I bought this knife for my wife to use as a beater/everyday knife that she doesn’t have to worry about wiping it/cutting carefully. She wanted something lightweight/easy to maintain that was longer than the Zwilling Pro 5.5inch rocking Santoku she loves to use. I found this knife by watching a YouTube video on the C&M page and figured I’d give it a go since it was on sale. Safe to say it was a great choice! She loves the extra length and weight of the knife. She also loves how sharp the blade feels when cutting fruits/veggies. I love that she is using this knife now so she doesn’t mess up my expensive high carbon steel Japanese knives hahaha. We both win!
My only gripe with the knife after trying it, is that since it’s so light, it’s tougher to cut up denser fruit/veggies such as apples and onions. Onion wasn’t as bad since it was already cross-cut, but the apple split at the bottom instead of the knife cutting it all the way through. Overall, definitely a good purchase for someone who doesn’t have great cutting skills, wants a lightweight knife, and wants a super easy to maintain knife that is budget friendly. Would recommend!
