HIROSHI Premium Sushi & Sashimi Chef’s Knives – Set of 4 Knives - Ultra High Carbon Steel Blades

i am very excited for the arrival of this knife as i'm starting collecting knives so i found this hiroshi knives with a very good reviews and i never hesitate to order this knives. i give 2 stars as the knives arrives with scratch it supposed to be shinny thats why im a little bit upset. the box was not in a good condation also.

$15 for high carbon steel 🤯.Just got em but so far, and for the price, they feel solid, good steel to handle connectiin and feel, good Japanese style knives.I wanna thank Christopher for all of the info he posted, he helped me make the decision to buy.They were sharp but not SHARP. through a magnifying glass, I could see tool marks or groves on the beveled edge. They were small enough you could barely see them without a mag glass, and catching the light just right. I'm in the process of getting some stones so I pulled out my Japanese, #800 grit diamond stone that I have for my Timber Framing chisles, and made passes.Christopher mentioned 12° on the sharpened edge, mine seemed to be closer to 14°. I posted a pic of the blade angle made by resting on the handle, right around 12°. As I sharpened at this angle I was catching the transition point and not the blade edge. I lifted the knife a couple degrees and started catching the edge.#800 is rough I know but right now its what I got and after 50 passes (or so) on each side, it is much sharper then how they came. Again #800 is rough I know, but I was planning on a couple hundred passes both sides based on what I thought the hardness was...hoping its the rough stone and not soft steel. Also hoping as I get the right stones down to #8000 grit, it'll keep an edge.My daughter just returned home from Japan and even with a good exchange rate I could only have her bring me back 5 kitchen knives - she stoked a shop owner somewhere in Tokyo.Obviiusly the Japanese craftsmanship, finish is much MUCH better on the Japanese knives BUT is it 10X better???I don't mind paying more for the history, experience, craftsmanship of what I consider the best knife makers in the world - Tha Japanese - but I like the ides of having what would call a "rough" set of knives I can pull if I have company and they mistakenly dishwasher wash it.Like I said, I just gottem, but these look like fantastic knives for their/my purpose and I don't mind putting a little sharp on em, makes them feel their more mine, invested.I got them 2-8-24, I'll be using them a lot so I'll try and remember to post a follow up in a year or so.Thanks Christopher, Thanks All

حلوة لكنها تخرج من مكانها بسبب ان الخشب ينتفخ بعد كثرة الاستخدام والغسيل

Me llegaron antes de lo esperado, exelentes productos, buena calidad, bien espesor de la hoja , los mangos de madera se ven y se sienten bien al cortar

I find the handles are a little rough, other than that they are good.

No quede satisfecho ya que vienen muy brillantes en su metal, la mader no es del color que la pedi no es lo que anuncian.
