Huusk Japanese Cleaver Knife for Meat Cutting, 6.7 inch Hand Forged Chef Knife High Carbon Steel Sharp Kitchen Knives for Chopping Vegetable, Ideal Gifts for Men and Women

I’ve been using the Huusk Japanese Kitchen Knife Set (3-piece hand forged) daily for all kinds of meals, and I’m very impressed. The knives are extremely sharp, lightweight, and have a luxurious look and feel. They perform beautifully with everything from vegetables to meats, offering clean, precise cuts every time. The craftsmanship really stands out — they feel balanced and comfortable to hold, even during long cooking sessions. Overall, this is an excellent knife set for anyone who enjoys cooking and wants a mix of performance and style. Highly recommended!

This Huusk Nakiri knife is a game-changer in the kitchen. Razor-sharp, perfectly balanced, and stunning with its VG10 Damascus steel and rosewood handle. It slices through veggies and meat effortlessly. Feels great in hand and looks premium—ideal as a gift (especially for Father’s Day!). Highly recommend for anyone who loves to cook.

It seems to me that if you take care of them, they will maintain their quality for a very long time. The handle feels balanced and the blades are maintaining an extremely sharp edge, so they have been nice to work with over the last month or so. Doesn’t hurt that they are also attractive knives

Blade is as expected, correct length and sharp out of the box. I'm not happy with the handle, the gold ring is not flush with the wood and has a harsh edge.

Beautiful very sharp knives quality is amazing. No rust or stains after the first few months of use is still very sharp designs are very unique per knife, threw away all my other ones for this pack very worth it if you’re a cook in the kitchen or just simply a day-to-day use.

Well made knife and it looks good. I can use it to chop veggies or make a peanut butter and jelly.

Razor sharp, maybe sharper. Well balanced. Great great valve for the price. Deff recommend!

I bought the 6.7" cleaver. The cleaver cuts well , and it is nicely profiled. Unlike a Chinese cleaver or a Japanese nakiri, which both have a blunt end, this Huusk cleaver has a slightly pointed tip, which makes it easier to make delicate cuts. It came moderately sharp. The factory edge is at 18 degrees per side or 36 degrees combined. The steel feels soft. I tried to touch up the edge with a honing steel, but it immediately produced a persistent burr that made the knife feel much duller than before. After stropping on a leather strop loaded with aluminum oxide white rouge, the edge became very sharp and could slide paper with ease. I'm unsure if it's really carbon steel like it says in the product description, because I don't see any staining or rusting after use. It's probably made of stainless steel. It's stamped out of metal sheets and ground to produce the tapered edge profile. It is not a forged knife. The black color on the blade looks like it's made of thick black paint to imitate the look of black scale resulting from genuine forging. The fit and finish is mediocre. The lacquer finish on the handle is rough, and the brass spacers are not flush with the wood. Despite the "Japan" label prominently printed under the Huusk brand name, I'm highly doubtful that this knife was actually made in Japan. It has all the traits of a Chinese-made knife. When a product goes out of its way to tell you "Japan" and uses Japanese buildings in the advertisement to impress you, you should question whether it's genuinely Japanese-made, as opposed to only a Japanese-style knife that was actually made in China. Although the knife works well, I am inclined to give it only 3 stars because there are several areas of deceptive claims: highly doubtful it's made in Japan (probably made in China), not made of carbon steel but rather made of stainless steel, the black forging scales are painted on and are not genuine forging marks. Fit and finish of the handle is very subpar.
