Kai Seki Magoroku Kinju ST Japanese Deba Knife 180mm (AK-1103)

釣ってきた魚を捌くのに購入しました。タイの骨も問題なく切れました。使い勝手もいいです。切れ味がいいので、刃が指にトンっと当たっただけでキレてしまうので注意して下さい。

As someone who loves making sushi at home, this knife is a game-changer. It arrived razor-sharp right out of the box. The single-bevel blade glides through raw fish and delicate sushi rolls effortlessly without tearing or crushing them. The balance and weight feel incredibly professional in hand, and the wooden handle provides a very comfortable, secure grip. It makes preparing sashimi feel like an art. Highly recommended for any sushi enthusiast!

Una qualità e udente. Peso, taglio di precisione. Ottimo per chi si cimemta con passione in cucina. È stato molto apprezzato questo regalo fatto per una festa importante.

well made and sharp out of the packet...does what is expected 5 stars

Overall this is actually a very impressive deba. I'm a bit shocked at how impressive it is actually. All my knives are high end japanese knives and this one would be considered the least of these, but it is at par with most (if not all) of my other knives quality level.The knife arrived very quickly....about a week or so and it was expected to be a few weeks.Why I left one star short of a perfect score has to do with the transaction and not the product. It's bad enough that it cost $22 for shipping....which I was ok with when I purchased the knife; but, when the delivery guy came to my door I owed another $24 for duty fees which I was not expecting at all. So, for a $77 knife, I paid $46 to get it here. $123 total and 40% of it was delivery. I'm not complaining about the $123 as it's really inexpensive for even a mediocre knife....its the surprise of the extra expense and cost ratio.
