Kojiro Gen 4 Hollow Ground Santoku Knife - AISI-420 Surgical Stainless Steel Sheepsfoot Blade, Full-Tang, Ergonomic Handle - Length 12 1/12”

nothing to complain about and does the job well!

great and is sharp but i touched it up as i like my knives razor sharp

Nearly all of the ones I have bought come reasonably sharp. I always check every knife before I give it. So many people don't have decent kitchen knives especially divorcees and young singles. Pair this with the 3 pack of paring knives and a cutting board and you look good. I have also tested this knife on plants and bushes in my yard with good results.

This Santoku knife is a bargain for the cost. For about four bucks you can't beat it! Yes,it could come sharper,but if you can't sharpen a knife on your own,what can I tell you?!? I bought several and I gave some,sold some,and saved a couple for my own use. Get you some!

Sharp, comfortable and comes with an neat case. Oh yea, and it's on clearance for less than 4 bucks. Get yourself one. If you like it, which I think you will...get a bunch more. Add them to gifts for friends and loved ones. They never have to know it costs you $3.98. I won't tell. That's less than the greeting card that would go with the gift. Personally id much rather have this knife than a greeting card. Just saying.

I have bought five of these and they seem good to me. I checked their sharpness and all five are rather sharp and worked well chopping food. With all of them testing well, I am giving four of them as gifts to some relatives. The only problem that might exist is its overall durability, but if one breaks, it will not be hard to replace lol

I bought 50 or more of these. WHY? To hand out to the LADIES. I've scored so many points I can't haul 'em all in a PU truck. GUYS! I bought those knives for less than 5 bucks apiece. You know you need points, boys. Jump on it! Save your selves from your next screw-up! Wisdom, boys, wisdom.

As a number of reviewers have noted, these knives (I got the twofer deal) do NOT come sharp. I find bread to be a good test of knives with non-serrated blades, so I tried slicing croissants for sandwiches. The knife sliced the thicker sections, but invariably tore the thinner areas. A little work with the sharpener should cure this problem, but how much more would it have cost to deliver it with a usable edge?

My sister bought this knife before and I think it was sharp, however the one I recently ordered came very dull. I was disappointed. i think I'll have to spend a lot of time with this and the sharpening stone. I guess this buy is often a hit and miss...Maybe if I buy another it will be sharp.
