Misono440/16 Chrome High Stainless Molybdenum Santoku 180 mm

Great knife for gifting

Fantastic knife. The perfect size for a home kitchen, or when space is a consideration.When people leave a review saying "this knife is crazy sharp", what they are missing, is that a knife is only as sharp as your skill on a whetstone. I can get a $5 knife from my local Asian grocery store razor sharp. What I can't do, however, is get it to keep that edge for longer than 60 seconds. This Misono knife has taken the razor sharp 6000 edge that I put on it, and still is brain surgery sharp a week later. This 440 steel is super hard, and was fairly challening to sharpen, so novices beware.Knife is perfectly balanced and highly recommended.

Sliced the end off a tomato so it could it sit upright unassisted.Four full strokes of the blade without holding the tomato and it was sliced in half again. So assuming it lasts- I’m sold.VERY light weight. Seems sharper than my Shuns.Not the knife for you if you like German heft and brutish blades. It’s the knife for you if you like nimble and light knives that are SUPER sharp out of the box.

Extremely sharp and sturdy. I've heard "Misono" is excellent brand for kitchen knife. It proves its reputation. High quality and sleek design. One issue with me, I've found it gets dull after one month use. You need a good grindstone for this.

Bought this as a gift for my husband to inspire him to cook while my family visited for Thanksgiving. It worked! He loves it. It's very sharp and has a much thinner blade than his other knives which he loves. He'd prefer it was a little heavier in weight but loves it nonetheless.

Bought this for my wife and she loves it. This is the first high end knife we ever purchased it and we will definitely be adding to our set. I'm not the cook of the family, but judging from the happiness and excitement from my wife, I certainly recommend this knife!

This is a must have in your collection. The quality is above par, super sharp and a fine addition to the kitchen.
