Rockingham Forge 67 Layer Micarta Damascus Stainless Steel 7” Santoku Knife with Riveted Black Micarta Handles RF-9747

Upon unboxing the knife is quite beautiful, and has a really nice and comfortable handle.I've now had the knife for a few months and have been quite unimpressed by it if I'm honest, and dont really use it any more. for a paring knife the blade is much too thick - it's thicker than my santoku's and chef knife - this, for me, makes the knife difficult to use as intended. I also noticed after a few weeks that the rear bolster is also coming loose. All in all, not one of my best purchases.

Excellent quality, super sharp and good to grip. I was looking to add to my John Lewis Japanese steel utility knives but they appear to have discontinued the "own brand" line. I'm almost certain that these are from the same manufacturer as the "wood grain" appearance of the steel and the type, shape and finishing of the handle seem identical. Great value to!

The edge does not keep for very long, it’s very pretty though

Beautifully crafted, high quality item. Cuts with ease. Highly recommended and a great addition to my current set of knives. I've not encountered better quality at such a competitive price.

Really nice blade. Great for fruit and veg, incredible sharp. And more importantly it holds its edge, i havent sharpend since buying months ago.

This knife looks and feels very well made but i have spent more time sharpening this tool than i have cooking with it the steel cannot hold a good edge and dulls verry quickly,This knife is junk a show pice in an unused kitchen only do not waste money on this needs less than 1 star

Feels more exensive than it is. Great quality very sharp & well balanced.

I worked with it 1 week and it become flat, I took it to a shop to sharp it up again and still not working properly, no even good for use at home
