5 This Knife Is Amazing!!, June 16, 2019

Posted By: Tom Dickinson

I had wanted this knife for a while and I finally was able to purchase it. The first thing I did though was sharpen it incorrectly and sent it to CKTG to have the chips fixed and have it sharpened. As soon as I got it back, I haven't had to sharpen it at all. Good steel, works great. This knife slices, it chops, and it powers through product. Truly a master knife.

Have had it for a full month, replaced the handle as it is the only bad thing about the knife really low quality. It's still as sharp as the first day tomatoes and peppers feel like butter I love it

Waited for this Kiritsuke to be back in stock and finally bought it. I love it. It needed some sanding on the handle and some stain to get it the way I like it. I thought I would have to sharpen also, but it was very sharp OOB. It really is a joy to use. Makes me look at some other ITK offerings.

Ootb sharp! Can be finished even further for screaming sharp.
Handle fit leaves a little wanting but a little sandpaper and some time no problem .
For under 80$ u can't beat this knife .

Great experience working with Chef Knives to Go. Quick delivery, and they are great about returning emails. I'm actually waiting on my second knife from them. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Very grateful such a dedicated and informative group of people provide excellent steel at competitive prices with superior customer service! A million thank yous!
