    Got this as a birthday treat for myself and honestly its brilliant. Was using a cheap supermarket knife before and the difference is massive. Makes light work of onions and carrots, glides through chicken breast without tearing it up. The balance feels just right, slightly blade heavy which I like in a gyuto. Only thing is the handle took a couple days to get used to but now it feels really comfortable. Lovely looking thing as well, the layers catch the light when you move it round.

    Absolutely chuffed with this knife. The damascus pattern is stunning and it holds its edge really well, used it every day for a fortnight now and still sharp as anything. Came in a lovely presentation box too.

    Got this after my old supermarket knife finally gave up, and honestly I’m chuffed. The damascus pattern looks even better in person. Sliced through a butternut squash like butter. Used it daily for weeks now, still razor sharp. The balance is spot on, not too heavy. Only thing is I need to stop leaving it in the sink, my wife keeps telling me off. Would recommend to anyone who cooks a lot.
