Damascus Kitchen Knife Set 3 PCS: NSF Food-Safe Japanese Knives with VG10 Steel Core, Ultra-Sharp Professional Chef Knife Set and Full Tang G10 Handle, Elegant Box

This 8" knife is absolutely Amazing! The Packaging was ripped so bad that the knife almost fell out of the bag it was shipped in. Not Amazon's fault or the fault of the company, but because of the carelessness of the usps. I opened the knife's box to make sure everything was ok. I am just amazed at how Beautiful this knife is and how much weight it has to it. It comes with it's own box to store it in, and also a really nice hard plastic cover! This is a beast of a knife. And extremely sharp!!! Not a knife for small children to handle or people that have shaky hands. I bought this for my 80 year old Aunt. She has very steady hands, otherwise, I wouldn't have bought this for her. It's such an Amazing knife that I'm going to have to get one for myself now. :)

I purchased these kitchen knives in 2023, and I have to say—they’ve truly stood the test of time! Even my brother, who’s a sous chef, commented on how great they are for home use. They've remained sharp and rust-free with minimal maintenance, which is impressive. They slice cleanly and effortlessly through a variety of foods, making meal prep quick and easy. Definitely a worthwhile addition to any kitchen!

Handsome knives and very sharp! Hefty enough to comfortably work with.

These knives were a gift and the nicest I've ever used. Had to get used to them after using dull knives all my life. They slice with no problem and can make the thinnest slices ever. The knives themselves look beautiful.

UPDATE: The vendor has replied to my concerns and provided additional information. I have added a translated version of the lab certification they sent me which shows that the steel tested was Damascus steel (sixth picture).Here is their written reply (I am still considering an independent lab if I can find one near me):1. In reality, the number of patterns in Damascus steel is not strictly determined by the number of layers. While it is traditional to use multiple layers of stacked steel in the production of Damascus steel, the final pattern effect is influenced by various factors during the manufacturing process. These factors include the combination of steel used, the forging and folding techniques employed, and the acid etching process, among others. Therefore, even with the same number of layers, different manufacturing methods can result in different pattern effects.2. The consistent pattern you observed on the ASETY knives, as well as the differences compared to your Miyabi knives, could be attributed to variations in the manufacturing techniques and steel compositions. Additionally, the deeper pitting on the ASETY knives compared to the Miyabi knives is another distinguishing factor.3. Regarding the composition of the knives, We can guarantee that ASETY's Damascus knives are made of real Damascus steel. Attached are the supporting documents for Damascus Steel. However, if you have any concerns regarding the authenticity of the knives, we suggest reaching out to an independent lab for testing. Don't worry, if it's damaged, we can send you another set of new Damascus knivesORIGINAL REVIEW:Currently own two Miyabi Damascus steel knives and bought these caused they had decent reviews and seemed to be a good value.Just received them and as another reviewer stated I do not believe these are true Damascus steel. I have included several pictures to show why. The image with five knives has the new set and my two Miyabi knives. The second image is my the Miyabi chef knife ( no logo on Miyabi knife) along with the ASETY chef knife. The third picture contain my Miyabi paring knife and the ASETY 5.5 inch knife and the ASETY 7 inch Santoku knife. The fourth picture with the extremely hard shadow edge shows the pitting on the new ASETY 8 inch chef knife. The fifth picture shows the Damascus pattern on my Miyabi chef knife.The problem I have with the new ASETY knives is the very uniform steel pattern between the three knives. The lack of randomness that my Miyabi knives has is also missing. Additionally the pitting on the ASETY knives is very deep compared to Miyabi knives. If you look at the start of the pattern between the Miyabi knives and the ASETY knives the ASETY knives have just a straight line towards the knife edge. I am not an expert on making Damascus steel but if there were 67 layers on the ASETY knives I would expect to see 67 gradations on the knife surfaces. I was able to count between 14-16 very uniform gradations.As for the weight, balance and feel the ASETY knives fit the hand well and appear to be well balanced.At this point I am keeping them and will try them out. I will also update the review if I figure anything more out about the composition of the knives.While I cannot afford to have these knives tested/destroyed while testing, I would love for an independent lab to test if the knives are true Damascus knives.

These are well balanced and arrived razor sharp.

Excellent value, they hold their edges for a long time. High quality product that I absolutely love. The weight is very nicely balanced and easy to use in multiple scenarios. The three knife selection provides flexibility in doing different types of cuts.

I am so glad I purchased this set. These are by far the best knives I have ever owned, Starting off with they are real damascus, not laser etched. There is real weight in them and you know they are quality once you pick them up. The edges are very sharp!!! Be careful. These are a must have in your kitchen. I had no idea good knives made such a difference.
