Feels like I'm cutting into butter even with stuff like carrots. The sound it makes as it cuts through is different from any other knife I've used, and it's actually pretty easy to sharpen considering how hard it is. I bought a red handle santoku as a gift for my mum because these Takamura knives are truly awesome!

I saw this knife and tried it out at the Mutual Trading restaurant show last weekend. I don't need a knife so even though I really liked it I didn't buy it. But it felt so good in my hands and I kept thinking about how it felt like I wasn't even cutting into anything. This is my first high speed powder steel knife and I'm looking forward to seeing how much it really retains its edge. So far so good!

i bought the smaller one and a paring knife. i absolutely love this knife. everyone at work is so jealous! i wrote more on the paring knife review but i just had to express how amazing these knives are because i met the blacksmiths who made these knives and i agree that slicing into carrots feels like slicing butter.

i wanted to get the damascus gyuto but it was too expensive so i got this one instead. but it's still an awesome knife. so sharp- felt so smooth going into anything i cut. just a beautiful knife overall. it was greta to meet the blacksmith from takamura! i got my name in japanese engraved and i'm incredibly happy with this purchase. this was the best booth at starcehfs icc!

WHAT AN AMAZING KNIFE! I actually bought this knife at Star Chefs this year but I had to come back and check out this site. I met the guy who made this knife too and he engraved my name in the gyuto I bought. They let me try the knife there and it seriously felt like I was slicing butter when I cut into a carrot. It's unlike any knife I've used. I bought the 21cm gyuto but I will definitely save up to get the damascus sujihiki. I'm so stoked about using this knife!
