Mercer Culinary Asian Collection Left Handed Yanagi Sashimi Knife with NSF Handle 12 Inch Yanagi Sashimi Knife M24012PL

Sharp out of the box

First of all let me say that for the price this is an awesome little knife.. cuts veggies and boneless meat no fuss. The Japanese writing also adds to the cool factor. However, this is not a true heavy duty deba, which should be in essence a halfway cleaver. You can't really deal with chicken bone and fish beheading and all that with this knife.

These came razor sharp and they hold an edge well. Mercer knives are very good knives and are very affordable.

Gracias el cuchillo está hermoso funcional buen precio buena calidad recomiendo a este vendedor ampliamente

I bought this Deba style knife for a couple of reasons: I like the shape and width of the style as it provides both a long cutting edge as well as a point for delicate trimming which my nakiri style knife doesn't have. I also really like the amount of space for my knuckles - they don't touch the cutting board or feel squeezed for space.The knife was very sharp when I received it, and is still almost as sharp. The feel is well-balanced and the blade is much thinner (and way lighter) than my Wasabi Deba which was rated a bit higher than this Mercer product. I actually prefer the Mercer, as the Wasabi Deba blade is very heavy. The single bevel is not an issue once you have a bit of practice with it.Overall, this is my favorite knife

Es un buen cuchillo mantiene el filo buen material y agarre comodo

Este cuchillo usuba/nakiri es muy filoso y retiene su filo muy fácilmente; llegó algo tosco de fábrica, pero solamente le di unas pasadas en una barra de cerámica y en una estropa de cuero y quedó muy bien. Desde que lo compré no le he dado mantenimiento al filo, y todavía corta como si no tuviera nada enfrente.
