FINDKING8 Inch Chef Knife, Damascus Steel Kitchen Knife, Cuchillos de cocina profesional, Sharp Japanese Knife for Cooking (Cheetah Series, w/Ebony Wood Handle)

Really like the grip I can get with this knife. I have a set of Globals and a few Shuns that work well but I have always thought I needed something with a better grip. Most bolsters are almost vertical and for a pinch grip especially with stumpy fingers that isn't ideal. This design seems to give better comfort and control.The Damascus is on par with my Shuns and you would swear they came from the same company. The product images are a little deceiving if you've never had a Damascus blade before. I think they take the pictures from certain angles or are changed in some way to see the pattern on the blade.My only concern would be longevity of the handle since I don't see any rivets and I'm curious how it is bonded to the tang. We'll see.Overall a very well made and designed knife especially for the price. (My Shun cost twice as much)

I will see the durability as time goes by

Upon receiving this knife my first impressions were disappointing. The Damascus pattern isn't as pronounced as the knife presented in the pictures and although the stated size, I was underwhelmed by the proportions of the handle. I had actually begun the return process without having used the knife but before reboxing it I decided to actually try it out.It is very sharp, well balanced, and comfortable in the hand. Paper thin onions, thick asparagus stocks cut on a bias, many sheets of printer paper...no problems. Now I'm just looking for stuff to slice. I will be keeping it.UPDATE: Two weeks and a half dozen uses in, I've noticed a problem. Either I missed it upon initial inspection (not likely) or because of VERY light use, the wood handle is showing some separation from the tang at the "pinch point". [SIGH] Back it goes. Because I am now fond of the knife, I've decided to exchange it, banking on the defect being an isolated incident. We shall see...🤞🏻

I highly recommend these knives for anyone who uses a pinch grip as much as I do. These knives are incredibly comfortable to swing. I only wish other chef knife companies had the same focus for designing a knife that works for people who use them at work/home. The handle was wrapped and oily to the touch (anyone else notice that?) Great sign that the handle is actually wood. I will be telling all my chef friends about this chef knife set! My calluses from using a knife are GONE and I don’t miss them. Edge held consistent for 8 days before I needed to hone and a month before I needed to sharpen (I use knives everyday for work). Tapered spine makes for much easier slicing and dicing and gives the knife a sleek/professional appearance. Over all this knife (set) is the cat’s MEOW! Well done! Thank you!

My husband and I are trying out different knives, so I bought this one for him as a Christmas gift (turns out, great minds think alike, and he bought me another version of the same brand). Out of the box, this knife is super sharp and cuts through hard veggies as if they were butter. After some heavy use, thus far, the knife has kept its edge, and still performs well. Design-wise, the knives are beautiful ... the Damascus details are simply stunning! The grip is something to get used to, but we don't really notice much of a difference between a traditional hold on the handle, and the suggested pinch? grip ... whatever makes you most comfortable. Would highly recommend these as a good quality kitchen knife!!

Quality knife and was VERY sharp out of the box. Very comfortable in the hand as well. I’m slightly suspicious of the Damascus claim though, the patterning in the metal isn’t nearly as detailed as it is in the photos and I’m slightly suspicious that the patterns were just etched/lasered into the finish. None of that detracts from performance however.

I love to cook, and this knife is a great asset to my knife collection.It is exactly as described. My husband had no ideas what to getfor Christmas, I went on and on about the same knife I purchasedfor our son...so I guess you could say he stole the idea from me!

I love this knife very much only thing is it's a little too light Iike my knives to b a little heavier... other then that great buy
