## Description

desertcart.com: Kai Seki Magoroku Damascus Small Santoku Knife 145mm (AE-5201) : Everything Else

Review: A Shun knife for less? - I bought this knife because I do a lot of chopping and I think k the size suited me better than some of the larger knives. After quite a bit of research I opted for this knife for a few reasons: - the quality - made by KAO who also happen to make the much pricier Shun knives….. - beautiful finish with a gorgeous Damascus steel finish The second point is worthy of further consideration for folks that know about their knives. That this is made by the same company that owns the Shun brand means it has the same quality but at a lower price point. As others have said, the edge is very sharp and seems to last. Love the knife and can highly recommend it. Advise buying a knife cover so you don’t cut your fingers on it when rooting around your kitchen utensil drawer. Can’t recommend this knife enough.
Review: ... in a Marriott Residence Inn hotel and as I like to cook - I ordered this knife cause I lived for more than 8 months in a Marriott Residence Inn hotel and as I like to cook, I started getting crazy with the junk, they provide as knives. I also ordered the 180mm blade version and used both now for a while. I really like the design and the quality. Of cause there are even better knives on the market, but for more $$. I could still cut a tomato by just pulling the knife by 2 fingers after > 6weeks of usage with vegetables and some meet. To me the price/performance ratio is great. I just sharpened it after coming back home on a water stone and it just took a few strikes and it's razor-blade sharp in both directions again. I recommend this knife. For the $$ you paid, you get a good knife that will satisfy every private cook. Just don't forget to maintain it with proper manual sharpening on stones in a 15°-17° angle.
