Review: Top notch - Recommended by Emily Schumann Forward: from a friend once monthly free newsletter (I’m not upgraded to paid)-I’m not sure exactly how it works, but her husband researches products and makes recommendations and she mentioned that he loves these knives, which he gets professionally sharpened like once a year. I got the one that was recommended this one and it was originally intended for my husband. But this knife size works for both of us even though I am smaller. The knives we mainly use are MAC, recommended by Chef Eric Ripert. I have a small manual whetstone for sharpening and I sharpen them often. They work great and are so durable. But, I love the sharpness of this one - and it has become a go-to in our kitchen. Fantastic Japanese quality.
Review: Unbelievably sharp with smooth hand grip - I already know about Masamoto is well known top knife maker with long history. And I have Japanese traditional style knife from Masamoto. Now I tried western style knife. It was more than I expected. The original manufacturer knife sharpen setting was so unbelievable.

I already know about Masamoto is well known top knife maker with long history. And I have Japanese traditional style knife from Masamoto. Now I tried western style knife. It was more than I expected. The original manufacturer knife sharpen setting was so unbelievable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seriously sharp
*by G***E on January 31, 2025*

I cook a lot at home and saw a recommendation of this knife in a cooking magazine. It is amazing. The sharp edge bites into most vegetables with just the weight of the blade. It has a convenient balance, and good handle. It does require sharpening about every 2 weeks with a sharpening stone, but that takes less than 5 minutes.
