Matsato Chef Knife - Perfect Kitchen Knife for Cooking, Chopping | Japanese Steel Knife for Home, BBQ. For Balance & Control, 6.3 Inch

UPDATE TO PREVIOS 3 STAR REVIEW: Originally, I rated the knife at 3 stars. I did get contacted by the seller and they offered me a full refund, so customer service and satisfaction gets 5 stars! As far as the knife after sharpening and playing with it, it's a keeper. They have a special going at the time of my second review, which I could have returned and bought, but too much hassle in my opinion!!! This knife is heavy compared to the other long blade knives I use (there are two long knives I use on a regular basis for chopping along with the two utility knives). I used it for chopping and slicing through things. For chopping, I probably will use my other knives, the motion to do chopping with this knife is different because the blade is curved (not picking on the knife, I have issues with my hands and wrists due to carpel tunnel and arthritis, so the motion to chop with this knife is a bit awkward for me). For heavy duty work, this knife is great. It has bumped to the top for doing the heavy duty work. I tried cutting the husk off of a young coconut, cut through Cartlidge and cut open Lobster shell on the extreme sides successfully. The knife didn't fare too well in cutting ripe/soft/juicy fruits in my opinion, so I'll stick to my utility knives for such tasks. I tried twirling the knife the way they do it in the commercials/ads, but I couldn't do it on my index finger, my pinky seemed to be the right size for the twirling, but I don't have any control when I twirl the knife with my pinky!!!! Overall, I'll give the knife a 4 to a 4.5 grade, their customer puts them closer to 5. OLD REVIEW: Packing is cute; they try to make opening the box feel like opening an iPhone package. I like the handle and the hole in the blade. From the description the knife was supposed to be razor sharp and of course Japanese. The knife is made in China and the blade was dull. I ended up sharpening the blade for couple of minutes to cut a tomato properly. Out of the box, the blade probably couldn’t cut through milk! As far as sharpness out of the box, my Victorinox and cheap Daiso knives were sharp right out of the box. I’ll play with this couple of more weeks and update my review! So far, it’s a meh!

My husband, bless his heart, is completely smitten with it. It was a lovely present from my folks, and honestly, he barely needs an excuse to show it off to anyone who steps foot in our kitchen for dinner. It's become quite the star of our mealtimes! From the moment it arrived, we could tell it was quality – the packaging was super secure, which is always reassuring. And the knife itself? Goodness, it's unbelievably sharp, making meal prep a total breeze. We haven’t seen any rust we always hand wash it. Plus, the handle is just a dream very durable and lightweight; it feels so smooth and comfortable in your hand. It truly looks and feels like a top-tier, professional piece of equipment. Considering how much we adore this one, we're already buzzing with excitement about expanding our collection. Definitely won us over especially for the price!

Good quality and very sharp. I was afraid the social media promotion videos might be misleading, but it appears this knife is just as advertised. All of my knives are dull, and I was facing a massive sharpening project, but it appears this knife will get me going immediately. I will know for sure when I smoke a brisket this weekend.

A very nice knife, and feels good in your hand. It’s very sharp when I received it, but it did lose its edge very quickly, which I was disappointed in.

Best knife i have ever owned!!! I use it every day It’s perfect fit for big and small jobs. Slices through frozen food like melted butter. Amazing price for perfection!!!

Greatest knife ever. Sturdy, heavy, very sharp, uses high quality materials. I highly recommend

This is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. It stays sharp and can cut anything I have in my kitchen.

Not so sharp! It’s a nice knife however they forgot to sharpen it before shipping. As far as the other qualities go, I will have to post another review 6 months from now after extensive testing to describe the performance of this knife since now I have doubts about their quality. For now I am giving 3 stars due to the claim of being super sharp. Matsato dropped the ball sending me a dull knife after claiming it’s super sharp, I guess I have to sharpen it myself and as expected I will not buy your sharpener tool because I am concerned it will not be as described just like the knife…

A top quality item. An amazingly keen cutting edge.

Un buen implemento para quienes les gusta el cocinar

Good product for kitchen n outdoor use

Pas op voor je vinger dit mes is inderdaad zeer scherp
