KESSAKU Sharpening Honing Rod - 10 inch - Dynasty Series - High Carbon Stainless Steel - G10 Garolite Handle

I been using Cleaver forever! We used to own several restaurants and I used Many Chinese cleavers. So I would consider my self an expert at using this particular style of chef knife. They don't need to be Damascus or shun expensive looking blades or Mercer $300 or whatever you think is better. They just need to be functional and get the job done for the average home cooker. Most Chinese chef don't really care the quality of their chef cleaver knives and that all we use, we don't use any other style of knives. So blade quality really does not matter except it gets the job done and we can re sharpen them for the next task. Usually we don't use stainless steel cause they used to suck and won't hold an edge longer than the high carbon steel cleavers. The high carbon steel cleavers will rust but the food or vegetable will make it a patina in less than 1 week or 1 month of continuous use. But for the average joe this is too much work to make it not rust. So to get a stainless steel is probably the way to go now and quality has improved quite a lot over the years. So the quality of this cleaver is excellent regardless of price! If you want more from any cleaver it's just cosmetics not the function. You cannot buy more function than what it is designed to do. The handle is kind of slippery when wet but it's ok not a big deal. It's better that way so no food or animal blood can stick to it. The size is a tad bigger than the vegetable cleavers or Japanese cleavers which is what I want. I don't think it can cut through large bones because the blade is sharpened very thin but it can handle everything else I'm sure. If you want to cut through bones then get the bone cleaver this is not it. The rockwell hardness of this blade is pretty hard they advertise 58+ the + is questionable so I'll say it's probably 56 to 58? Cleavers are designed where they don't have a lot of give or flex it's not a katana sword where the spine is allowed to flex to avoid breakage or like a Mechet. These cleavers can't do that. So you can spend few hundred dollars and buy a custom cleaver and forged with the tradition japanese sword forging style or whatever it's gonna be you'll end up with the same result. it will chip if it's a thin blade and it will cut bones if it's thick. This cleaver fall right in between. Any cleaver will chip if it's not specifically advertised for chopping through bones I don't care how expensive or custom your knife is, it will chip. This cleave works really well is all I have to say. Some cleavers are sharpened 1 sided and the other side flat this cleaver I checked it's sharpened on both sides which doesn't matter much to me I don't think it makes any differences. So the reason I picked this one is simply rockwell 58 and paid a little more than the $30 cleavers for the G10 handle cannot rot like wood handles plus it looks ergo and it's the 21st century people we need to use high tech material save the trees.

I purchased this as a lower cost alternative to a VG10 blade that was just too expensive to justify. I kept this in the box, and did not use it until I had about 6 bacons to slice up. I was really pleased at the ease of use of this slicer. It gave me excellent, thin to thick bacon slices, and was sharp enough out of the box to do the job no problem. When finished, I simply stropped the blade, and returned it to it's original box. Very good product for medium to light slicing tasks. The blade was sharp, and did not dull with my amount of use. Stropped easily back to original sharpness. Nice balance and easy to hold and use. I am very satisfied for the price. I have had no issues with rust, and the blade came scratch free. Handle is comfortable. I have no complaints and it exceeded my expectations, so it gets 5 stars based on the value price and overall quality. I can recommend this product 100%.

I really like this knife. It has a good weight to it: hefty without being too heavy. The serrations are nice and deep, and very sharp, unlike other bread knives I've had, whose serrations are shallow scallops. It comes with a sheath to protect the blade when not in use. It also comes with a really nice presentation box, but it takes up too much space in my little kitchen, so I ditched it; the sheath is plenty of protection. The most important thing is that it works beautifully! I've been making a lot of sourdough bread during the pandemic, and it has a really sturdy crust. My other bread knives really had to work at cutting it, to the point that in cutting through the bottom crust of my bread, I'm pressing so hard on the knife that it's been gouging the heck out of my cutting board. The Kessaku bread knife, on the other hand, takes only a few easy strokes to slice all the way through my sourdough bread. The tough crusts barely slows it down. This means that I'm able to cut thinner, more reasonably sized slices of bread instead of thick slabs. I will definitely consider this company as I replace my other knives. Excellent quality at a great price. That's a combo that's hard to beat.

I purchased this carving fork to go with a set of Wusthof knives. I've been slowly collecting Wusthof but needed a carving fork. The $150+ price for a Wusthof fork seemed absurd and while looking for alternatives I found this. The produce arrived extremely well packaged in a nice box which was a bonus since I was giving it as part of a Xmas gift (paired with a Wusthof Knife). The packaging was actually much nicer than the Wusthof and made it look like the more expensive gift. Aside from packaging the fork is very well made, sturdy, heavy, sharp, durable and handles nicely. It also matches the style and quality of our Wusthof Classic collection. I will start buying their knives as well and see how they compare with the much more expensive named brand.

When Dalstrong quit making their Shogun Series sandwich knife, I had to find an alternative. It needed to be less than 11.5 inches long, come with a scabbard, and share the same aesthetics as my other Shogun Series knives. Despite being half the price of the Dalstrong, this knife seemed like it would work. It did not. The construction is not nearly as impressive. And the scabbard is a generic part that adds one and a half inches to the length of the knife. The knife is 11 inches. In the scabbard, it is 12.5 inches. And you're lucky to get the knife in the scabbard. It's not easy. If you don't need a scabbard, this is a decent knife that, while not as impressive as a Dalstrong knife, should hold up well. It's got some weight to it so it feels substantial in the hand. If you start with lower expectations than I did, you'll probably be happy with it. Sandwich knives like this one are pretty useful. That said, mine is going back.
