Enso Hizashi 8" Chef's Knife

I work long shifts 5 days a week in a high end kitchen constantly cutting things, and this is my go to knife the majority of the time. Its 12° blade is something to keep in mind when using or purchasing it is slightly delicate but with proper care it will last a lifetime. It is important to note that unless you’re really good at using whetstones you are going to need to get Maxwell 3 Stage water stone knife sharpener they sell on this site.

Great value for the level of quality. Extremely sharp and balanced.

Good handle. Damascus + hammered for a reasonable price.

Unlike Yaxell Taishi has a good smooth cutting edge.

This line has really impressed me as a very nice high performing knife for a very reasonable price. Super sharp from the factory and keeps a very nice edge if you properly care for it.

This knife is so amazing when I open the box, not only Damascus but also hammered. Beautiful and good balance, I like this pakkawood handle, it is enough hard and not slippery. It has very sharp and very thin blade, the hammered body doesn't stick the food. Reasonable price.
