## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value and construction
*by W***P on March 30, 2026*

A great all purpose serrated knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous knife
*by A***R on October 4, 2025*

This is a fabulous knife. It cuts through crusty bread like butter. My husband and I love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Here's the answer...
*by B***C on February 12, 2022*

Some reviewers say it doesn't cut at all. Others say it's their favorite knife - like, for years. Why? This weird looking serrated blade -- rounded outward, not scalloped like a bread knife -- cuts only when you push it forward through the food. I was mystified why I could draw a brand new edge right across my skin and it did nothing. If I had pushed rather than pulled it across my skin, well that would be quite a different experience. (No, I don't usually test knives that way....) Just remember it is a "push" knife, quite common among Japanese designs. If you're accustomed to drawing a knife toward you (pulling) when cutting, this may not be the knife for you. It's not for chopping or slicing toward you, it's for pushing a cut through the food only. That's the answer.
