My first "real knife"Posted By: Michael

I got this knife a couple years ago for a gift from my parents-who are pretty naive when it comes to knives in general. But they heard I wanted to get a nicer knife(knives) because I do a decent amount of cooking and my Chicago brand wasn't cutting it-pun intended.
First off, this was my first carbon knife ever-I was pretty naive with carbon knives but after a couple years I've learned a lot! For the price and quality it's a great knife-although I wish I had started with a gyuto-this knife taught me that: carbon holds an edge longer, I prefer a flatter cutting knife, and that I LOVE the Wa style handle over the Western.

I have always preferred high carbon steel knives for edge retention. Most of my knives were butcher blades from the late 1800's. I started seeing the Serbian chef knives recently, but an independent web review guided me to Chef knives to go for the Daovua leaf spring piranha. The Daovua blades are high carbon steel that hold a razor sharp edge, yet are light and well balanced. Even rutabaga slices easily without effort. So far, it has become my favorite blade for meal preparation.

Nice cleaverPosted By: Brian

Excellent fit and finish for the price point. Nice flat blade came with a good toothy, cutting edge. I was able to touch up to razor sharp with minimal effort. My daughter wanted a tall Asian cleaver, and she is loving this one. You can't go wrong.
