kaigroup A Shell Seal Seki Magoroku six Kitchen Knives (Santoku Knife, 165mm) (AB-5156)

This is an excellent knife. I was gifted a sushi knife many years ago. It is the sharpest knife I've ever used, but it requires a lot of maintenance and TLC given that it is not stainless (can rust), has an asymmetric blade (more difficult to sharpen), and wood handle (not "dishwasher safe" although I always wash my best knives by hand). The Japanese make excellent steel and knives; the Americans (aka made in China) not so much. So when I used this knife at a friend's house, I was impressed and bought one. Nice weight, balance, sharpness, grip, blemish free and easy to sharpen. It doesn't hold an edge as well as my sushi knives, but that is to be expected. It's my go to knife.

This is a wonderful and sharp knife turns anything i cut into butter . I buy meat in bulk and cut them into the desired pieces so I need a dependable knife and this one is standing up to the test. However, I will buy a knife sleeve for it. Avoid the unwanted cuts (yup did me). It is really sharp glad I bought.

Handle was to narrow for my liking. If I held the knife dead center it was fine. I have big hands so I like a regular style wider handle. Knife looks nice and cuts good. Ended up giving to a friend as a present.

Super sharp! Wish it comes with a case.

I did not buy it off Amazon, I received one as a gift from my friends. I can assure you that you wont be disappointed with this knife. it is very sharp and light weight, simple & elegant design, I love it so much. I see some review mentioned that their knives got rusted but mine did not. I wash and dry them right away every time. I only sharpened it once after 1.5 year, using regular sharpener stone bar, and it works like a charm again. Recommended!

This knife is amazing. The steel has kept its sharpness and it’s such a well balanced knife. Makes chopping fun!

I kept it since I damaged it.

I've been using a cooking knife I bought 20 years ago and it has been working just fine. I saw this reviewed in a magazine and decided to get this. I've used other knives in different kitchens and at my friend's houses but this one is on a different level. I haven't seen a knife this sharp and works awesome. Also, the price tag is very reasonable, and I've been recommending it to all my friends.
