Damascus Santoku Knife 7 Inch, Professional Japanese Damascus Super Steel Kitchen Knife, Sharp Cooking Knife with Durable Ergonomic Olive Wood Handle

The HOSHANHO 6.5 inch Damascus Nakiri Knife was purchased last week as our first speciality dedicated vegetable knife and our first Japanese style knife. We were delighted by the quality packaging and build quality of the knife. Selection criteria included high quality VG-10 steel, size, appearance, and price and the excellent video by "HSH-DE" who demonstrated on a cabbage and an onion. Also liked the flexibility of a santoku and nakari in one. Also worth mentioning is the shape of the wood handle is perfect for both right and left hand use. Over the weekend we used it on 2 seasonal vegtables, butternut squash and white cabbage. First, the hard butternut squash was cut into 1 inch cubes for roasting and the sharpness, secure hand grip, and scalloped santoku style blade sides to prevent sticking made this usually difficult chore a breeze. She said "wonderful!" Secondly I made a large batch of confetti coleslaw using the white cabbage. Easily sliced the quartered cabbage into thin ribbons and then used the knife as a chopper for the cross-cuts. We were both impressed with how easily this very sharp knife chops for perfect gourmet sizing. I said "amazing". Bottom line: an easy to use vegtable prep knife with great feel and balance. Outstanding for chopping. A joy to use. A "cut-proof" glove is recommended due to the sharpness. The actual weight we measured on 2 digital scales is 8.5 ounces which is great for everything including chopping.

Very nice knife for the money. I really like Hoshanho knives….i have several. They are very sharp and well made. This filet knife is great and VERY sharp. Since it is so thin, it can bend if you’re not careful. Olive wood handle is nice.

Out of the box this blade is the sharpest thing I have ever seen. Rested it on a green pepper and the weight of the blade alone sliced right through. The bevel edge appears to be less than an ideal 15 degrees so some care has to be used to not chip its thin edge (avoid bone). Excellent for dicing vegetables. True damascus steel but not prone to rusting, time will tell how it holds an edge.

I am THRILLED with this knife! Balanced, sharp, holds an edge. Perfection

Good knife. Light weight, sharp , good for cutting vegetables, fits well in my hand comfortably . Will last a lifetime with proper maintenance.

This knife I got for a Christmas gift to give to my husband. And I gotta say this is a high end knife. It works amazingly and I would definitely recommend it with the wooden handle. It gives a lot of stability. Buy it!

Absolutely the sharpest,most versatile knife in my collection. I waited to buy this knife until it came on sale,and it did not disappoint.

Beautifully crafted and sharp!! Bought for Christmas presents for my siblings.

Buon prodotto come descrizioni

Une fine lame pour des filets. Apres un premier achat personnel, j’en ai repris 2 autres pour des potes. Bon rapport qualité prix et je le trouve très esthétique.

Si presenta come un coltello giapponese di qualità peccato che ormai fanno tutto in china .ottimo prodotto

Coltello Made in china (ma almeno nn l hanno scritto sulla lana…. Ben bilanciato, affilatura grezza ma ottimale per la funzionalità (verdure).

Excellent couteau, coupe très bien , c'est très agréable à manipuler et beau design
