KEEMAKE Sashimi Knife Japanese - 10.5 inch Sushi Knife VG10 Stainless Steel Single Bevel Blade, Perfect Rosewood Handle Yanagiba knives

These are great very sharp knives, intact so sharp I cut myself first time I used them. I first bought the 8” chef knife which turned out to be much larger than I expected so I ordered a 6.5 inch but received another 8” which I returned but will be try again ordering a 6.5. If you are looking for very sharp knives that hold their edge this is a great brand but keep your fingers out of the way.

It’s a sharp knife out of the box. Time will tell how it how’s its edge. It’s got a nice weight to it and looks beautiful. My wife says it looks medieval… maybe she’s just mad I won’t let her use it.

A very fine knife. I wanted a single edge blade--this is sharpened on the right side as you hold the knife. Good handle. Cuts nicely. made in China.

Arrived on time. Good quality knife.

If I had known it was made in China I might not have bought it. For being made in China it seems to be well made. Not what you expect from something made in China

So nice product

The front cutting edge of this knife has been irrecoverably damaged by the manufacturer grinding a second bevel. This knife will never be able to be sharpened properly due to this damage. A real yanagiba only has a single flat front bevel and a concave ground rear face. Again, do not buy this knife if you want a real yanagiba for cutting fish. The second bevel is so deep on this knife that you’d have to spend hours/days grinding it down, which would leave you with a much smaller blade and could only be accomplished with specialized equipment. Do not buy this knife.

I am not an expert in Japanese steel, by any means. I wanted a nice fish knife for breaking down large pelagic species on the west coast. I bought this knife because it looks very nice, doesn't break the bank, has the thickest spine I could find, and appears to maybe have a full tang (not 100% on that tho).The quality, out of the box, appears great. The blade and hilt are one assembly and mate with the G10 handle, it could still be a full tang in there. The spine is perfectly smooth; like perfectly (someone on here complained they had a mold line on their spine). The edge is seriously freaking razor sharp. For the money, I don't think you will find a better deba knife.
