TUOSantoku Knife Pro Asian Chef Knife 7 inch Kitchen Knife Non-stick Cooking Knife for Vegetables Fruits Meat, AUS-8 Stainless Steel with Ergonomic Handle Gift Box, Ring Lite Series

Super sharp out of the box and it’s been great to use so far. The shape of the handle takes a little getting used to for cutting, it’s a smaller grip than I’m used to. But the knife works great and arrived with no issues out of the box. Have used it to cut fruits and veggies (including an entire watermelon) for about 5 meals now and still just as sharp as day one. Blade looks to be a decent quality steel. For the money, you can’t go wrong, it’s now my favorite knife!

These knives are as beautiful as they are sharp. Makes me want to show them off to everybody I know. Great knives that are affordable. What more could a cook wish for in a knife-affordable, pretty & sharp. I have several of these & love them all.

O do not ask a lot of this type of knife. I use it mostly fro cutting through food wrappers and close in paring and it is more than adequate for these tasks,It is a very attractive knife and has an interesting aspect. Its handle is too wide to fit in my knife organizer. It sits on top of the slot making it very easy to find in the drawer.

Excellent for cutting chicken and other meats, but I really like it for making my own rib tips out of slab ribs, this knife cuts slabs real easily before cooking, I buy the pack with 2 slabs in, then cut to make tips.

Nice knife for the money. I use to be a professional chef with over a grand in knives. Now in another line of work but still cook for gatherings. Seems like I misplaced my paring knife and at the moment feeling cheap, I got this one and couldn’t be happier.

This is the 5th Tuo Ring series knife I’ve purchased for myself and I’ve also purchased 5 others for family and friends. Very nice quality and extremely sharp. I have many Shun knives and these are nearly as good for a fraction of the price.

We didn't have anything like this in our kitchen and I was curious enough to buy it. The short, curved blade is very handy for peeling apples, a la "Sleepless in Seattle". It's also very well made and very sharp.

This is the best serrated knife we've ever had in our kitchen, by far. It really is a game changer. I want to get another one for the garage for cutting drywall, rockwool cubes, foam blocks, etc.

I wanted a Santoku 5.5" in the Phoenix line to match the rest of my knives however the only one available is in the Ring Series. I'm very disappointed with this knife. Yes it is sharp, seems to be holding and edge and the smaller size over my 7" works wonderfully but that is all I can say on the good side. The handle only fits the hand if you hold it like a hatchet and then it doesn't index to the blade, it does not fit the palm of the hand like the Phoenix series. The blade has a very square back edge with no bolster straight down from the handle to protect your finger when using a pinch grip, the blade edge comes all the way back so if your don't pay attention you can easily slice your finger in releasing your grip or moving or index finger to clear items from the blade. The back edge of the blade from the handle down to the blade edge has a very sharp square edge from machining and digs into your finger causing chafing and blistering when using a pinch grip this should be chamfered to reduce this. The back of the blade should have been angled forward away from the handle (like on the Pheonix series) to allow for a comfortable pinch grip hold. The Ring on the handle is loose and is turning after only 3 uses, the knife has never been submersed in water, wipe with damp towel and then dry. The handle to blade transition doesn't give a comfortable hold with the pinch grip and the handle being completely round does not allow you to index to the blade and twists in your hand if you hold it only by the handle. I'm well pleased with the Pheonix series but can't recommend the Ring series.

This knife seems like a solid blade for the money, out of the box I was impressed with the balance and feel of the knife. The styling is nice and the ergonomics are good.BUT also out of the box the handle came with a split in it. Whether the handle material was improperly stabilized or improperly stored after manufacture the split is very disappointing.I would not recommend this knife just based on my and other reviewers experiences of getting a cracked/split/damaged handle. A good blade is useless if you can't hold it and use it!

Sure the knife isn't an ergonomic gem as a pro chef knife but it's 30 bucks. Sure it doesn't hold an edge like an elite Japanese knife that costs at least 10 times as much. If you ding it up, get it reprofiled at a shop for five bucks. Just use a normal kitchen steel to keep it at 96% sharpness of a hard Japanese steel knife. A knife nut job is going to spend hours using wet stones on hard steel to pretend he is a blacksmith samurai from the middle ages to get those few extra cuts at optimal sharpness. This is an absolute steal of a knife even if it's dinged out of the box (AUS-8 is so easy to maintain and craps on non descript metal).

Il est diffiicle d'évaluer ce produit à 100%, car nous venons de le recevoir. À suivre avec le temps pour la durabilité. La prise du couteau est bonne et la lame est très coupante et juste ! Un essai sur une petite tomate et la coupe est très juste (coupe lisse et précise)! J'ai aussi couper en mince lamelles des poivrons et c'était parfait. Le couteau tient sa ligne ! Pour l'utilisation jusqu'à date, nous ne sommes pas déçus de la qualité. Je recommande ce produit. Rapport qualité-prix excellent.

Knife feels amazing, tunes up pretty easy with ceramic sharpening rods, keeps a good edge for veggies and fruit. It’s a thin blade on purpose so it cuts awesome.My only complaint is the red accent piece behind the tang feels loose after 2 months, the handle is still solid though.It’s a great budget knife for someone wanting something different than a regular block set.
