Review: Very Sharp - I like to think of myself as a pretty good home cook. I like to use fresh ingredients and meal prep. Cutting vegetables with this knife was a dream. Very sharp out of the box and beautiful as well. For the price this is definitely a knife you should buy and get away from the big brand knife sets. There really is a huge difference.
Review: Nice Knife - This knife strikes me as being of excellent quality. I've had and do have quite a few knives, and while most have been very sharp right out of the box, this one just seems to be a notch above the rest, in terms of sharpness out of the box. Which, honestly, surprised me a little, I didn't really think it was possible. Low layer count Damascus blades, (like this one), can have a cool, dramatic look when done right. The trick, though, to making the patterns pop is using metals that will have a more dramatic contrast between them. When people use metals that are the same, or very similar in hue then it can be difficult to see the patterns, which is a terrible shame because Damascus patterns can be so beautiful. The pattern on this "LeeKnives Kiritsuke Knife" is more visible than on some knives I've seen but, if the right choices had been made, they could have popped more. My thinking, and my hope, is that the choices made had much less to do with aesthetics and more to do with the forging together of metals that will produce knives that have hardness without being brittle and are capable of maintaining an edge without constant sharpening. Though, I know that can be achieved with higher contrasting steels too, sooo.. yeah. The edge on this blade is absolutely capable of making the cuts demonstrated in the video, if you're looking for a kitchen knife with those capabilities, this one will do it for you. I tried to get shots that would show some of the patterning of the blade and I'm definitely a sucker for mosaic pins, so I had to get a shot of that too. The dimpling on the blade adds a stylistic looks as well as making the knife a little more light-weight, and it also reduces surface area, (more surface area contacting the cutting medium increases drag), which helps allow the blade to pass more easily through whatever you're cutting. This knife will definitely become a part of my kitchen arsenal, rather than being passed on, as so many knives in my life have been over the years, and will continue to be before the end. I'd recommend giving it a try, I think you'll be impressed with it too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish it was package better instead of just plastic bag
*by J***B on February 19, 2024*

The blade is super sharp right from the box but nothing is protecting the edge or the point it so it might get damaged (which it did but nothing you can see with our human eyes) should have just left it with the sheath when being shipped/package over all the quality of the blade it's super solid for day to day use
