MOSFiATA Chef Knife, 10 Inch Ultra Sharp Meat Carving Knife, High Carbon Stainless Steel Cooking Kitchen Knives, Brisket Slicing Knives for Turkey Roast BBQ Vegetable with Micarta Wooden Handle Gift

Very sharp and comfy to use. Cuts well and looks great with Damascus steel pattern on blade. Handle is sleek and ergonomic. Cheapest price around too.

So whilst I trained to be, I am not a professional chef, just an enthusiastic amateur, and a bit of a knife geek. I have a selection of Sabatier knives currently that I try to keep sharp with 800, 1000, 2000 & 3000 Whetstones. So, whilst definitely not a pro, I would like to think myself as "competent". I had set my heart on a new set of genuine Damascus knives for my new kitchen, only to discover the money had run out after the new hob. I happened to buy the Mosfiata Damascus effect bread knife as I never had a decent bread knife and thought it would be a good stand in. Wow! what an impact that knife had on me, full tang, well balanced and definitely well made. I have always wanted a beautiful Japanese folded steel knife, but having always used Western style knives never took the plunge to retrain my skills. So when I saw this after my bread knife purchase I decided to try it. It is just lovely. It arrived blisteringly sharp and easily passed the paper test. It is wonderfully balanced and very nicely weighted. The blade has a lovely subtle curve on the tip that lends itself to vertical and rocker chopping. Some reviews have complained it isn't sharp enough... mine was, but even if it isn't you need to learn to sharpen a good knife, otherwise spend £20 on a Chinese no-brand. No, of course it isn't a real Damascus knife - it is < 20% of the price!!!! So stop moaning about that. If you want a real one stop whining and pony up the £160++ to get a real one. The laser etchings are however subtle and inoffensive. This is a lovely lovely knife that I have just used to make dinner tonight, well balanced and a pleasure to hold and use. I do still covet the the original Japanese steel, but boy this is a lovely standin.

Good quality and price

The knife is well balanced and feels surprisingly light for it's size, is also a dream to hold because of the ergonomic grip. I can use it for hours without tiring. It holds it's sharpness well too. The blade shape took me a while to get used to have I haven't used a nakiri before but I use it for basically everything now. Despite it's size, it doesn't feel clunky, the blade is sharp and I can work precisely with it. The reason I gave four stars over 5 is that the blade steel feels quite soft, and if not cared for properly will be corroded by acidic foods and prone to rust, so it needs to be treated with care and respect. Overall this is great value for money and a good quality knife

I can confirm that this knife is indeed sharp. it was quite tricky to get it out of the plastic sleeve - hence my fingers. The knife looks good and I expect it preform well. If not I will update my review.

Sharp, beautifully balanced the perfect knife.

Beautiful knife, but very sharp, you will cut yourself

This is a FANTASTIC knife shrap as sharp can be 5 ***** from me
