HEZHEN- 8.5" Chef Knife, 110 Layers Full Damascus Steel ,Japanese Style Kiritsuke Kitchen Knife, Gyuto Octagonal Handle, Magnetic Wooden Sheath Case Wooden Box

This is the second most expensive Chinese-made knife I own, and it's worth every penny and more. Its very thin blade glides through vegetables with ease. This is a "laser-style" chef knife, meaning the blade is light and thin. With the blade's thinness and half-tang construction, it shouldn't be used for heavy-duty chopping tasks such as hacking open squashes or using the side of the blade to smack down on garlic cloves with great force. Using heavy chopping force would possibly cause the handle to fail. As long as you recognize the limitations imposed by its laser-style thinness and its half-tang construction and use the knife accordingly, you will be very happy with the performance of this beautiful Damascus chef knife.

Come sharp as heck and looks super cool. Highly recommend

very good knife to start with, it is beautiful and makes precise cuts. But it is very delicate, the handle only supports an inch of the tang, so if you use too much force it can break, if you need a strong knife, better a Deba

It’s a stunning blade, very lightweight. Comfortable in the hand. I am a Sous chef at a 4 diamond hotel and use my knives like no other. It has very quickly become my primary knife and holds its edge far longer than any of my other knives. I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a strong kitchen knife without breaking the bank!

Love the blade, hate the handle. The octagonal handle is sharp with points on end. Not a nice hand feel. Blade is super thin and very sharp. Thinking about trying to sand handle down to smooth feel. Then it would be 5 star

The build quality is top notch and its very light weight. The edge is super sharp. It offers more knife than those made in Japan and it's affordable. Edge retention will be something to report back in three months.9/12/2024The trade-off for the lightweight blade is that it’s slightly too flexible, causing the tip to bend when dropped. Additionally, it’s not a full-tang knife, which reduces its ability to chop through ribs effectively.4/14/2025The handle separated! Poor quality. It was only used for cutting sashimi which is once per month.

Being a professional chef for 25 years and owning numerous different brands of knives I highly recommend this knife. The balance is superb and the sharpness of the blade is top notch. The handel fits perfectly for superior control in my hand even when mincing tiny garlic cloves. The presentation case is top quality. I have been using this knife for over a month now and highly recommend it.

No es lo que esperaba.
