FINDKING Dynasty Series Kitchen Utility Knife, Multi-Purpose Japanese Paring Knife, 9Cr18MoV High Carbon Steel Blade, African Rosewood Octagonal Handle, Small, for Fruits Vegetables, 5 Inches/12 cm

Honestly brilliant knife for the price, it’s sharp as hell as well. Gone through my finger like butter so be careful. I was expecting it to feel cheap because of the price but the knife itself and packaging with all really good quality

The handles are quite large.... So smaller hands might not get a comfortable grip.... But these are absolutely stunning knives and so sharp!!!

Great knife light wait and very sharp great for me as I am training in kitchens. Would highly recommend this product to anyone

I am very satisfied with this product. Highly recommend!

No regrets

Really disappointing...was very excited about this product when I ordered it. Within 30 seconds of using it for the first time, the handle broke off while cutting a slice of cheese. Terrible product and don't waste your money. Tried contacting the company who have yet to respond after 10 days.

The steel quality is rubbish, I have stainless knives which hold an edge better.

Awful quality

Wyprodukowano w Chinach, ale jakość jest dobra. Ostry od razu po wyjęciu z pudełka. Dobry w tej cenie.

Als ich das Messer bekommen habe, war es scharf, so wie es sich gehört bloß nur nach wenigen Benutzungen. Circa vier Wochen ist das Messer komplett stumm. Ich hab’s versucht zu schärfen. Das bekomme ich nicht hin, dass er wieder so scharf ist wie man kann. Ich weiß nicht woran es liegt. es weist auch schon mehrere Spuren der Ver Rostung keine Ahnung, ich bin unzufrieden. Für das Geld hätte ich mir bloß was anderes gekauft.

Ottimo coltello

I recently purchased this and it's bigger brother (the 9" Kiritsuke) and am very impressed with these wonderful blades. I have always wanted a Shun or Yoshihiro VG10 Steel Gyuto style Japanese knife for my kitchen, but my lifestyle had never lent an environment where I felt I could own a multi-hundred dollar kitchen knife and expect it to be all it was meant to be without getting destroyed by misuse, lack of proper care and cleaning, and a potential for it to just go missing one-day. Now, I'm entering a time in my life where I COULD do that, however, I wanted to crawl before I walk before I run. I'm certain this $30 utility knife nor its $57 bigger brother would not hold it's own against one of the previously mentioned knives or anything else offered by those knife makers. That said, I am not a Chef and I do not have to depend on these knives in order to make my living. I do, however, enjoy cooking and when my prep time is reduced by having a sharp blade that can make the work quicker and more enjoyable, it seems the food is better, the mood is better, and everyone is satisfied. I take pride in having sharp knives and my past experiences with even higher-end German cutlery was that of constant maintenance. I had my whetstones out every 6 months, it seems, and was always running the blades across a steele to get that edge to liven up after only a few uses. These blades have not enjoyed as much use as my prior knives because I'm not currently cooking as often as I once did, but I have noticed that they were sharp enough for most people's standards right out of the box. I used them once, enjoyed the experience, but wanted to see how much more I could get out of them. I got out my whetstones and went to work on them. A 300 grit to fine tune the shape and define my edge angle, followed by a 1,000 grit to refine the edge a bit, then a 6,000 grit to remove any stray burs and give a slight polish, then a 12,000 grit to truly polish the edges. These knives are sharp. I've used them quite a bit on a mixture of bamboo and plastic cutting boards for a mixture of fruits, veggies, and meats, and have not had to hone or re-polish the edges since. They're holding an edge perfectly and continue to make me smile while working on prepping for my meals. Did I mention they look cool? The black looks painted on, but it doesn't affect the performance and since I hand wash these, it's not like the high-heat of a dishwasher is testing the durability of the paint (if it is paint). The texture helps with food releasing from the blade, so I like having that too. The octagonal shaped handle is great, not slippery - even with wet hands. Looking for entry level Japanese inspired kitchen knives made of hard steel (not soft German steel)? Look no further. Buy the whole set. That's my next move.
