Chef Knife - Perfect Kitchen Knive for Cooking, Chopping. Japanese Steel Knife for Home, BBQ. For Balance & Control, 6.3 Inch

This is a cool little thing. It looks like the renaissance fairs but doesn’t only have a pretty face. It is durable ,very sharp, and a good value for the money. Fits the hand nicely and it cuts and serves food turn it to the side and it serves like a pancake flipper. Works great with lasagna. It seems to be durable.

I bought this Matsato chef knife for about $29. First of all the knife is made in China even though much of the statements mention Japanese steel methods. The actual steel grade is not mentioned but since it is magnetic and not dishwasher safe my guess is a 400 series stainless steel which is common for cutlery. Many reviews either say the knife is very sharp or very dull out of the box. That's subjective. I have experience with knife sharpening and can tell you mine was sharp enough. It had some pull. I ran it on an Arkansas stone as a matter of routine for me and the edge got super sharp. That thin slicing tomato crap is non-existent on any knife so that is not a good measure at all. A tomato needs a serrated blade. Period. As with most Stainless steel knives the sharpness will soon disappear. That's why chefs use a hone or steel so often. It has a full tang thru the handle. The rivets and wood are tight to the tang. No wobble. The wood handle is symmetric on both sides. The balance is fair with it being slightly heavier on the handle end. No biggie. All in All this knife is an outstanding value, well made and I recommend it.

For the price, not too bad. I got It for $55. It stayed sharp for a bit. With the help of a wet stone. Not too bad at holding an edge long enough to get the job done. It has good ergonomics. I mean, I think this knife for sure Is stamped or lathed steel though. But for what It Is, at the price. I dig It. Plus the blade doesn't look half bad.

This is a great knife! So sharp - even chopping onions is fun now! But be careful - it IS sharp! I suggest that you treat the handle with mineral oil though... otherwise, LOVE THIS!!! Just don't drop it on your foot:-)

This is a great knife and easy to handle. If you’re looking for a sharp knife this is the one to buy.

well made,.sharp, fit the hand seamlessly. Very happy for kitchen ... the one knife for extended wilderness camping here in alaska.

I hate the lies and deliberate misleading ads for these knives or any company that misleads you it's unethical and this is a perfect example of a bait and switch. This is advertised as Japanese made knife and when you get it and look on the back it's made in China. The ad shows Japanese hand hammering, fabricating a hand made knife when it appears to be powdered metal completely different than lead to believe. So now it is a good knife, very sharp and dangerous but i thought I was buying a Matsato hand made knife when I got was a Huusk that cost almost $10 less so but the Huusk you will save money and get the same knife.

This Matsato chef knife exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I held it, I could tell it was built with quality and precision. The balance is perfect, making it feel natural and easy to handle whether I'm slicing vegetables, chopping meat, or prepping for a BBQ.The blade is incredibly sharp and cuts through everything effortlessly. I love the hammered finish—it not only adds a stunning, rustic look but also helps reduce food from sticking. The wooden handle is smooth, ergonomic, and gives a solid grip even during longer cooking sessions.This knife has quickly become my go-to for all my cooking needs, and I honestly look forward to using it every day. Highly recommended for home chefs and pros alike!
