Earphone, 7.9 x 2.1 x 12.6 inches, Navy Blue

The 3 stars are for this particular YoshiBlade set, not the seller. I have purchased this identical product in the past... exactly the same packaging and items. However, the first knife and peeler were extremely sharp and wonderful to use. The knife fit perfectly into the protective holder. I have had them for several years and they are still very sharp, but just starting to look worn. I decided to order the same set online. The original set was bought at a WalMart store near my home, but they no longer carry the product. Evidently, the one I received from Amazon.com (my luck) had some problems. Knife is not as sharp, and it could not even be forced into the holder at all. Peeler not sharp and would barely peel a potato and only with a lot of pressure applied. I was really disappointed, because I know from experience that this should be a fabulous knife and peeler set. This is not the sellers fault - they did their job well and I would give them 5 stars. Order was sent quickly, with no problems in shipping. Unfortunately, it just seems to be a defective product. I will contact the seller and ask if they will replace it. YoshiBlade knives are FAB. At least my first one was! Still gonna try to find another one, as it has been my favorite knife ever.

I was surprised how well this knife works. In fact it was better than a more expensive ceramic knife I had tried. I have had this for over a year and use it daily. It has discolored a little. The key is to take care of it. This knife NEVER sits in the sink. Once I finish using it, before I do anything else, I wash it then dry it with a clean dish towel and slip the cover back on. I don't even let this drip dry in the dish rack. If you have ever wanted to try a ceramic knife, the low price is worth it. DO YOUR HOMEWORK---The average price is about $20.00 but I have found it for as much as 40% less.The blade is about 5", but it would be more suitable if it were 6" - 7" long.*Please note: I gave this 4 stars ONLY for the knife. As for the various websites selling the Yoshi Blade, I have no comment one way or another.

The Yoshi Blade, is sharp and stays sharp just like it says it will.That was what I was looking for. The ad said it would replace a drawer full of knives. The truth is, when I opened the box the first thing I got was the care instructions that told me all the things I could not cut with the Yoshi blade. Do you know you can not cut Hard Cheese with the Yoshi blade.They never tell you the do not cut list when they advertise the Yoshi blade.No Chicken unless you take out the bones first. In fact no meat with bones at all you might chip the blade.Be careful what surface you use the blade on. It should be plastic or wood. If you want to cut something on a ceramic plate Don't use your Yoshi blade, you might break off the tip.The blade will still be sharp, but it will be chipped. It won't pit or rust, but it will chip. They don't tell you that.

I paid $8 total for a Yoshi knife and peeler. Everyone that cooks in our kitchen has been impressed with it. The sharpness is comparable to a $100 Japanese knife I chose after researching best recommendations from professional chefs. The plastic handle feels substantial enough, but still cheap. I have had no problems with breakage or dulling after a month of use on a wood cutting board. The absolutely straight edge creates a little awkwardness for me at the end of each downward stroke, since there is a bolster that prevents complete contact with the cutting board and I'm more accustomed to a knife with a very slight curve, but the adjustment in hand motion is easily accomplished.For the money, this is an exceptional value. It won't impress any friends, but if that's your goal, you probably aren't shopping for a Yoshi knife anyway.Update: after several months of use, there are tiny chips at the very tip of the blade. They don't impact the knife's ability to slice through anything like butter. I also understand why the bolster extends past the blade - it prevents the entire blade from touching the cutting board and getting twisted from any kind of sideways hand movement, which puts extreme stress on the blade and promotes breakage.

I had a previous Yoshi blade for well over a year and loved it, until it broke (my negligence, I accidentally hit it against the counter really hard.) It cuts tomatoes and other small vegetables really easily. I bought this as a replacement and expect to love it as well, but beware - the ad shows the knife in the original packaging but when I received it was in a plain cardboard box with photocopies of the product materials and warranty. This is NOT in original packaging as with the first knife I bought. I examined it closely and it looks clean and may not be used, but it makes me very uncomfortable. This seller has it the cheapest that I saw on Amazon, but you might want to pay full price or at least ask before buying if it will come in manuafacturer's packaging. I would not buy again from this seller, would definitely buy the knife again. Knife rating = 5. Seller rating = 2.

I am not sure where all of these other people are from, but the reviews that are negative are MISLEADING!!! This Yoshi Blade Ceramic Knife Set is the best gift anyone has ever given me! My husband & I received it as a wedding gift. When I received it, I thought, wow a $19 knife?! Well, let me tell you, this knife is worth every penny!! I would pay $49.95 for it! I have had it for 2 years and it hasn't dulled any. It is just as sharp as it was the first time I used it!! It is dishwasher safe and never rusts! The peeler is amazing too! I have only used it on potatoes (I am sure it works just as well with other foods) and it is so fast and removes just the peeling. It doesn't remove extra potato and isnt sharp to the touch, so you won't have to worry about chopping your hand off. I absolutely love this product!!! I never use the other knives in the house now. Well worth the money and would make a great gift for anyone!! 5 STARS FOR YOSHI BLADE!!! -TN  Yoshi BladeTM
