Chef Knife 8 Inch Damascus Japan VG-10 Super Stainless Steel Professional High Carbon Super Sharp Kitchen Cooking Knife, Ergonomic Color Wooden Handle Luxury Gift Box

I just got this and I Love this Knife.It is sharp out of the box. Looks like real VG-10 steel.The blade, spine, tip, handle are in perfect condition.The knife geometry is perfect, Identical like the Kramer by Zwilling 8 in chef's knife.Considering it is at least 3 times cheaper of the cheapest Kramer by Zwilling 8 inch stainless I can say it is an excellent knife. I do a lot of grilling and cooking and trimming me and slicing things perfect and there’s nothing worse than a dull knife that’s too sick! This knife is perfect my buddy recommended it so I got it and he was right if you do grilling and you cut meat chicken ham anything definitely get this knife the plaNice.

This product is made in China. The cutting surface is stainless steel. There seems to be damascus etching on the non cutting surface of the blade. I am returning this product.

while I still don’t know for sure if this knife is Damascus steel, I can tell you that it is a very good knife. I have used it for about two months now, and it has held its edge just fine. I used the highest power magnification I have (30X loupe) and yes, there are areas on the edge that could be multi-layer steel, but the way the blade is polished near the edge just does not look right. In any case, for the price, this is the best kitchen knife I have. I changed my rating from 3 stars to 5 stars based on the quality and performance after 2 months of use.

The real Damascus steel pattern is not only revealing on the surface but also in the depth of each dimensions, when I polished the very first surface, the pattern disappear. Beside their posts of official picture, the pattern stops sharply on the junction to the wood handle. I understand I can’t buy a Damascus steel at this price but the propaganda is so misleading. 67 VG-10 layers? You better think I’m dumb enough to believe that. Is still a ok knife, just not 67 steel layer damascus knife.

I cut a lot of BBQ with this knife. It’s still as sharp as the day I got it (razor sharp). Time will tell how it holds up. I got mine on a daily deal and saved $30 so I feel like it’s a good value.
