi

I took a chance on this low priced knife and was very pleasantly surprised. Good German steel, extremely sharp right out of the box, easy to sharpen with a good two stage stone, handles very well on delicate fish and light vegetables, and feels good in the hand. Just a couple minor surprises - the blade is only beveled on the right side so I would consider this a knife that is best suited for right handers, and it is not a full tang handle so it's definitely not for heavy duty cutting. But I guess both of these features make sense for a light duty filet/sushi knife. They just should have mentioned these things in the description so people can be fully informed and better decide if it's the right knife for them. Luckily, it is definitely the right knife for me.As for the one fairly negative review that was very critical of a sushi knife being made in China, I had to chuckle. There are a lot of very high quality products made in China. It just depends on the specs, design, materials and quality control implemented by the company ordering and marketing the finished product. His belief that a good sushi knife can't be made in China makes about as much sense as someone saying that all foreign cars in the United States are not capable of being properly driven on U.S. roads. Silly! Just pick and choose carefully the products you buy no matter where they're made.

This is a really good knife for the money, but you do need to know a couple of things. Being a Japanese grind, it is beveled on only one side (the right one) so it is suitable only for right handed use. Second, it is sturdy, but not intended for heavy chopping. Do not use this as a deba or usuba. If you keep those two things in mind, you will be delighted with the quality and feel of this knife. Nice German steel, arrives honed and ready, and a truly comfortable handle, although it is symmetrical (I prefer Japanese knives to have the traditional asymmetrical handle that has a bulge to fit your fingers). But the price is amazing for the quality. Great for veggie and fruit prep!

I always wanted a Deba. Ever since I watched my fav sushi chef use his to clean whole fish, I thought that I could use one. Well, I was right. Love this knife.I was steaking up a big Kingfish the other day and this sliced right through the backbone with very little effort. Watch your fingers! Happy with my purchase!

I got this as a gift for very good friends, the purchase ( transaction ) went smoothly, the quality of the knife is well made, reasonably priced, will purchase another soon!

This carbon steel knife was razor-sharp right out of the box, beautifully finished, quite weight and well-balanced, it's pleasant to simply hold in hand. Satisfied as much as could be, they did a nice job making this knife. I enthusiastically recommend it.

I have had this knife for years and it is still sharp and works very well.

Knife was decent. couldn't really keep a sharp edge for long. And it isnt used for heavy duty. Ofcoarse when I get a new knife. I have to try it out for heavy duty. Apparently the blade chipped easily. the knife itself is better used for and ONLY VEGETABLES

exelente calidas, recomiendo comprar este cuchillo,,, se le hacen unos ajuste a la anpu,adura y queda muy bien,(recorten la ampuñadura)

It looks nice but has a strange design and the blade itself is far too thick. The comfort is off due to the weight of the blade, if it were trimmed down a bit instead of having a large piece of steel, it would have been much better. The blade being flat on one side makes it look incomplete

Damn I did not expect it to be such a good knife. I wanted a heavy deba to do some more heavy work in the kitchen. For the price I did not think that it would be sharp and that I would have to grind it on my Wheatstone for a bit. but this thing came in super sharp. The handle fits great in the knife and as a nice heft to it. Great deba.

not disapointed

Not a huge problem, a little disappointing though. The black cap in between the handle and the blade was not secured properly so it is loose.

Cheap. You get what yah pay for
