Pros & Cons
Pros
I read a critical review that said it wasn't worth the money, but i could not disagree more. Top notch chef's knife. Us with a coupon code.
Super sharp out of the box and scary sharp after a few passes across my strop. The weight and sharpness is impressive and makes prep easy. This is for those who know what they're doing with a professional knife and know how to store, sharpen it.
Every detail of this knife is perfection. Especially i am a big fan of the vegetable knife.

Highlights
Quality
The quality is 5 stars, you will not be disappointed!
The quality, craftsmanship and rock solid construction is tough to beat at any price!
Not sure why i waited until 40 to invest in quality knives?
Was impressed enough with the 3 knife set that i went back and ordered this chef knife.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging was a plus as well.
The packaging was very nice as well as it came packaged in a wooden box i can re-use for other applications.
I actually just ordered the kamikoto kanpeki knife set to complete my set!
Also, when i held the kamikoto knives for the first time, i was thinking that they weigh in my hand really well.
Competitiveness
I love it and i would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high-end stainless steel super knife!
I have used wusthof exclusively for 30 years and i love them.
With kamikoto knives only right side got sharpened.
I am aware of other knives, shun, mac and other japanese knife brands, and i did my research before i purchased my kamikoto knives.
I do love this knife but it's not for the casual chef.

Was skeptical about the questionable marketing but this is my second purchase to round out my set. Just as impressive as the fi... Read More
Just got this today... the knife is every bit as good as the three blade set and is destined to be my go to knife for most cooking tasks.

Use the kamikoto sharpening stone.

I want to put this out there, everyone talks about the sharpness out of the box but that's short lived if you don't do your part to properly maintain them.

The edge on any sharp knife is fragile, easy to dent, ding or roll over.

Handwash only for this reason.

I use a cork knife organizer from sur la table that prevents contact with other knives during storage.

I don't trust the edge being in contact with wood.

The sharper the edge, the more fragile.
