Review: Excellent knife, especially if you can still get it at the promotional price. - Simply put, I would like a lot of people to buy this knife so that I can get a matching paring knife. I cook for a living and am an avid camper so I know a good tool when I hold one and this knife delivers. When I bought mine a couple months ago, Okami knives only offered the 8 inch version. If they expand their offerings and continue to offer such rock bottom introductory prices I forsee my entire knife roll consisting of Okami knives. Pros: -Nice looking knife, simple and elegant, this is sure to catch the eye of whomever is watching. Comes in a spiffy box with a tip guard as well. -Extremely light. Your wrist will never get tired manipulating this knife for hours. -Wicked sharp out of the box. My roommate gave it the ultimate out of the box sharp test. He used the edge of this knife to peel back the outer layer of the epidermis on his left thumb without any pain or disturbing the subcutaneous layers. -High quality super hard steel (60-62 ish). Edge retention is amazing. I've been using mine daily at work and at home for three months. Without any maintenance on the edge it is still sharp enough to shave with. -Pakka wood handle is AWESOME. My favorite feature. I knew pakka wood was a quality construction material before I purchased this knife, but I am still blown away by how nice the grip feels. It just feels pleasurable in the hand, plus I have held it while both hand and handle were slick with myoglobin and grip was still super secure. -Well balanced -Price is rediculously good. If I made this knife I would charge $200 for it, but at the time of posting this review it is still selling for $90. I understand 90 dollars is not a small amount of money, but if you like to cook you are going to be using this knife every day. 90$ for something that gets daily use for a decade+ is a sensible investment. Cons -A little on the small side. I have the 8 inch version and the blade is a little smaller than 8 inches. I hold kitchen knives with a modified pinch grip and if I rest this knife on the cutting board two of my knuckles are touching as well. One of my coworkers who has very large hands (he's a very large man) can't use this knife for chopping. Definitely more suited for Japanese cutting than French style. -Half tang. I don't think this is a downer because it is so well constructed, but I know it will turn some people off. -Made in China. Same story as above, but their will be individuals who see that and say "Nope, not worth risking." -Super hard steel means this knife will carve through anything it is meant to cut like it's nothing. It also means if you hit a bone or aren't using a proper cutting board, or just use the knife on something hard, the knife is going to chip. I actually managed to damage my knife. I bumped it and it fell from my station about three feet to the tiled floor. Luckily the teensy-weensy little tiny chip that came off was on the spine so the structural integrity of the knife is still sound. If it had been on the blade edge (even as small a nick as it was) I would have had to pay a visit to the knife doctor and his grinder. -Light weight will catch some cooks off guard. If you are used to a big honkin' stainless steel knife that costs 20$ this will take some getting used to. With a heavy knife you sort of set it on it's course and let the wieght of the blade carry through the slice. Try that with this knife and you are going to have some weird slices. Like I said at the beginning, I hope Okami keeps making more products, because this one is awesome. I also think a t-shirt with the wolf head logo would look pretty snazzy if they ever wanted to offer one of those.
Review: Great Knife, Great Value. (Repeat customer!!) - First off, this is my first quality knife. I've been working on my home cooking craft as a hobby for the past 10 years and decided it was time to have a professional level knife. The Okami was, in my opinion, the best quality for the price and level of cooking I do. I was not left wanting, this knife is great. It was sharp right out the box and perfect with a few passes over the 6000 stone. I took quite a while to look over many, many knives, reading reviews, product tests, customer comments, and watching You Tube videos. In the end the Okami was a bit of an unknown, but it had all of the qualities the more expensive competition was flaunting as must haves. As far as this particular knife is concerned, the balance is wonderful, the handle fits into my hand perfectly with plenty of room to vary grips for different cuts, the blade has a nice thin kerf, and of course, the knife is just gorgeous to boot. In the end this was was a great choice and I will be promptly ordering the 6" Utility knife and looking forward to Okami's next offering. Addition 6/30/2015: I received my 6" a couple days ago and it is an equally fantastic knife. Great for miscellaneous tasks and fruit/vege slicing. Great work Okami. Update 08/10/2016 : I just purchased and received my 7" Doshi Santoku knife and it is an amazing knife. Razor sharp as the other Okami knives right out of the box. The balance is very nice, almost better than my Nakama by Okami, but not quite (the Nakama is by far and above the best knife I've ever used). If you are looking for great value and professional results, you need to look no further than Okami. They have a great, quality product, and they have super customer service, so if for some reason you are not in love with a knife, they make it right and are able to respond to you right away. Heck, they email you almost as soon as you buy a knife to let you know that! Still waiting to purchase the Paring knife, but it will be next and I am confident it will be just as good! Thanks Okami, Great Work!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unparalleled quality and balance.
*by D***R on June 20, 2015*

I gave this knife to my wife for her birthday. She'll leave her own review. Here's mine. This knife is balanced perfectly. It's slightly forward balance allows it to do all the work. I own a popular Santoku that has a very light blade which makes it difficult to use in comparison. This Okami knife is a dream to use. I find that my wife does a lot more of the knife work in the kitchen since I gave this to her. The workmanship of this knife is stunning to say the least. The blade is a work of art and came sharper than any other knife I own. It's hair splitting sharp. The handle if beautiful and feels very nice in the hand. There's a grain to it that allows for a nice grip. I buy nice knives and can honestly say that if I saw this knife at a store and was able to hold it in my hand, I'd have paid twice as much money for it. It's that nice. If you're in the market for an 8 inch chefs knife, buy this and forget about the Shun. This is a keeper for life. Update 07/13/15 - when I saw that Okami was offering a 6 inch more or less pairing knife, I jumped on it. I hate 3 1/2 inch pairing knives for anything but slicing strawberries. This 6 inch is so useful to me. I cored AND sliced a tomato tonight with it.. It's just a nice size for my small work. This truly is a big pairing knife. The heel's not taller like a chef yet a slightly taller heel than my smaller pairing knives (which are now being donated). The quality and craftsmanship is top notch, just like the chefs knife. I'm so glad I found this. My knife buying days are over. I wish Oakmi the best and can highly recommend their knives.
