This feels great in my hand, very sharp out of the box. The balance is somewhere between the blade and the handle, I couldn't quite find it. It feels a little more blade heavy though. The knife is also very beautiful.

Amazing knife, it came well packed, it came razor sharp, has a good weight for a knife and near perfectly balanced. I recently used it to butterfly some chicken legs, it went through effortlessly, the handle feels amazing in the hand especially if you have something on them
Fantastic knife and top notch customer service as always! The knife is super sharp out of the box, feels really good in the hand, and looks great.
Easy purchase. Good quality knife. Exactly as described. Can't wait to break down a couple chickens with it
What a stellar little Beast that is. Very very well made, tough as hell and all around the perfect Honesuki. Beautiful handle, tough and sharp blade and all that at a price point, that is hard to beat. Thank you guys for the fast delivery to germany and a very pleasing shopping experience. Till next time
The knife arrived very sharp. This is a beautiful knife, the pictures do not do it justice.
This knife is now a bit of a celebrity in the kitchen, with its absolute ability to be utilized like a precision tool. The greatest chicken butchery knife I've ever owned. It gives confidence not just in its looks, but sharpness and quality. And to be able to acquire it within driving distance, from a professional shop, is a blessing.
I have 6 knives from Sharp. From everything from a petty to two bonding knives. This one is by Fay my favorite.
Nice blade. Sharp out of the box. Carved out a cooked chicken with ease ... and avoided the bones. Easy knife to manoeuvre.
Great value knife. Very attractive, low maintenance. Generally I prefer more reactive steels that build patina, but this is a great honesuki.
Perfect
Awesome knife, good edge retention and a total blast to sharpen!
I was quite pleased when I opened the box with this knife - it is beautiful. And it made quick work of two chickens - cutting smoothly with that small reverse tanto tip easily getting into the "oyster" hollow and gliding across the ribs. The knife, out of the box, is super sharp - cleaving a paper sheet without slicing, just pushing straight down. I would buy this knife again in a heartbeat!
Aside from being a beautiful know I found it to be sharp and sturdy. It worked well trimming chicken breasts and was tough while separating wings. Can't wait to use it for more poultry tasks.
Great knife! Do a lot of proteins at work usually have to touch up my knife every week, I’ve not had to use a stone in over a month on this!
Very sharp out the box whetstoned it once and very happy with the performance handle is great feels nice in your hand I could butcher 50 chickens whiteout any discomfort very happy would recommend to anyone.
I have been interested in trying the Ginsan for awhile now and happened to be in the market for a Honesuki when I seen this, it’s nice and chunky where it needs to be yet still very light in hand, the stabilized birch handle feels very nice as well. I really like the hammered finish. Broke down a chicken in record time, very sharp out of the box but I did run it across a #1000 and strop before butchering.
Youre not going to find one better at this price point. I was interested in trying out this Ginsan steel, for a butchery knife, this fits the bill rather nice.
The cheaper one is nice, but this one is gorgeous, it has abit of a thickness to it but, fundamentally i love that. The photos dont do it justice, if you’re looking for a gorgeous knife and handle please buy this one over the cheaper one(unless youre on a budget).
