Chef Knife - 8 Inch Knife - VG10 Stainless Steel Blade 67 Layer- Japanese Chef Knife - Razor Sharp Professional Carbon Steel Knife for Chopping - Pork chops, Mincing Knife with Wood Box By Toron

It comes exactly as described, nice box and very sharp. I haven't used it yet, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it'll make quick work of anything that needs to be sliced, chopped, diced, whatever. Shipping was sluggish but when I received the product all concerns were gone. Update: After a few months of use, the blade remains as sharp as the day I received it. I hadn't previously owned a proper chef knife, this has been a total game-changer. I dreaded slicing veggies; now it's quick and easy. Mincing/dicing garlic or herbs is no longer a chore. Outperforms my carving knife for meat. Best knife I've had (limited experience noted, also haven't abused it) and highly recommended.

Excellent damascus stainless steel embedded high carbon edge. High quality. Takes a little bit of sharpening with proper, fine Asian knife sharpener stone and it becomes as razor sharp as the Shun and Miyabi knives out of the box. Good balance and the edge holds up well. Comfortable grip allows fast, good work. The knife comes in a nice box.

Very impressive looking knife at half the cost. The decorative wood box makes it very convenient as a gift. I believe this knife is fabricated in China from Japanese steel. It comes with a very sharp edge. As with all my knives I will hone often to maintain an edge commensurate with the product.

WOW! This knife is very impressive and the quality is fantastic. Love how you can clearly see all of the layers of the Damascus Steel in the blade. Great hand weight for any chef. Sharp right out of the box and ready to use.

Excellent knife and a great price. Right away you can tell its a premium steel, and razor sharp out of the box. The damascus design is beautiful.

I use this knife to chop vegetables and meat for my stir fry meals. Carved turkey at holiday, too. Wonderful. My biggest concern is finding a reputable craftsman to sharpen the blade.

I gave it 3 stars (neutral opinion) because I have high expetations for knifes. I do use this one as my every-day knife and it serves the purpose.

I work in a restaurant and i have over 50 knives from Victorinox, Heckles, Shun, Mercer, Yoshihiro, Miyabi, Bubba....and more, Toron knifes is pretty good feeling, wt. also, hold its edge, so for the price its a good knife.
