Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bunmei 1802/180 - 7 inch Usuba Knife
Customer Review: Should be priced at $15
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a professional chef, and just picked up this knife. When i opened the box, i noticed there was almost no edge on it. I think the back of the knife was actually sharper. I do all my own sharpening but after a few swipes on the stones, i noticed the blade is not only bent, it has a "wave" to the edge. Making it impossible to sharpen. it's a useless knife without having it reforged. if you want good japanese steel, stick with shun, i've never had any problems out of them. the only thing good going for this knife, is it's actually a very nice mix of steel with just the right about of carbon so that it isn't too hard or too soft. To bad the manufacturing of it is horrible.
