Sekitobei Japanese Cook’s Knife, Stainless Steel, Silver, 38.3 x 23.8 x 8.8 cm

Works perfectly for cutting meat, fish, veg etc. We have had this knife for nearly two years now, and with a sharpen every now and then, have had no issues. I regularly put it in the dishwasher too.Note that it is hollow and very light so don’t expect a luxurious heavy knife feel.For me it is a decent, good quality knife that gets the job done at a bargain price.

Nice in the hand.Lightweight and sharp enough for the intended purpose, also cuts hard cheeses very nicely, all round versatile and handy pair of knives.Great price, overall great value and while not mindblowing sharpness, surprisingly good for a mass produced knife.

Good knives, a little light weight and unbalanced but sharp and useable. Fair price.

This knife is a thing of beauty. Extremely sharp and well crafted, feels very good in the hand and makes short work of anything in the kitchen. My only con with it is that it comes with a 10 year guarantee but no details of how to register the product. All in all, a fantastic purchase.

I was right, I love it when I am right!I gathered that all those overpriced kiritsuke knives are made in China and they are just very good knives and so this one would be too, and it is.If you want a proper Kiritsuke, ask a Japanese sushi chef for a reputable merchant and then get a second mortgage.

Love the knife, wish it came with a protective sleeve though.Has rated sharp for 3 months but now needs a little sharpen. Was introductory knife and will now purchase more costly one.

At first i was impressed with my new knife, it was very sharp and cut a lot finer than any of my older and cheaper knives, but in less than two weeks the blade was dulled and struggled to cut tomato's, even after sharpening it , the blade is still not as sharp as it was straight out of the box. So, it was an improvement on my old knife, but i would not recommend this knife

So having tried several Sekitobei knives for a while, I can say with certainty- these are the best of the ones I tried from Amazon. Over the last year I have bought different knives and even though in their description it said it would be ok to put them in the dishwasher - it wasn't- they were all ruined very soon...These knives have served me well and they survived after being washed in dishwasher over the last months! Nice quality, thanks!
