My ex son in law loved this knife. He loves to cook. And he was really happy with this beautiful knife. When I went to visit them. He brought it out and showed me how it had not rusted like his other knives. Easy to use. Good weight. The color, balance such a great quality.

Beautiful knife and high quality. Feels good in the hands and extremely sharp. Highly recommended.

This was my first knife, and some people my snub the idea of getting a great knife off of Amazon for an affordable price, but this knife has truly been a great investment. Treat your knife right, and it will last you a long time.

Dislike: Insinuating knife is Japanese made with VG-10 core steel, but had a "Made in China" sticker on the box. Layered steel pattern is very pretty, but I can't tell if it's true or simply etched. Handle is beautiful, and the balance is excellent. Steel quality appears great, no blemishes or manufacturing errors. Beautiful and affordable blade. Came very sharp out of the box. Time will tell how the edge holds up, but so far so good.

A great paring knife which is ship needs thank you

Quick ship, excellent packaging. Knife was top notch! Beautifully designed and extremely sharp! Nice to add to the collection.

Ordered it 2 times, both had the same end cap issue. One handle had split. Blade was heavy compared to handle and felt off balance. Sharp out of the box, but did not cut anything as it was Returned prior to cutting.Tuo Osprey - very large pairing knife. Felt awkward in the hand. Probably a personal preference, but was not for me. Sharp out of the box. Did not cut anything as it was Returned prior to cutting.Tuo Falcon - decent weight. Looked good. But the pins/ rivets in the handle were not flush with the wood. The edge of the rivet was sharp and made it uncomfortable / difficult to use. Sharp out of the box. Did not cut anything as it was Returned prior to cutting.Imarku - handle felt good, slightly heavier than the shun 85g compared to 62g. Blade length good, handle length is good. Sharp out of the box. Cut as easily as the shun. Time will tell how often this needs to be Sharpened. Kept.Fukep - looks great. All of my other knives have wood handles so the polymer is fun. Most comparable to the shun from a handle design. Good handle feel. Good weight 72g compared to 62g. Sharp out of the box, but had massive resistance during cutting. Almost felt like the blade had a scandi or convex grind. Aka, like trying to cut an apple in half with an axe. Returned.Overall. The Imarku blade was the best from a price/ performance standpoint.
