Houcho.com Suisin Inox Western-Style Knife Series, Genuine Sakai-Manufactured, Inox Steel 7.1” (180mm) Santoku/Gyuto Knife

Been getting into cheaper Japanese knives so I would be more willing to use them in the line during service. This is a great size knife for small work spaces and the heat treatment at 58-59 hrc will make it less brittle than other knives I own. Fit and finish was great and the blade is perfectly straight, very impressed for the low price of the knife.

I am embarrassed to say I didn’t realize how much I needed a sharp knife until getting this amazing one. My previous knives were ok but now that I have used the suisin I realize a knife should mak cutting easy. The suisin is easy to use, takes a little getting used to the cutting motion to optimize performance but that is more a user error on my part (I’d be lying if I said I haven’t shed a bit of blood when first using).

Fantastic qualityWorth the investment

Buena calidad.

Its a gyuto knife, not a santoku as described and hoped. But this is one nice piece of tool to any kitchen , sharp outta box and easy to sharpen, lightweight and well balanced.
