Review: This is NOT your average kitchen tool - 1.The knifes build quality is very good, the spine is very thick at the back end and tapers down to a nice chopping V. 2 .the handle is solid wood, and held in place with three fasteners. 3.The Huusk has a grip ribbing at the back of the blade that keeps the knife from slipping. A knife has excellent weight ( overweight but not too light either) and very good balance. The Huusk comes right out of the box very sharp so be careful I almost cut my finger wiping off the blade! I also own the other husk knife(see photos) and it is razor sharp as well the knife comes with an excellent protective cover that is stylish and as well as practical I suggest you definitely keep the knife in the cover when not in use and definitely keep this knife away from children. The quality of the blade is excellent and the metal is even with no pitting and no defects in the steel, I love the dark black Machining at the top of the blade and the smooth finish on the cutting edge. I've used my other new blade to cut a hogie sandwich straight down the middle through the thick sesame seed bun with very little effort, the cut was clean even and with no tearing of the bun,meat,cheese, or mushrooms on the sandwich. This knife will cut veggies, and meat with ease! You can cut with percesion and get thin cuts you can see through. BUT if you plan on going through bigger cuts of meat like say beef ribs I suggest a larger scale knife. If your separating a thawed chicken or cuts of meat in that size range you'll be amazed at how well this steel cuts. This Huusk knife is now my Favorite prep and steak knife! I just threw out my old 9 inch cutting knife. This is a game changer! The price VS performance makes this a great buy for anyone looking to up their cooking game. I suggest you get a sharpening steel or whetstone to maintain the great cutting edge of this knife. The knife wipes clean with warm water and light soap, I would NOT put this Knife in the dishwasher, after cleaning try a few drops of vegetable oil on a paper tell and wipe down the blade to keep it oiled and new looking. I love this knife.
Review: Great find. Will purchase again. - Bought knives as a gift and were very well received. The knives are quality, beautiful, sharp, and ready to use.

## Features

- A Gorgeous Huusk Cleaver Knife--Not only does it have all the qualities you want in a Japanese cooking knife, but also its craftsmanship and style are refreshingly unique. Each Huusk meat knife is handcrafted using a 138-step design and sharpened manually by blacksmiths. That means a sharper edge and lasting durability, so our Huusk chef's knives will stand the test of time.
- Sturdy Design--Huusk meat cleaver is made of premium Japanese steel, and rated at 58±2HRC for extreme edge retention. Crafted differently than a traditional Western-style kitchen knife, the most noticeable feature is the outrageous thickness of the blade! Because of that thickness, the blade can be stronger and less likely to break.
- Ergonomic Oak Wood Handle--Huusk forged knife has a solid, sturdy oak handle to securely hold the blade. The handle arc is uniquely designed to tuck into your palm, giving you a firm grasp. Each Huusk Japanese knife is extensively weight tested, allowing you to slice with perfect control. By no means fatigue due to extended use prompted to the palm or wrist.
- Versatile Camping Kitchen Knife--This multi-purpose meat cleaver butcher knife can take care of a variety of tasks, such as slicing, cutting, and mincing vegetables and meat. And come with an exquisite gift box, our Huusk knives are also the perfect gift for family and friends at Christmas, weddings, birthdays.
- HUUSK GUARANTEE--HUUSK is a well-established company and each sharp Huusk chef knife goes through a rigorous test before every shipment. Our goal is to give our customers a satisfying shopping experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A skeptically honest review
*by A***R on September 10, 2022*

I will admit, I saw a tremendous amount of negative feedback about this particular blade. From quick dulling, to shoddy workmanship resulting in poor fit and finish, amongst various other things. But, I liked the geometry, of the handle and the size of the blade rather than a larger butcher knife, and as a knife Aficionado with years of making knives as well as sharpening them for about everyone I know, I thought why not give it a chance. If it's not all that, I'm not out much. I was pleasantly surprised. First off the ads are very misleading, this is not hand hammered or forged obviously. It is stamped cut steel, but it is what it is. However, right out of the box, which is actually quite nice, it was actually quite sharp near the front portion of the blade about halfway down. While it did not have the shown and discussed jimping as was in the ad, I was glad that it did not because I personally do not like jimping. It's a fairly hefty piece of steel but not overly weighty, and upon putting it back in the sheath actually cut myself. Not being an amateur, these are just things that happen and that was no one's fault but my own obviously. But at least it was sharp enough to do so. Upon measuring the edge geometry, it appeared to be more of a 30° than the traditional 25° that I like, but I re-honed the rest of the blade to all be 30° so it would be uniform. Having done so, I think this might be advantageous insofar as it retained its edge quite well. First things first, make CERTAIN to give it a proper washing. It is covered in grease, which is a very good thing, and the blackening process of the faux forge needs some cleaning as well. Which of course I did again after sharpening at 30°. During processing of food, I sliced thick breakfast sausage which as we know if the knife is not sharp, will often just mash through instead of properly slicing. It did very well. From there I went to slicing potatoes and dicing them for frying, after which I sliced and diced mushrooms. Throughout the process it never lost its edge. I wear large size gloves, and the handle did not feel too small, and actually was quite comfortable and smooth. The chopping and rocking motion of the blade allowed for a multitude of different types of food processing, and no hot spots. After utilizing the blade in its entirety, it still maintained its edge which I can probably attribute to the 30° angle which in this case is good for something that's also going to chop. At the end of the day, I was quite impressed which I did not expect. Not only would I buy this item again, I would recommend it to friends as it is quickly becoming my favorite kitchen knife, and is very handy in a multitude of different handling positions. While the sheath is slightly thin, it functions well, and carries nicely on the hip. And, should one decide to use this in the woods, which I will try some time when hunting, the spine is quite shard, and actually sharp enough to strike a fero rod without having to re-grind to do so. So overall, I am quite impressed with this blade.
