## Before you buy

- The listing gives both AUS-10 Damascus Steel and Alloy Steel as blade material descriptions, and lists 22 Centimeters, 9 inches and 36.8 Centimeters for blade length, size and overall length respectively. Confirm the exact blade and size details in the selected listing before purchase. The wood handle is described as shadowwood pomegranate in the feature text, while the general material field says Wood. The package highlights mention a wooden box, but the explicit included-components list does not, so box inclusion is unconfirmed.

## In the box

- User manual ×1 (Included)
- Knife cleaning cloth \(1\) (Included)
- Knife oil \(1\) (Included)
- Professional chef knife \(1\) (Included)
- Tool maintenance instructions \(1\) (Included)
- Wooden box (Check selected pack): Mentioned in package highlights but omitted from the explicit contents list. Check the selected listing.

## A good fit for

- Home cooks seeking a long, plain-edge knife for varied slicing and chopping tasks.
- Buyers comfortable with hand washing, careful drying and maintaining a high-hardness knife.

## Less suited to

- Anyone needing a dishwasher-safe knife or a blade intended for bones and hard foods.
- Buyers who need the wooden box confirmed as part of the package.

## Customer feedback

The available aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the highest star category, but a smaller low-star share means experiences are not uniformly positive. Ratings alone do not explain why customers responded as they did, so they cannot establish cutting performance, durability or the cause of dissatisfaction. Buyers should weigh them alongside the listed care requirements and limits on hard foods.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can this knife go in the dishwasher?
No. The listing says it is not dishwasher safe and recommends washing with water, drying it thoroughly and storing it in a dry, ventilated place.
### What foods is the knife intended to handle?
The listing describes use for fruit, fish, meat, sushi and vegetables. It advises not to cut bones or hard foods.
### Is a wooden box included?
The highlights mention a wooden box, but it is absent from the explicit included-components list. Treat its inclusion as unconfirmed and check the selected listing.
