So I’d been mangling veg with a blunt old thing for years and finally got this gyuto. The 67 layers look beautiful and the VG10 core is no joke, still razor sharp after prepping loads of big meals. The wa handle took a bit of getting used to because it’s octagonal and I’m more a western grip person but tbh I think I’m converting. Balances really nice just forward of the heel, makes the rocking motion feel effortless. Came dead quick and well packaged, no complaints at all. For £75 you’d struggle to find better.

Honestly I’m proper impressed with this. Got it as a treat for meself and it’s so sharp it just glides through onions. The Damascus pattern is absolutely gorgeous as well. Hold its edge better than any knife I’ve had before, only needed a quick strop after a week of daily use.

Absolutely stunning knife. The damascus pattern is gorgeous and it’s ridiculously sharp out the box. Already sliced through a roast like butter. Came well packaged too. Proper chuffed with this purchase.
Kate (verified owner) –
Really nice knife, beautifully sharp and the damascus finish is class. Only thing is I sort of wish I’d gone for something a bit longer – 7.5 inches feels a touch dainty for breaking down bigger veg like butternut squash. Still, it’s a joy to use and well worth the price.

Alright so I’ve been using this daily for a fortnight now and it’s a brilliant all-rounder. The VG10 core takes a wicked edge and doesn’t need constant touching up, which is a godsend. Done everything from fine dice on shallots to carving a roast chicken, blade just glides. Was a bit worried the 7.5″ might feel short but honestly the balance is spot on and it’s got that nice flat gyuto profile for chopping. Massive step up from my old supermarket knife, that thing’s gone in the charity shop pile now. Only tiny thing, the handle took a couple meals to get used to but I actually like how light it is now. Wouldn’t swap it.

Got this for my husband’s birthday and he’s proper chuffed. The damascus pattern’s even nicer in person, dead elegant. Came in a lovely presentation box too. He used it to slice through a sirloin joint paper-thin, absolute razor.

Had this knife a month now and its my go-to for pretty much everything. The vg10 steel holds an edge really well, I’ve only had to strop it once so far. The balance feels just right for me, and I’ve got small hands so was a bit worried about a 7.5″ but it’s actually spot on. Chopped through a butternut squash the other day no drama. The damascus pattern looks even nicer in person, got loads of comments when friends came round for dinner. Delivery was quick and came in a nice box, would make a lovely pressie.

Ok so i got this for my husbands birthday and hes chuffed to bits with it. The blade is stunning, really nice wave pattern and its razor sharp out the box. Made light work of a roast chicken on sunday. I’ve been pinching it for chopping veg during the week and now I want one.
Gary Morgan (verified owner) –
Really pleased with this knife. The Damascus pattern looks class and it arrived properly sharp. Its a bit heavier than my old gyuto, took a few days to get used to but now I’m finding I actually like the weight. Only little niggle is the handle – feels a touch too chunky for my small hands, would of preferred something a bit slimmer. Still a cracking blade for the money though, no trouble recommending it.
Sophie Pearce (verified owner) –
It’s a decent enough knife but I’m not blown away honestly. Came well packaged, the Damascus finish looks nice, but in use it feels a bit stiff. I expected more of that smooth rocking action you get with a gyuto, it just doesn’t flow the way I wanted it to. Sharp out the box and holds its edge fine so far, can’t fault the quality. Just feels a little… soulless? For £70 I dunno, might of expected a bit more feel. Probably will stick to my old Kai for most jobs.

Great knife for the price point. Sharp as hell and looks the part. I’ve got other Japanese knives that cost more but this one holds its own. Minor thing is the blade is a bit thin for heavy chopping so I use my old one for butternut squash. Everything else it flies through.
Tim Stevens (verified owner) –
Brilliant knife. I was a bit sceptical at the price cos it’s cheaper than some others I looked at but it’s quality all the way. The rocking motion on the gyuto is lovely for herbs. Already recommended it to a mate.
Ross Gray (verified owner) –
Got this last week and it’s already my go-to knife. The blade is razor sharp out the box, made chopping veg an absolute pleasure. The pattern on the Damascus is lovely, proper looking thing too. Cant fault it for the money.
Nathan King (verified owner) –
Ok so the knife itself is brilliant, amazing edge and feels premium. I just wish they did a slightly longer version, 7.5 inch is fine for most stuff but sometimes I fancy a bit more length for carving. Still a great buy.
Phoebe Patel (verified owner) –
Honestly one of the best knives I’ve owned. The 67 layers aren’t just for show, the blade feels sturdy and cuts like a dream. The wave pattern is really eye-catching. Arrived well packaged and sharp as anything.
Scott Allen (verified owner) –
Really impressed with the quality of the blade, the Damascus pattern is beautiful. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the handle took me a few days to get used to, it’s a bit different shaped to what I’m used to. But now I love it, cuts veg like nothing.
Ryan Dixon (verified owner) –
Bought as a gift for my dad who’s a bit of a foodie. He loves it but said it’s a touch heavier than his old one. Still, he’s used it for everything from onions to steak and reckons the edge lasts ages. Came nicely packaged too.
Dean Burke (verified owner) –
It’s alright for the money. The blade is sharp and the design is nice but I wasn’t blown away. The handle feels a bit cheap compared to my Wusthof, and the balance is a little off for me. Does the job but I expected more given the hype.
Scott C. (verified owner) –
So I’ve been using a cheapo set for years and thought I’d treat myself. This Misuzu is a massive upgrade. The VG10 core holds an edge far better than I expected. Did a whole chicken with it the other day and it was effortless. Handle feels good in the hand too.
