HOSHANHO 8 Inch Damascus Chef Knife, Professional Japanese Damascus Super Steel Kitchen Knife, Ultra Sharp Cooking Knife with Ergonomic G10 Handle

(2-3 weeks in use) Great knife!! Has become my go to, usurping my J. A. Henkels chef. The handle feels heavy at first but oddly does not affect or feel unbalanced and quickly becomes comfortable. Very stable even in small hands, it will not rotate!! I've thin sliced frozen ginger without fear, not something I cannot say about other (often far more expensive) quality kitchen knives. Edge is still "scary sharp" with only a pass or two of a chef's steel to re-stabilize the edge. 5 star for sure!!!

Super sharp right outta the box. Very nice balance and appears to have good quality.

Really impressed with the sharpness and how rigid this blade is. It was perfect for the brisket, prime rib (ribeye roast), and half ham I made over the holidays. Handle has an amazing feel to it and it’s probably the best fitting handle I have in my collection and it was on the affordable side. And the weight is in the desired range. It cleans off so easily it’s ridiculous

Well balanced and oh so sharp! Most of our knives need to be sharpened each use, and dull quickly. This beautiful knife slices right through everything!

Buy it when its on sale. Good quality for the average person but not worth the regular price imo. There's good knives out there for good prices so do your research before spending hundreds

I bought this for my wife as a Xmas gift, but I had to check it out before wrapping. So, I'm not certain as to whether it is true Damascus clad or not. That does not affect the functionality of this Chinese made knife. The core and cutting edge is what the knife is all about. Yes, Chinese made, but I knew that. Some of what comes out of that country is garbage, but after doing research, some of the knives using Japanese steel are pretty decent. This knife came RAZOR SHARP RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. At the price point I purchased this at, it was a pretty good deal. So, for those who expected a $400 knife for $30-$40 dollars, you will likely be disappointed. If you don't know how to treat or use a knife, you will be disappointed.

Got this for my kitchen savvy hubs. He likes this knife a lot. The reddish handle is nice too.

Love this knife! It is so sharp and so easy to cut! It is easy to clean and handles well.

Im Allgemeinen arbeite ich in der Küche mit Messern einer alten, großen deutschen Marke, mit denen ich auch super zufrieden bin. Da mir das HOSHANHO Kochmesser in seiner Optik sehr gut gefiel, habe ich es mir bestellt. Ich kann sagen, dass es mit meinen Profi-Messern absolut mithalten kann. In der Artikelbezeichnung wird zwar VG10-Stahl angegeben, tatsächlich ist das Messer nicht aus dem bekannten japanischen VG10 sondern aus dem chinesichen Äquivalent dazu, dem 10Cr15CoMoV-Stahl hergestellt, der jedoch in seiner Qualität dem VG 10 in nichts nachsteht und ein excellenter Stahl für Küchenmesser ist. Mit einer Härte von durchschnittlich 60 HRC (58 - 62, je nach Verarbeitung), einer sehr guten Korrosionsbeständikeit und einer sehr hohen Verschleißfestigkeit besitzt er nahezu die gleiche Zusammensetzung wie der VG10. Bei der praktischen Anwendung bin ich begeistert - sei es das gute Handling, die topscharfe Klinge und die Ausgewogenheit des Messers. Im Schleifwinkel von 12° geschliffen gleitet das Messer mühelos durch jegliches Schneidgut. Der Griff aus G10, einem mit Glasfasern gemischter Epoxidharzwerkstoff, liegt sehr gut in der Hand, rutscht nicht und ist optisch ebenfalls sehr ansprechend. Ich bin mit diesem Messer sehr zufrieden und kann es vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen.

Sehr zu empfehlen

Bought this on sale for a very reasonable price. Made in China not Japan but exceptional quality and sharpness. Also looks to be Damascus steel which is great for the relatively low cost.

Gut in der Hand. Schöne scharfe Klinge

Wow super qualité et tranchant
