It goes perfect with my new knife set. I be yet to have a problem cutting through anything including a soft orange. Has a consistent slice. Blade is very sharp, handle is very beautiful made of brown and black wood with a silver plate at the bottom. ### ⭐⭐⭐ You better know how to sharpen! *by A***. on January 9, 2019* I purchased this knife as a starter's chef knife. Initially it worked very well, but within 3 - 4 months of use it needed sharpening. The first few months make cuts rather effortless, but I don't feel like I can control the knife all too well. The weight of the knife tends to get in the way of precision. I'm not so sure I would say this knife is made with "High Quality" metal, but it's better than run-of-the-mill Stainless Steel products. ### ⭐ One Star *by D***Y on January 2, 2018* This is a joke lol sharp /edge on one side and handle fell off do not waist your time! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/38329854-platinum-professional-gyutou-8-inch-chefs-knife-high-carbon-stainless](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/38329854-platinum-professional-gyutou-8-inch-chefs-knife-high-carbon-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
