  • Really Great Knives
So, I've been waiting to write a review until my knives needed sharpening and I saw how they take to a stone. It's been about 6 months and they are totally solid on all fronts. Good looking, comfortable, good steel. First I ordered the 7" although I had just bought a full sized chef knife from Misen I wanted to get into Japanese steel and these met my price point. Watched the vids of the factory tour from the seller and realized these were the real deal at a bargain price. So I received the 7" in the mail and no more than cut an onion with it and I was on the web looking up the seller's website and ordering the 5.5" utility. These are viscerally great knives. They are beautiful, well balanced, and very comfortable to hold. I wear xl gloves and love the feel of the 7" but also wanted something for smaller work and because I have smaller hands in my kitchen. The 5.5" makes a great utility knife and my kids feel confident and in control of it. I can still use it comfortably and tbf it is my go to over the 7". So...It's been about 6 months of daily driver use on veggies and boneless meats and I notice they need a little touching up. I ran them over a stone 10-20 times and they came back to close to factory sharp really nicely. I'm sure I can work on them and get them "scary sharp" but the point here is the steel will take and hold a good edge easily once you've dulled it through normal use. And that edge will last a while. Enso knives are top notch. They maybe don't have the wow factor of a knife at 2x the price point but they are good steal put together by real artisans who know their craft. Solid fit and finish, great edge retention, and comfortably works through all manner of cutting and chopping. Probably avoid cuts of meat with bones in. Probably won't buy any more knives for at least 5 years, but will look in this direction when it's time. ... show more

  • Worth Every Penny.
The blade is a work of art. Stronger than my Shun, and feels great in my hand. Cuts effortlessly and holds an edge well.

  • Enso knives are wonderful
I wanted to start purchasing high quality knives pots pans and other kitchen tools since I found joy in cooking. I did hours of research on knives alone and I came across a Yaxell knives factory tour on a youtube channel called Burfection. I had watched other vids on this channel but this one made me try Yaxell/Enso because of the blend of perfection and passion I saw from the people making the knives. I looked at most of the big names in knives at this price range and it came down to Shun and Enso. I'm still going to buy a Shun to compare this Enso bunka to, so I can be totaly sure but I think the Enso looks better and the handle on the Shun looks very uncomfortable for long use. Now when the knife arrived in the nice packaging I couldn't wait to use it. It was so fantastic looking, and the fit and finish was the best I'd seen on knives since I'm use to a cheap starter faberware set. It was laser sharp out of the box too, I got a small watermelon out and cut it in half and it was as if I was using a light saber, it took no pressure at all. The knife is so light and it fits in my hand so well that I chopped two full freezer bags full of veggies for seasoning before I took a break that I didn't need. this thing just blends into my hand so it's so manuverable, and the 7" length is perfect for any prep work. And Look how wow they look! this knife classes up my kitchen all by itself hanging on my magnetic wood block, I can only imagine how it's gonna look with the full set hanging there. I plan now to buy the full Enso HD line If I don't absolutely love the Shun cause I think I already love the Enso. ... show more

  • Love it!
I love the sharpness of this knife. The size is perfect. It cuts so soft. It is thin not too heavy. this is my first time getting one of this and I don't know if or how long it will hold the sharpness but for now I am really happy. I definitely would recommend it.

  • So far so good
Bought this knife along with a handful of other Enso hammered Damascus to make a complete knife set to replace my old German steel knives. Fit and finish of all the knives are excellent. Handle design is simple but extremely comfortable and a pleasure to use. All the knives are above par for out of the box sharpness. Overall extremely happy with the purchase (7” bunks, 8” chef, 10” chef, 4” paring, 6” utility, & 5” utility). Time will tell on blade retention and durability. And there were a few disappointments: the 4” seemed almost a little handle heavy like it has no blade at all- just handle. Also couldn’t find an Enso knife block for nothing- actually had to go with a different brand, and finally the lack of sets was also a little disappointing. But in 6 months or so if the knives are holding up well and are as enjoyable to use as they are now while new, those minor things will most likely be long forgotten. ... show more
