KEEMAKE Paring knife Japanese 4.5 inch Small Kitchen Knife, Japanese 440C Stainless Steel Sharp Fruit Knife with Octagonal Wood Handle Utility Knives

For the price, cost of it, best knife ever ! Stay sharp for so long, I have it for around 4-5 year already and still one of the shapest knife I have. Easy to use, just wish it came with a blade cover.

Bought as a gift for my wife. Great knife! Very sharp, comfortable handling and looks quite nice

Super shape out of the box but will need whetstone sharpening about every other week to a month depending on how often you use it/what you’re cutting with it. I’m a sushi chef and have a lot of fun using it at work but it’s definitely not for skinning whole loins or slicing sashimi. Get you a nice yanagiba for that. But it’s perfect for slicing through rolls and has that classic Japanese look and feel. The grip of the octagonal shape of the handle feels a little sharper than others I have (similiar style set) but I’m sure will smooth out as I use it more. Great blade shape! Performs kind of like a short fat chefs knife or like a chefs mixed with a santoku so you get best of both worlds for cutting technique! Nearly perfect balance for nice stability when using. Excellent quality for the price and look! Instant classic and one of my favorite new toys already! My only wish is that I wish it came with a felt lined sheath or wooden sia. I’d pay $5 more for the standard sheath or $10 more if it came with a sia that fit! But seeing as we’re on the cheap things delivery app it’s easy to just buy something from another brand.

well balanced and very sharp, beautiful handful.. Usefull particularly for smaller hands, but appreciated by everyone in household for it's ease of use. soft plastic blade cover not particularly useful for protection of blade. Dappled blade aids in releasing cut foods quickly.

I’m a professional chef and have been for 10 years. This is a wonderful knife for anyone just starting to cook or someone like myself who uses knives everyday in the workplace. I wanted a vegetable knife that wasn’t as expensive as a shun or miyabi but still holds a good edge . This knife delivers that. It has a little bit of weight to it which is very nice when cutting through large onions or carrots . It has a good balance . It stays sharp and looks beautiful, doesn’t look cheap like alot of 40$ knives do. The handle is beautiful as well and makes for an easy hold. The nonstick coating along with the hammered blade is gorgeous. It’s a beautiful knife that gets the job done and maintains a good edge, I also don’t have to worry about dropping or chipping it because it was only 40$ . When I use my Miyabi I am very meticulous where I put it and how I treat it because it’s a higher class of knife that requires more care and costs alot more money . This knife delivers everything you need and I will defenitly be buying more products from this company in the future .

As a home chef I am always looking for new tools at reasonable prices to expand my collection. I learned about the benefits of this blade style and found this knife. It's a beautiful knife with a Damascus blade and a hardwood handle. The hexagonal handle is good but not great for comfort. Blade was very sharp when received and held its edge for months. I had a professional blade shop sharpen it and it is holding the new edge very well. Very good knife for the price point.

Very good weight and balance. It's an attractive knife with a very nice wooden handle and asharp edges. Great value.

Great knife that holds and edge, and arrives extremely sharp from the factory with a nice storage box. Thick durable construction, clean looks and and excellent value. If you want one get it.
