TheOne Knife,
This review is from: Stainless Steel Sushi Sashimi Knife
This is my only review in years of using Amazon. This needs a review! I love to cook, and have owned many knives in the last 39 years. This is by far the most versatile knife I have ever used. Back to buy 2 more as gifts. Virtually the only knife I now use except when only a much smaller blade will do. Still sharp after a year of constant use, slice, dice, smash, carve. Yes, a set of specialty knives will do a little better, but not much. Oh yes, its great for cutting sushi as well!
I just was back to get another as a present and saw the questions and review. A quick update from my usage. I am not any sort of knife expert, but an accomplished practical family cook with about 35 years experience. The bottom line is that its still the only knife larger than a steak knife I use. I have actually thrown out given the rest away. I have had to sharpen it two times with a inexpensive stone picked up locally, and I was surprised how well that worked. Its last major task was Thanksgiving when it chopped, diced, and carved up a meal for eight. I find the shorter size, and I believe slightly heavier blade than some sushi knives, helps to make it such a good all purpose knife. May not be the best at anything, still very good with everything I have tried. I am not easy on my tools and it has held up very well. The blade on this one is 8.5 inches and it does look like the less expensive Seki Ryu brand yanagi bocho as mentioned. Since the one I purchased has different markings, an almost worn out komodo dragon engraved in a circlular pattern on the blade, I cannot be certain its the same as this or the other one pictured it arrives. I originally paid about [...] and [...] shipping, so either way it is the same or less as 2 years ago.

*Tsk tsk*,

This review is from: Stainless Steel Sushi Sashimi Knife
I normally spend more time with my purchases before writing a review but in this case I want to make other shoppers aware of the fact that this very same knife is available on Amazon at a substantially lower price. Shame on the vendor for passing this off for something other, and tacking on a higher price, with no value added. In fact, the opposite is true, not only from the higher price, but from the misleading product name. They did not even bother to repackage the product--that is how I found out the original brand name. Now that I have the knife in my hand, I see that it is actually a Seki Ryu brand yanagi bocho.
For starters, this is *not* a Santoku and cannot be classified as a Chef's knife (gyutou) either. This is a yanagi-style sashimi knife. Blade length is 210 mm (8 inches) from choil to tip, which is very short for a yanagiba. The principle behind this type of knife is that from the sharpness and length of the blade one is supposed to cut fish meat with one clean stroke, no sawing back and forth, or the texture of the flesh gets ruined. Total length is 330 mm, and weighs in at about 77 grams! Spine thickness at bolster, about 1.78 mm. In any case, this is still a good buy, considering that the truly professional-grade yanagibas can cost up to a hundred times as much, or more. The handle is wood, D-shaped and because of this, plus the single-bevel edge, is definitely not meant for the sinistral user. I doubt if you can find a left-handed version. The bolster is plastic, instead of the traditional water buffalo horn--but what can you expect at this price? Fit and finish is fair, a tad blade-heavy (balance at about 30 millimeters north of the choil). To find the "cheaper" version of this product, just do an Amazon search for "sekiryu sashimi." I cannot determine what kind of metal they used for the blade, but for a single-bevel edge, it does not seem to be that sharp. Don't get me wrong--out of the box, it is still very sharp--sharper than any traditional western-style knife out there. The metal seems to transfer very easily onto a ceramic steel (soft?). I will see for myself how well it will sharpen, and how well it can hold its edge. Bevel angle seems to be greater than 15° (probably to protect the edge from the "average" user?), so it should sharpen to a much keener edge after I'm done with it. Despite the short blade, this knife should do very well for almost anything that your traditional slicer kitchen knife is used for, just not as rugged. For the budding Japanese-knife enthusiast, this makes for an ideal "practice" knife. So, in spite of all my complaints, I can still give this item four stars!

Not a bad deal for the price. It has a semi-rudimentary handle but it is Japanese and very sharp... I'd reccomend it.
