Review: Quality of steel, sharpness, comfort, effortless!!! KYOKU worth having in your knife arsenal!! - Extremely sharp blade, use to carve Prime rib roast… slicing from 11/2” thick to paper thin. Could have gone thicker with no problems!!! Used to process boneless pork butts, after preparing 18- 20 butts, blade held sharpness very well. Handle comfortable, overall knife weight and slicing abilities very impressive. Would recommend this knife to others.
Review: Good - Good quality. I’ve been using it for almost a year and it’s still sharp and works very well.
