## Description

Richardson Sheffield R14000P165160 "Kyu" Finest Stainless Steel "Santoku" Kitchen Knife, Black, 12.5 cm : desertcart.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

Review: Surprisingly decent knife - The knife comes in a tidy little box thats very well presented, although there is a zip tie in a really awkward place which makes removing the knife from the box quite tricky if you dont wish to deface the knife. The factory edge is not super sharp but this did not bother me as im a chef and have over the years acquired the skill of using whet stones. A Santoku knife is probably the easiest knife to sharpen on a whet stone so this knife makes perfect for people starting out. I was able to get a razor Sharpe edge on mine within just a few mins work on a 1000 grit stone and a few strokes on a strop.
Review: Excellent Product- Kyu knife - I’m very choosy about the quality of my knifes. This 12.5cm Kyu’ is the second knife in this range I’ve purchased, and I will definitely be buying more. This product in my opinion has been excellently manufactured, and more importantly it’s designed for the comfort & safety of the user. Its well balanced and feels great in the hand (unlike cheaper types with bending blades) nor does the handle become slippery when wet. Looks good as well. I would highly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality
*by E***N on 7 November 2022*

The handle was a little small for me. I'm used to it now and it's become my go to knife. Lost it's sharpness a bit quickly but I'll sharpen it using a a whetstone.
