Almar Gyuto September 4, 2007
Joseph R. Lee (Johnson City, TN, USA)
I purchased this knife after considering other knives. I initially considered a ceramic knife, like a kyocera, but I was reluctant because they need to be sent back to Kyocera to be sharpened. In addition, damascus knives are lovely but easily rust. The Almar Gyuto is a Damascus folded stainless knife with a super hard core and blade edge. I've only ever used much cheaper knives and blades before, many from Asia. Although they've worked well, many require constant sharpening. This knife is pricey for the non-professional chef but worth every penny. I've had it several months now and it hasn't dulled a bit. I've cut meat, ribs, vegetables -- you name it and it handles everything well. It's perfectly balanced for me and remarkably light. It's been a real pleasure using this knife and I highly recommend it.

amazing knife. Its like using an 8" razor blade. The handle is contoured well, and is hollow, so the knife overall is extremely light. I also own a wusthof grand prix chef's knife, a zwilling henckels 5-star 7" santoku knife, and a Shun 6" santoku. The almar is better than all of them.
