Blade really feels heavy and too sharp. This chef knife really blows my mind with it's first impression. The blade really gives a feel of weightage.It really very sharp to cut any vegetables. I tried to cut onion and I didn't need to apply any extra pressure on blade, it's smoothly cuts the onion very smoothly.I got really surprised. It also looks premium and worth the price. I also recommend you to buy this knife. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for money *by on Reviewed in India 17 May 2026* It's very sharp and of premium quality great for cutting jackfruit. Value for money ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true Japanese knife on a budget *by on Reviewed in India 8 August 2026* I have a few Victorinox knives and a few others including steel ones made by grinding HSS blades. This is a different approach to knife making, even though it is SS somehow the metal is springier, it sings. The edge the balance and the cutting is better than expected for 400 bucks. If you know knife work you will appreciate it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kai Japanese Hocho Premium Sharp Santoku Kitchen/Vegetable Knife, 6.77 Inch Blade, Black, Carbon_Steel - UrbanFix Large Natural Bamboo Wood Chopping Cutting Board for Kitchen Vegetables, Fruits & Cheese, BPA Free, Eco-Friendly, Anti-Microbial Durable and Easy to Clean (34 x 24cm) - Kai Gift Box Hocho Premium Japanese Kitchen Chef Knife 7.36 Inc.
