Huusk Kiritsuke Chef Knife - 9 Inch Japanese Kitchen Knife

I had low expectations for this knife considerin it cost only twenty bucks but I was pleasantly surprised. It came reasonably sharp that factory sharpening is never adequate for me and on this knife I decided to find out just how sharp it could be, so I first sharpened it on a 1000 grit King water stone then, just for fun, I hit it on the 5000 grit too. WOW! This knife can take an edge! It can keep it too, at least as well as any of my other knives. Super sharp, very light weight and a very useful style. What's not to like? I highly recommend this knife.

Husband loves this knife. Great buy . Very sharp. Cuts thru the bone.

I’ve been using the Huusk Japanese Kitchen Knife Set (3-piece hand forged) daily for all kinds of meals, and I’m very impressed. The knives are extremely sharp, lightweight, and have a luxurious look and feel. They perform beautifully with everything from vegetables to meats, offering clean, precise cuts every time. The craftsmanship really stands out — they feel balanced and comfortable to hold, even during long cooking sessions. Overall, this is an excellent knife set for anyone who enjoys cooking and wants a mix of performance and style. Highly recommended!

Knife came in safe and in good condition ofcoarse for a brand new knife. One downside I've noticed is the bevel, both sides weren't sharpened properly. One side the bevel was sharpened good but on the other side the bevel was sharpened half a$$ so I had to end up running it on the stone upon arrival to fix the bevel. Had the knife for about 2 weeks. Tested it on poultry, fish (big boned) and beef. It really holds it's sharpness to where you don't have to constantly use the honing rod. It can cut chicken bones and big boned fish bones without chipping. All in all great knife for a low price. Definitely a bang for your buck.

Just great

Very sharp great knife for the money a very good value and recommend buying it

It seems to me that if you take care of them, they will maintain their quality for a very long time. The handle feels balanced and the blades are maintaining an extremely sharp edge, so they have been nice to work with over the last month or so. Doesn’t hurt that they are also attractive knives

I like this knife, comfortable, and I like the other knives in the set. Sadly they must be stamped and made with a cheaper steel. They dull very quickly. I sharpened them and again they dull fast.
