JCK Original Kagayaki Basic Series KG-3 Santoku180mm (7 inch)

Laser Performance & Excellent Value!

This knife is fantastic. It is thin and slicey and feels great. If you're new to Japanese knives this is an outstanding way to get started. The first time you cut with a knife like this you'll kick yourself for waiting so long! But even if you're a veteran like myself, this knife still represents a great value and a lot of performance at small price. Yes the spine and choil are a bit sharp but at this price it is absolutely acceptable. A few minutes with some sandpaper will sort it out and the overall fit and finish is very good. While this knife is fully capable of being a smaller main knife if so desired, it really excels at quick tasks and environments where the stainless steel can really be appreciated. I really like it for cooking outdoors. The ES option is great for giving you a good sharpening guide to follow but leaves the edge very thin. I recommend a slight micro-bevel to avoid chipping/rolling. Otherwise just stick with the regular offering.

Lovely knife

It is perfect. I loved every knife in Japanese chef knives. It's perfect

Just superb.

Been using them near daily for about 2 months, the edge holds so well! Just couple of swipes in a ceramic rod and they’re good to go again! Would recommend.
