Enso Chef's Knife - Made in Japan - HD Series - VG10 Hammered Damascus Stainless Steel Gyuto - 8"

je suis satisfait de par son ergonomie qui rend ce couteau stable et équilibré en main. Sa finition damassé est aussi belle que tranchante. À ce propos, le tranchant de ce couteau possède la qualité des marques beaucoup plus chères. C'est un véritable morceau du made in Japan, dans le sens qu'il est bien conçu, d'une qualité évidente et classe, Mic.

So normally this knife sells for $150. When I saw that it was 33% off for under $100, I had to pull the trigger! The packaging was a little basic compared to some other knives I've bought so I just recycled it. I polished the blade right out of the box up to a Shapton 12,000 grit ceramic whetstone. I stropped it on a 1 micro diamond compound leather strop to a mirror shine. It's first test was Christmas dinner prep. The very first slice met Zero resistance! As I kept slicing and chopping, I started getting nervous. It glided through even hard root vegetables like it wasnt even there. It is the sharpest blade I've ever used and I grew up in a restaurant kitchen! I know it was overkill on how much I sharpened it but I catch and cut a lot of fish so I need it sashimi sharp. I have somewhat smaller hands but the handle felt very comfortable even after a couple of hours of use. I was a little concerned about the bolster being too thick for a pinch grip but it wasn't an issue and felt natural. VG10 isn't the best steel but for every day home cooks, it comes at a great price point. I haven't had it long enough to test the edge retention but I'm very confident that I can bring it back to a Crazy level of sharpness easily. I'm now seriously thinking about getting the same nakiri version. I absolutely love this knife and now it's a very shiny jewel on my magnetic knife block.

I purchased this knife as a gift and it looks, feels and cuts just as described in the above reviews and description. It is gorgeous and sleek. Definitely a worthy purchase for chef's knife enthusiasts or fans of knives in general.

This knife is amazing! Hands down, the best knife that I’ve handled in all my years of cooking. I am a simple, at home chef and this is almost too perfect for my prep, and additional everyday use. Beautiful craftsmanship, perfect weight, razor sharp. You can see the hammered top half ( which is extremely impressive as it separates meat/veg from the knife as you cut) and then the bottom half has damascus running through it, it’s just impressive. Cannot go wrong. It is a little costly, at $150.00 per knife, but you get what you pay for. It’s a great, solid knife. I would 100% recommend this to anyone in need of a knife. It makes you even more excited to get in the kitchen. That is how you know it’s a lovely piece. (wish I could get the set, but it’s $1000.. still gorgeous, just not in my budget)

Nicely crafted Damascus style blade for a good price. Cuts extremely fine and so sharp it is easy to control.
