Product Description
When it comes to precision kitchen tasks, having the proper tool makes all the difference in terms of results, and stress reduction for the cook. If you've decided to tackle sushi-making at home, by all means equip yourself properly. This knife is identical to those used by sushi chefs. In the traditional Japanese manner, the thin blade is sharpened on the right side only. A single edge cuts more cleanly and faster than a double edged knife.

Good Quality for the Price. July 21, 2008
T. J. Vasquez (LA, CA)
Didn't have great expectation since the price range for Sushi knives is pretty wide. For a novice sushi maker like me, this is plenty good. The blade is well-crafted and the bamboo handle is nice. It would have been nice to have a scabbard for it but I just replaced one of the rarely-used knives in my knife block.

I like high quality knives, and I already have a complete set of Henkels, so it was hard for me to justify getting a knife just to cut sushi rolls. But, I wanted to try using a traditional Japanese knife that is ground on only one side as this one is. Note that this one is ground for right-hand use, though I'm fairly certain it will still cut just as well when used left-handed.
It is great for lopping off the little sushi roll ends and turning them into bite-sized snacks without squishing the roll. Fun stuff!
It cannot be run through the dishwasher, but is easy to clean by hand.
The handle is called "ho wood" and it took quite a bit of research to find out what this is. Turns out it is the dried wood of a Japanese Cyprus, and has natural oils in it with antibacterial properties. Makes sense that it is traditionally used with sushi knives given the importance of cleanliness when dealing with uncooked foods.
This is a much better quality knife than the price would suggest. To get better than this will require at least four to five times the money, which for me was not worth it given that it is essentially a single-tasker. You can use it for other things, of course, but mostly it is just to cleanly cut the rolls.
Excellent price, great performance August 26, 2007

This knife is better than even anticipated. It is well worth the money. The cut it creates is very clean and smooth. Would definately recommend! Especially for the price, it is a great knife. I have seen them much more expensive, but this one works just as great. I wish it came in a better case than the piece of cardboard it came in, but it will do.
