  This review is about type: Chef, dimension: 20 cm

  To clarify, I am not a professional. I simply enjoy cooking. Most of the time, I cut vegetables and fruits, and more rarely meats. A month after acquiring the knife, I can say that I am thrilled.

  What I like:
  It feels comfortable in my hand and cuts with precision, without needing to exert force. Even today, it easily cuts a page of paper. I did the test and couldn't believe my eyes. Our other knives... you understand.

  What I don't like:
  The anxiety it causes me every time that I might cut myself and will be looking for a band-aid. :-D

  I try to keep it in good condition. After each cut, I wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Especially when cutting citrus fruits, tomatoes, etc. I never "scoop" the ingredients I cut with the blade, but with the spine so that I don't "drag" the edge on the cutting board. Once I finish all my cuts, I wash it and carefully dry it and store it in the knife block.

  Conclusion:
  It is worth it if you enjoy cooking and cutting, but it requires caution during cutting and in its maintenance. I have no regrets at all; on the contrary, I would recommend it to anyone who is involved in and enjoys cooking.

  5/5 because I got exactly what I expected. Perhaps even better.

  This review is about the dimension: 23 cm

  The size is quite large... the immediately smaller one would have been more practical... my mistake, the 21 would be more convenient.

  This review is about the dimension: 21 cm

  For meat, the handle doesn't even work (which is completely funny and not sturdy at all) and it also dulls for fun and it's logical that it's a soft knife on the month it needed to be sharpened. It doesn't work in terms of safety or performance for a butcher shop. It can work for a chef who doesn't use it as much and doesn't cut as much quantity. (I tried it because it's sharp but this knife is not suitable for meat, it's for fish.)

  This review is about type: Santoku, dimension: 16.5 cm

  I don't know much about knives, my daughter asked for it to use in the kitchen when she cooks, but the 3-4 times I used it, it was a great experience. It cut very well without force or effort. Be careful not to cut yourself!

  This review is about type: Deba, dimension: 21 cm

  I have 2 Wasabi knives, this one and a Santoku, and the factory sharpening is flawless on both.
  They are single-sided and very sharp.
  Very thick and sturdy, this has its pros and cons depending on the task you have to do.
  I have nothing negative to say, I enjoy using it.
  Of course, single-sided knives tend to lean towards one side.
  If you're cutting on the edge, for example, a cucumber, its cutting is perfect.
  If you want to cut a zucchini exactly in the middle, things get complicated.
  A chef's knife or a Santoku is the most suitable general-purpose knife.
  Its size means that my wife doesn't want to use it and you certainly won't take it out of the drawer just to cut a tomato because washing and wiping are too much for that.
  I do it because that's how I like it.
  Its large surface helps you transfer everything you've cut to a plate with just one movement.
  Its sharpening is exclusively for experts.
  It is a knife for filleting fish and breaking the fish's spine, and in Greece, we don't fillet fish, we cook them whole.
  So it's a purchase for knife enthusiasts and not guided by logic.
  I bought more than I expected with this knife but...
  ...I didn't need it, probably neither do you.
  Since most of us are kitchen amateurs, logic doesn't fit and this is a bit of a fetish, I dare to say, an experience.
  The price is a steal.
  In conclusion:
  If you're looking for the one and only knife for Greek cuisine, look for something else.
  If you're a knife enthusiast, go for it and you will enjoy it.

  Without having much experience with knives, I have been very satisfied when it is sharpened. It often needs sharpening to cut through "air"

  It is sturdy. I think I am cutting slightly to the left. For the money it is sold, it is okay.

  This review is about type: Santoku, dimension: 16.5 cm

  Very good for its price, but not something that would interest me as a knife collector, it's just a tool, I would say mass-produced, and I gave it to my wife, I just sharpen it for her.
  The edge is very good from the factory, I don't like that the knife is thin.
  If you want a chef's knife for your kitchen, stay away from the very cheap ones you would buy at the supermarket and at least get this one, it will save your hands, it won't empty your wallet, if you take care of it a little, it will last a lifetime.

  This review is about type: Santoku, dimension: 16.5 cm

  The knife is excellent at this price and worthy of the KAI name.
  Well sharpened out of the box, but with a metal hardness that I would consider low in a professional kitchen, resulting in the need for more frequent sharpening. However, it is much easier to sharpen (even with a leather strop, it holds a regular sharpening)

  This review is about type: Chef, dimension: 20 cm

  The knife is good. Very lightweight, which personally I liked, but it is very thin, something you should keep in mind. It definitely isn't as heavy as the Wustoff. If you want to buy this knife, you should consider that you will also be working with other knives alongside it (for breaking small bones...). *The HRC is not 58, it is 56+-1, the same as all the knives in the WASABI series by KAI
