A shell seal Seki Magoroku six kitchen knives (Chef Knife, 210mm)

This is an excellent knife.I was gifted a sushi knife many years ago. It is the sharpest knife I've ever used, but it requires a lot of maintenance and TLC given that it is not stainless (can rust), has an asymmetric blade (more difficult to sharpen), and wood handle (not "dishwasher safe" although I always wash my best knives by hand). The Japanese make excellent steel and knives; the Americans (aka made in China) not so much. So when I used this knife at a friend's house, I was impressed and bought one. Nice weight, balance, sharpness, grip, blemish free and easy to sharpen. It doesn't hold an edge as well as my sushi knives, but that is to be expected. It's my go to knife.

Handle was to narrow for my liking. If I held the knife dead center it was fine. I have big hands so I like a regular style wider handle. Knife looks nice and cuts good. Ended up giving to a friend as a present.

This knife is amazing. The steel has kept its sharpness and it’s such a well balanced knife. Makes chopping fun!

This was my second one I bought but it’s my go-to knife for everything.

This is a wonderful and sharp knife turns anything i cut into butter . I buy meat in bulk and cut them into the desired pieces so I need a dependable knife and this one is standing up to the test. However, I will buy a knife sleeve for it. Avoid the unwanted cuts (yup did me). It is really sharp glad I bought.

This knife meets all the requirements of a great kitchen knife!

I gave it to my friend as a gift.she Love it.

The package the knife came in was all greasy and filthy and disgusting knife itself was fine but the Person handling it made the box extremely greasy and dirty
