Review: Good 10 dollar knife - I am an owner of several higher end knives from Japanese forges (Makoto Kurosaki, Toshihiro Wakui and so on), and this knife is by no means the same level of production, it's not a particularly impressive steel, it doesn't have nearly the same hours of work put into it as those, but this is not a high end knife, this is a 10 dollar knife. With all that said, I was actually pleasantly surprised by this knife. The knife is overall lightweight, the handle is a lightweight wood with a half-tang construction which ends up tipping the balance point towards the blade itself, this makes the knife more suitable for a pinch grip (for those less experienced, this is a good thing) The fit and finish was surprisingly good as well, neither the spine, nor choil has particularly sharp edges, making the pinch grip very comfortable for a 10 dollar knife. While the handle is reasonably fitted to the blade. Cutting performance is really exceptional for such a low-pricepoint knife, it is by no means exceptional, but the blade is significantly thinner than that of European style knives, this means the blade geometry will make the knife better at cutting soft produce. In order to compensate for the thinness, the steel is not hardened to a very high HRC (probably around 56 I'd say), this means that the edge retention is not particularly good, this knife will need frequent honing if you want to maintain the out-of-the-box sharpness, this is the same as with most low-mid end knives. That said, this knife is so thin and soft that honing is actually quite enough to maintain a decent edge, you will not need to sharpen this knife if you are otherwise used to European knives. And because of the blade geometry, this knife will still cut quite well even when dull. It should be noted that this knife is NOT intended to handle the same workloads as thicker blades of equal or lesser hardness would. This is absolutely not a knife meant for hard produce such as bones. It is purely a vegetable and filet knife, which it does better than any other knife in this price bracket, from my experience. Overall, this is an expectational knife for the price. Personally, I grab this knife whenever I just want to do a quick prep without performing the ritual of care that high-end knives require. But I can imagine that if you don't otherwise have a high-end Japanese-style knife, this knife can easily become your favorite knife for vegetables and fileting.
Review: Best knife for the money, hands down! - I am a pastry chef and having been using this as my every day knife for 2 years now. I bought it on recommendation from a colleague and have not been disappointed! This knife is lightweight, well balanced, and comfortable. I have tried many of my colleagues knives all at varying price points, and while some of them were a little better or could be used for more things, I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on a knife. This knife arrives really sharp and has maintained that edge fairly well over the two years I have had it. I can count on one hand how many times I have had to sharpen it on a wet stone. I do use a steel to hone the blade everytime I use it, and if I'm doing a lot of. Slicing and dicing I may hone it multiple times. Just a couple pulls on each side and it can slice through tomatoes ease and cut herbs without bruising them. The blade is a little thin for cutting anything that is too hard, like a block of chocolate, but I have a larger, sturdier knife for things like that. But for an everyday knife to chop fruits, veggies, and some meats, it gets the job done. You will not find a better knife for the money. And everyone of my co-workers who have tried it out cannot believe that it cost me less than $10. I have 2 other Kiwi knives as well, and while this one is my favorite because of the size and utility, they are also of equal quality and have maintained an edge with only one wet stone sharpening each. Kiwi has a customer for life in me!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the item durable?**
A: I found mine stabbed into the knot of a tree at a lake. 

I took it home and rehoned the blade and not is still my favorite knife 7 years later. So yeah, they're pretty durable

**Q: Best sharpener for this knife?**
A: For stone 
400/1000 3000/8000 Premium Whetstone Knife Sharpener with Leather Strop, Flattening Stone,

**Q: What is the thickness of the chef knife?**
A: The blade is very thin. I don't have anything that would measure it. It's thinner than my Henckels and Cutco knives. Terrific chopper.

**Q: So the picture shows 10 different knives.  Do they all come with this?**
A: The title says SS 8in Thai Chef Knife and the price is $8.00... no, it's only the 8in Thai Chef Knife as the title says. Probably just a lazy seller, this way he doesn't have to take single pictures of all the knives and post them. With this picture he can just use one picture of them all.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool a Very sharp blade.
*by C***Y on September 27, 2026*

The shape of this knife is cool, that’s the Main reason I got it. It’s also super sharp and a little thinner than the German or Japanese knives, but that’s all right it weighs less. I just used it and the kiwi knife works so great. I also just sharpened it at 15 per side and it’s so sharp. Recommend.
