Seido Knives Tora Tsuki Cleaver Knife – Full-Tang High-Carbon Steel Cleaver for Meat, Bones, and Vegetables – Premium Rosewood Handle with Leather Sheath

High grade Damascus Steel with beautiful designs, sharp as a scalpel!

I have very mixed feelings about this knife. While the brass and rosewood handle are exquisite I’m not so sure about the knife itself. As the box states, inspired by Japan but made in China.My knife came with a couple hardly noticeable scratches in the knife. Only noticeable to someone who is really looking after spending $200 on a knife. Also there is a divot in the craftsmanship of the steel. It’s very small but you can feel it. The knife is beautiful but would be even more beautiful if it didn’t have the flaws. I think if there was a flaw in the handle I would return it. I feel really let down for the price. Also it needs sharpened badly.

I like grilling and outdoor cooking and wanted to treat myself to a good knife. I did a bit of searching before settling on this one. Let me tell you I never thought I would use the words beautiful to describe a knife and was a little worried about ordering online but this is wonderful crafted and supper sharp! A great knife. Also comes with a nice sleeve to keep it in. Amazingly lightweight for its size. The blade is 10 1/2 inches, overall just under 17 inches but yet feels good in your hands with the grip and the way the hilt is crafted.
