New ZealandNice knife
I am very fond of these knives. I have also bought them as gifts for friends and family. Their only "fault" is they can chip if you try to cut bone. The instructions are clear ... don't. Apart from that, they keep a superb edge for months at a time and are very easy to handle.

New ZealandI bought 2 more for the kids
I am so impressed with the feel of these knives I bought one for each of my boys. Both boys are 30+, good armature chefs who appreciate a good knife I have a good collection of fine knives that i keep in top condition but when I want to cleanly slice vegetables and meat I now find myself reaching for the Bocho Santoku, it just seems to work better.

New ZealandReally good knife
I really like the feel of the knife for doing vegetables or dicing meats like chicken breast. The blade design allows me to cut straight, deep and clean. It remains nicely sharp for many weeks at a time, unlike my western knives. It is not for carving or anything that requires twisting or following contours and the edge can get a bit bent if you push hard on bones (my bad). I use it a number of times a day and would highly recommend having one in the knife block.

New ZealandFascinatingly good, highly recommended.
I've had the knife for about 6 months now. I use it a number of times a day and really like it. I enjoy cooking and have a collection of fine German knives, some of which I have had for nearly 40 years. This knife was a bit of an impromptu shift into something different. It feels different and behaves differently. It is beautifully sharp, keeps its edge really well and has a curiously straight way of cutting. A really nice knife for slicing and dicing of both meat and vegetables where you want fast, deep, straight, clean cuts. I bought my brother one for Christmas and he likes it the way I do.
