This is the most beautiful knife. Exquisite detail and craftsmanship from tip to tip. Great cutting through anything you put in front of it

Dorothea Z.

This knife looks so stunning with its Damascus blade and Mother of Pearl handle and its its utility equals its aesthetics� An awesome all around knife, especially if used sporadically and well maintained, at all other times left to look good on magnetic block or similar display.

Mauro C.

It's got very good sharpness, out of the box. The manufacturer says it's hardened to 62 Rockwell. It should hold an edge well at that hardness, but a fine edge will be brittle and easy to chip. This is best suited for slicing meat and veggies, not hard chopping. Almost too pretty to use.

Daisy M.

This knife is beautiful and sleek. It's a perfect chef knife.

Guy S.

Sharp knife and the Damascus blade is absolutely gorgeous. Comes in a nice box perfect for a gift.

Herbert R.

It's a nice sharp Damascus blade with a sweet handle.

Pauline C.

Pretty handle but slippery once wet. Blade has held an edge fairly well.

Quinton D.

It is amazingly made in more ways then one. The handle is so beautiful and perfect for my hand. Feels good cutting all things. The blade is so cute too. Marbled movement of metal is amazing. Love it. Good buy.

Otis P.

Beautiful knife! Bought it for my husband who is a chef! And he is obsessed! So that makes me happy!!

Paula M.

I've purchased 2 knives in this series. I wanted the best knives I could afford and pare down to just 2 knives rather than an assortment of many. These knives cut beautifully, I can chop vegies, meat and bread with little to no effort and they're gorgeous to look at. The handles are easy to keep control of. Not only do the handles catch your eye, but the blades are also crafted with great detail. I purchased a magnetic bar so the knives are off the counter but easily at hand and easy to grab. I'd like to purchase a paring knife in this series as well. Great quality, beautiful to look at and really nice to work with. VERY pleased with this purchase.

Joesph L.

Good quality 8in chef's knife made of Damascus steel, very sharp, solid, with beautiful design on the blade. The resin handle is flawless, beautifully designed with vibrant coloring. The maker's stamp on the end of hilt is crisp and clear. The packaging was nice.

TALI W.

it was a gift for some dear friends. when i first saw it i thought it was so sleek looking i thought maybe we want one too. my friends say they always lash and dry and put it away right away , to sharp for there two year old. they have an eleven year old who is a cake chef in the making, she has been using it for all kinds of incredible creations.

Charity Benitez

I work with knives for a living and I must say that this is the best chef knife that I have ever used.

Ingrid Olson

I have been a chef for most of my life and have been using and learning about knives for many years. I have owned many knives, but this one might be my favorite. It is beautiful, sharp, and has a grip that is so comfortable to hold.

Ann Moran

The quality of the knife is excellent.

Nathanial Sullivan

I received a new chef knife from my wife. I was very happy to see it. I had a feeling that the knife was going to be not as good as it is. It is beautiful, sharp, and the handle is abalone shell. It's my first chef knife and I am sure it will not be my last.

Corinne Golden

If you are looking for a good chef knife, I recommend you take a look at this one.

Armand Matthews

This is a full tang knife. It is made of VG-10 steel which is extremely sharp. The blade is 8 inches long. The handle is made of abalone shell and it is very well made. It is very comfortable to hold.

Alyce Mullen

I was very skeptical that a knife like this could be sharp, but this one is as sharp as a good chef's knife. It's not just a knife for cutting vegetables, it can also be used for chopping meat, and it has a nice balance between sharpness and the ability to make nice cuts.

Sherri Villanueva

I bought this knife for the first time, just one time, it's really beautiful I love it!

Darin Colon

The chef knife is a workhorse. It can be used for a variety of tasks. I use it to chop, peel, mince, and dice. It's very sharp out of the box so you don't need to sharpen it. It's sleek

Willian Meza

I bought this knife about a year ago and have used it a lot when preparing meals. It is beautiful and sharp. I

Eileen Prince

I love the look of this knife. It has a beautiful olive green sheen on the blade and a beautiful abalone shell on the handle.

Tracie Chapman

I was in the market for a new chef's knife and happened to stumble upon this beauty while browsing the internet. I immediately knew that I wanted it (for other reasons). I was lucky enough to find this knife on sale and it was so cheap that I could afford it.

Janette Turner

This knife is beautiful and sharp. The VG10 steel is a great material for a chef's knife. It is very hard and won't dull easily. The abalone shell handle is stunning. I can't speak to it's quality, but I am sure it is top-notch for a chef's knife.

Louie Baird

I got this chef knife as a gift for my birthday. It is absolutely gorgeous. The knife is made of VG10 steel, which is one of the highest quality steels and is also very hard.

Roxanne Khan

I like to cook and am constantly on the lookout for quality kitchen tools that can make my life easier. The chef knife I received from you is a pure joy to use. It is beautiful, with a sleek and ergonomic shape.

Ivan Sawyer

I have been a chef in the culinary arts for over 20 years. I have owned over a dozen different knives in my time. These knives are by far the best I have ever purchased. They are beautiful. My wife said it was the most handsome knife she has ever seen. I have used several other expensive knives in the past and these are by far the best knives I have ever used.
