I've been slicing briskets with this knife daily for 2 months now. It takes and holds an edge extremely well for the price point. Although, it seems the heat treatment of the blade is a bit inconsistent, as some parts of the cutting edge dull much faster than others. Also, there are two 1/4 inch hairline cracks in the cutting edge that are only obvious very close up. That said, when you get a tool at this price you know what to expect. I own another DaoVua knife and the quality of it is quite a bit better, but this one still works very well even with the tiny cracks, and gets extremely sharp with a slurry stone. Any high output handmade tool maker is gonna have some inconsistencies in quality from piece to piece. Still worth it, as I'm sure it'll keep slicing for quite a while.
Got to use this knife for the first time slicing a brisket I made for the 4th of July, and it did not disappoint at all! Also, after dinner, my wife used it for slicing a watermelon and she could not believe how easy it was to cut (She doesn't use my good knives because she is afraid of them). So, not only am I a happy customer, but now this knife has changed my wife's mind about using good sharp knives.
Dao Vua V3 52100 Carbon Steel 270mm Sujihiki/Sakimaru Slicer - Handmade High Performance Knife
Knife takes an edge with no time at all, I work in a Japanese restaurant and will cut for hours straight. Holds the edge very well also! Great for getting some nice steaks !
Good knife at an affordable price to get started in the world of hand-forged knives.
The blade is good but not quite true - there is a subtle twist in the spine at the mid-section. It does take a very good edge, though, and precision is high enough for a competent amateur. The wa handle is exceptional - perhaps even better than the one on my Kurosaki. Not bad considering this was 6 times cheaper! I really enjoy slicing both raw and cooked proteins with this knife. I'm satisfied with it, and especially glad that I didn't blow hundreds more on a far more expensive Japanese piece.
I work at a restaurant in Seattle making pasta and I am using this knife for cutting tajerin and it is great so far. It is keeping a nice edge and I appreciate it very much.
