The dynamics of our sharp knives are complemented by the slip-resistant hexagon power grip. Chefs love these outstanding knives that sit perfectly in the hand and guarantee complete control, even under the most demanding working conditions.

It’s a good, high quality knife overall, but I have other knives in the under $100 range that are comparable or better. So while it’s a good product, I am not convinced it has the best value proposition. Pros: very sharp; nice weight on the handle - pretty much the opposite of flimsy; great size knife for everyday cooking - does a perfect job of chopping veggies, cutting meats and chicken. Appears to be high quality that will last over time although seeing as I’ve only had it for a few weeks, I can’t comment on longevity yet. Cons: just after a few weeks of very light use, the knife did not pass the tomato test - it was very tough to cut through even cherry tomatoes. Another very minor con: packaging looked very cheap and flimsy unlike the knife itself.. Ekaterina. Midland, TX. Fri Feb 28 2020

Best knife in my kitchen.. Anonymous. US. Wed May 27 2026

Miyabi 5000 FCD Gyutoh, 16cm blade. The gyutoh is the chef’s knife of the Japanese kitchen, used as a general-purpose knife for preparing larger cuts of meat and vegetables. The blade core is made of hard fine carbide steel for very good initial sharpness and cutting-edge retention. 48 layers of steel surround the core and make up the Damascus design of the blade. A three-stage grinding, sharpening, and polishing process called Honbazuke honing give the knife a razor-sharp cutting edge. There is no finger guard so the whole length of the cutting edge can be used. The edge is symmetrical (not a single bevel) so can be used by those both left and right-handed. The smooth join between handle and bolster helps to prevent calluses from forming on the thumb and forefinger. For best care, wash by hand, and maintain and sharpen using whetstones. Avoid using glass, ceramic, or stone cutting boards as these will dull the cutting edge.

Very versatile knife with an amazing edge. It’s extremely durable, has a nice weight in my hand, and makes cooking in the kitchen something I look forward to doing more because of this knife alone.. Zsa1. Thu Sep 24 2026

Forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel, offering precision and a lot of power in the hand, the Chinese cook’s knife will allow you to chop cabbage or cut wafer-thin slices from a tomato in seconds, while the wide blade is also ideal for scooping up prepped ingredients and transferring them to the pot. The fine cutting edge ensures exceptional sharpness, but should not be used on bones or very hard fruits (such as coconuts).

I hated this knife when I first acquired it. It felt heavy and unbalanced. Other Chinese style cleavers I have handled were much lighter in hand. Due to Wusthof's forging process, this knife is heavier and more substantial than traditional Chinese cleavers. Plus, the wide blade makes for a lot of metal, so be aware that this is not a lightweight knife. This knife just didn't feel right to me, so I put it away for a year or more. I decided to give it another shot and used it instead of a Western chef's knife for a few weeks. Once I got used to the heft and feel I started to like this knife more and more. Despite it's size, this knife excels at slicing vegetables. It is not a chopper--using it like a regular cleaver will damage the fine edge. Due to the relatively flat blade geometry this knife does not do rocking motions well. If I have a small amount of fine mincing to do I'll rock this knife and it works, but I don't like it and I don't think the knife likes it too much either. This may be the best knife in my house for thinly slicing onions. Counterintuitively, the large blade really helps here. Using a claw grip to hold the vegetables, this knife will glide against your knuckles, allowing you precise control over the thickness of your cuts. I feel that it beats a chef's knife in this regard since your knuckles never reach the top of the blade. It also excels at chopping romaine lettuce cut across the head in strips. The large blade keeps the ribbons of cut lettuce where they belong rather than flopping back to the uncut side. And as a bonus, when slicing items like cucumbers, all of the cut cukes will often stick to the blade so that when you finish you just wipe them from the blade into the appropriate bowl in one swoop, saving you from lifting them off the cutting board (and cukes do like to stick to the cutting board). At this point I use this knife almost every night to prep our veggies. I still love my Western chef's knives, but this cleaver is in heavy rotation and is usually what I reach for when slicing vegetables. If you are used to the lighter, more traditional Chinese style cleavers that you see in Asian grocery stores this knife might feel strange to you. But if you take the time to bond with it, this knife might just become one of your favorites.. Just Call Me B. Pittsburgh. Thu Apr 08 2021

Best knife I ever owned! Wished I had this years ago. I’ve learned to take very good care of it, never put it in the dishwasher and store it in it’s own special spot (away from the other knifes). It’s razor sharp - watch your fingers. Let all your family members know to handle with care! It’s thin and can be easily bent. My husband bent the tip cutting through frozen meat (big-no no). I plan to take it in to a professional. I’ve only had to sharpen it once and I bought it a year and a half ago. In the photo, bottom left is the Shun Classic Chef’s Knife. Was trying to show the thinness.. Glynn. Oklahoma City, OK. Sat Jan 04 2020
