SIMPLY LET KUMA KNIFE BLADES DO THE WORK FOR YOU
While many chef knives appear to be strong and durable, their thin, inferior blades bend and break easily under pressure. Our 8-inch KUMA Knife is made of 67 layers of premium Japanese Damascus Steel for extraordinary strength and longevity. Our sturdy kitchen knife is ultra strong and chip-resistant for solid, lasting resilience. Built with premium Japanese imported steel in historical YangJiang, China by our expert bladesmiths.
DON’T BE FOOLED BY LOW-GRADE CHEF’S KNIVES
Our corrosion resistant Japanese steel knives are put through a series of 8 engineering processes and are hand-finished with our V-Shape sharpening technology, for lasting sharpness right out of the box. This means you can cut through vegetables and meat and like it was butter!
BEWARE KITCHEN KNIVES WITH CHEAP, UNCOMFORTABLE HANDLES
Our Damascus cooking knife features an ergonomically designed, ultra comfortable, lightweight, high quality handle. With an exquisite design and minimal bolster for smooth and thorough cutting using both regular or pinch grip, this full tang knife has a hand-polished soft spine for a balanced, comfortable grip even while applying firm pressure.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the kitchen knife. They mention that it comes razor sharp and holds an edge like crazy. The knife is small for their hands but is a good cutting knife. The blade geometry is such that cutting is intuitive and leaves no partially-cut food. It really sliced everything up like butter and makes short work of slicing and dicing of both meats and veggies.

Before the knife came in I received an email from the company who makes the knife. They thanked me for the purchase and gave me a free ebook with some recipes in it. It was a very kind gesture and they ask for me to respond if the pdf went through (they had trouble before apparently). I responded and thanked them for the book, and much to my surprise they responded back to me, and they thanked me for having them be my first knife purchase and if anything happened to contact them. This was a great feeling, not only is the product great but the people behind it also do their best in customer service as well.
The knife came in on time with what amazon said, and I couldn't wait to bring it out of the box. After gushing over the beautiful damascus pattern I decided to put it to use. To spare the details, this knife is amazing, easily the best i ever used. I highly recommend this knife to anyone if they ask me.
Also sorry for the long review but I feel like i had to say both the knife and the company are great, and this is my first review so I don't what I have to say.
second i use my knives very heavily every day being a chef.
I never had a japanese knife before as i said i use victorinox and a korean knife from goldsun a cheapie santoku
I took a chance on this because of the price i realise it is double the price of a victorinox but i got a vg1-0 damascus steel for that price which is a good deal in my view.
on first look i thought it is slightly heavier than a victorinox 8 inch and slightly thicker also it is sharp right out the box but i am extremely anal about my knife and used a 10000 grit stone and stropped the knife to me it feels way better. I am impressed at this stage the knife feels easy to handle for long periods of time i love that there is no bolster i profoundly hate that in a knife. This knife is used mainly for veg prep, fish and meat cutting. I will update this review in 6 months time to find out if it stacks up for long term usage, and if it keeps it edge and for how long.
What I would like to see in the future from kuma knife is a paring knife 3.5 inch vg10 or aus-10 . if the quality is the same that could be a winner.
While it isn't as great as a Shun it is incredible for the price.
