2.0 out of 5 stars
Not Good Enough,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chroma Haiku 10-Inch Carving knife (Kitchen)
I recently picked up this carving knife and have used it for a week now.
First off, the price paid for this knife was $44 and in the world of "You get what you pay for" I would not have even considered making this purchase; I got it anyway. The balance of the knife is very blade heavy. Overall it is a light knife, but it is not well balanced and is tiresome after a long day. The handle is extremely light and lacks enough weight to balance the knife. I therefore assume this is only a half tang design. The fit and finish on this blade is bad. The handle is oversized and bulky. Semi-ambidextrious handle favoring the left hand slightly more. (I'm right handed) The blade was very dull out of the box. The blade is stamped Made In Japan so I assume this is true (although there is a Chroma Haiku China which may be a knockoff?) The blade shape is good, slender and food doesn't stick to it; excellent texture. The blade thickness is a bit wide, but a good trade off given the superior blade stiffness. The soft metal is easy to sharpen and frequent sharpening is required. It arrived 1 day early and have been satisfied with it so far. I am definitely going to replace this one with another I have my eye on once it goes on sale.~$200 range. The Haiku is not up to par to do delicate work that requires feeling the blade. However, I find that for $44 it is good insurance for your nice gear. I use it as a eveyday beater knife that i can throw around the kitchen and not worry about rust or chips on the blade. If you are a hobby cook this may work for you. Definitely not professional caliber. 2 stars. |
