XINZUO damascus steel nakiri knife

Let me start off saying that these are 5 stars but I took one off from the utter frustration I went through for a few hours before calling Amazon who politely fully refunded them. I ordered a 7pc set and the nikiri knife and shears were missing and it was a gift for my fiancé. I was able to order the missing knife with the refundThese knives are an absolute blast to cut with and make my old dull carbon ceramic knives feel like cutting with a butter knife. They really make cooking fun again. They look superb and the Damascus hammered look is awesome. The grips are well balanced and some of the rare ones that actually fit my 6’4” big hands comfortably.

Extremely good deal for the price. Use in a professional kitchen every day For a couple months easily my favorite knife. Kinda want another one just Incase I mess my first one up.

Very nice, even the packaging but lets see if it hold up to its name. It'll be alot sharper if the edge had a better angle. The edge had a typical angle like cheap wedding gifted knives. I'll give it 3 months until i change my rating on its sharpness. And after i get it tested for material type.

Although I am not a chef I love to cook for family and friends. This knife is supper easy to handle, I see that it will probably will be with me for the rest of my life.

Comes sharp, Hold edge very good.

These are very beautiful. There are some reviews about the blade not holding its edge but if you can’t sharpen a knife don’t get one. It’s not a mystery and YouTube can show you how. A few passes on a super fine stone and they are razor sharp again. I personally sharpen it every few uses so I don’t care how long it holds it’s edge.

Ich bin nicht ganz glücklich mit der optik des Messers. Der Stahl ist OK, auch gefaltet - aber die Schichten sind erstens so fein gefaltet & und so schwach geätzt, dass man das mit dem blossen Auge kaum sehen kann und das typische zweifarbige des Damaststahls fehlt hier komplett. Anders als im Foto das den Kaufanreiz - zumindest für mich darstellte. Also auf den ersten Blick - Stahl mit Dellen. Es ist sehr scharf - und der Stahl scheint hochwertig. Eigentlich dachte ich es handle sich um ein japanisches Messer, so wurde der Stahl angekündigt - aber es ist alles pure Made in China.

I will keep this review simple here are the pros:- extremely sharp out of the box- maintains edge and sharpness after chopping many hard veggies- back of knife is flat and convenient for sliding veggies/ produce off the board into pots/ bowls etc. allowing you to preserve the blade- aesthetically beautiful blade and dark wood handle- sturdy feel with great weight which helps in gliding the knife through produce- comes nicely packagedthe only con is that the instruction suggest not to leave it with any water/ acidic food on it as it can rust; this is not a big issue as I ensure to wipe it dry after I use it and wash and have not seen any rust thus far.

Diciamo che da 1 a 10 si può dare un bel 8+ e leggero, affilato, ma la qualità della lama non è cosa mi aspettavo esteticamente bello ma lasci il vuoto quando lo prendi in mano

Yo no puedo asegurar si es Damasco autentico o imitacion aunque parece real, pero lo que si es cierto es que trae un filo con el que puedes afeitarte. Corta sin hacer ningun esfuerzo. Ahora solo faltara ver lo que dura. En cuanto al manejo, esta muy bien equilibrado y se sujeta muy bien.De momento super satisfecho. Calidad total.

Wie schon oben erwähnt ist das Messer, in meinem Fall ein Nakiri, für diesen Preis einfach unschlagbar. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist einwandfrei (Vergleiche mit Kai Thun Mälzer und nicht Mälzer sind vorhanden) und muss sich vor den teueren Messern (Kai Shun usw.) nicht Verstecken. Das Messer ist Rasierklingenscharf und absolut Top Verarbeitet, ich würde es jederzeit wieder Kaufen und kann es auch ruhigen Gewissens weiterempfehlen.
