    • the handle itself could stand to be slightly more shaped to be truly perfect. Better/sharper and prettier than Shuns
TL:DR version: this is a rebadged Yaxell Zen knife, superbly sharp, edge responds to a ceramic rod well, well-balanced and handles well, well-made, the handle itself could stand to be slightly more shaped to be truly perfect. Better/sharper and prettier than Shuns, blows German knives out of the water, costs less. 4.75 / 5 if I could be that specific. First off, an e-mail to Cutlery and More (the seller of these knives) confirmed that the Enso HD line of knives are manufactured in Japan by Yaxell to be sold under a trademark name belonging to C&M. The other side of the blade (not pictured here) even says Yaxell on it. The hammered + damascus blade style and shapes/sizes available indicates these Enso HD knives are re-handled and re-named Yaxell Zen knives. I've had the knife about a week now and used it plenty. I enjoy great kitchen cutlery but am a price-conscious shopper. Cutting performance: Fantastic. After some head-to-head comparisons on the same food, it is noticeably sharper than my Shun Sora chef's knife. It blows away a Wusthof Classic and Henckels International (that's the cheaper Henckels with the man-with-stick logo, I don't own any of true Henckels with the twins logo) . Can easily do the tomato trick: cut the top off, set the tomato upside down on the board, and the knife can slice the tomato very thin without even having to touch the tomato to hold it in place with your other hand. It also easily shaves arm hair. Edge retention: again a little better than my Shuns so far. I haven't had to really re-sharpen it yet obviously, and a ceramic honing rod works really well at keeping this knife super sharp. I highly recommend ceramic rods/"steels", they work much better than the steel ones. Kyocera offers a ceramic rod at a reasonable price. I wish there was a knife that was this sharp that I didn't have to regularly hone to keep the edge perfect, but to my knowledge no such knife exists - an edge this sharp, if you actually use the knife, will require some maintenance. You should be doing this with all your knives anyway. Handling: the knife is lighter than I thought it might be. The spine is a bit thinner than German knives like Wusthof and Henckels, but the blade doesn't flex or feel flimsy at all. The hammered section is less dramatic/bumpy/ridge-y in person than it looks in the product photos, which I like. The balance point is slightly in front of the very heel, right about where I pinch grip the knife. This assists the blade in cutting. The knife feels comfortable and well-balanced in use, even at the larger 10" size. The handle is also not as fat as I feared -- it's a reasonable handle for which you don't need to have big hands. That said, the profile of the handle is classic rather than asymmetrical or especially ergonomic, and that's really the only realistic room for improvement here -- it's by no means bad, but I've held knives where the handle was a bit more engineered and better for it. Fit and Finish: excellent. handle and rivets and bolster are all flush. Everything is straight and well-ground. There were a few specs of black dust or debris of some sort on the blade that washed off easily out of the box. Also, I want to recommend the 10" size over the more typical 8". The knife is still light and manageable, and more blade means it is easier to cut more stuff more quickly. It's a big sharp piece of equipment that can be intimidating, but I'm definitely a convert after using a 10" knife, and my kitchen is medium-small. I would say only customers in very small kitchens with small cutting boards should favor 8" chef's knives. And maybe those who refuse to pinch-grip a knife by the bolster/balance point and insist on holding the entire handle. ... show more

Review Image by Matt V. Matt V.
Wow, I can just draw on meat with the knife tip! This thing is incredibly sharp and it feels stellar to use, even weight distribution. Looks pristine, feels of the highest quality. I plan on keeping this a long time this is not a knife you want to cut yourself on. Never met a samurai but I’m scared to if their blades are this incredibly sharp! 100/100. Not a single thing I don’t like about it in hand. ... show more

    • Good Knife and awesome seller
Size: 8-inch blade
The knife was good as per most of the reviews but I'm writing this review because I have a problem with the 2 knives I ordered (not the product or the seller's fault) and the seller was quick to address the problem. I'm 110% happy with the service and will buy from this seller again.

It dices, it slices. Very balanced and easy to clean because of the texture on the side of the knife.

    • Good Knife
Size: 8-inch blade
Good knife. However, it has not held its edge after using it for a few weeks but not daily use. Well balanced and the tip is very sharp almost too sharp. A chef's knife is just a tool to help you cut and prep food. It will not make the food taste better only starting with quality ingredients will do that. ... show more

I love this knife. It is extremely sharp just the way I like them. It is not too heavy or thick. I hope it lasts me forever.
