A joy to hold and use. Beautiful to boot! Shown in the pic against a 7" IKEA chef's knife for scale. — John O. ### ★★★★★ This gorgeous honesuki is so well balanced. Lighter than my zwilling pro knife set which turned out to be a delight. The handle fits my hand perfectly. I now own the perfect knife for me — Denise R. ### ★★★★★ Amazing knife. Handles great. Sharpening is terrific. Buy it — Juan E. ### ★★★★★ — Joel F. ### ★★★★★ Everything it was advertised as ! Couldn’t be more pleased — Grant G. ### ★★★★★ I collect Japanese knives. I love the Beautiful Damascus pattern on this Honesuki style blade made in Seki, Japan. Just as Detroit was known for automobiles, Seki, Japan is known for its production of quality knives. This knife is almost too beautiful to use. I own several Honesuki style blades. None of them have the Damascus pattern which set this blade apart. The only critique I have is I wish the handle was thicker. The handle is slightly thin to grasp when you have to debone a chicken. — Placido-Dale V. ### ★★★★★ — WAlter H. ### ★★★★★ — Timothy D. ### ★★★★★ Excellent craftsmanship. The wood handle feels great and the size complements my chefs knife. Excited for more limited runs! — Anthony G. ### ★★★★★ Made In knocked it out the park yet again! I have several limited edition knifes from them and everyone is special - so when you see a launch take notice! — David S. ### ★★★★★ Beautiful well made knife as well as extremely versatile. — Brian S. ### ★★★★★ When I hold this knife, I feel like it is an extension of my hand. It is neither too big nor too small, so it is not awkward to use. In terms of design, it is not overly practical, and it adds to the joy of cooking. — Woojun K. ### ★★★★★ Knife is very versatile, I use it to cut vegetables and meats . — Natalie S. ### ★★★★★ The truth of the matter is that I don't use it very often...because I own every knive the Made In has manufactured (this applies to their cookware also). It looks absolutely stunning in my collection and is a thing of beauty. I either have to get a bigger knife block or stop buying more knives. — Jenci B. ### ★★★★★ Beautiful and functional. It is the fabulous quality that I have come to expect from Made In. Love this knife. — Mike K ### ★★★★★ — Leo E. ### ★★★★★ — Joseph D. ### ★★★★★ I love the feel and style of the knife. It is well balanced. And the edge slices with ease through vegetables and meat. Added with the other Special Edition knife, they make a beautiful set to show off. — Ron B. ### ★★★★★ Absolutely exquisite knife, and an insanely sharp edge. I can’t wait for the next limited edition, this was the first knife I have bought from Made-In and my expectations were definitely exceeded. — Benjamin K. ### ★★★★★ Beautifully crafted and well balanced. High quality I’ve grown to expect from Made In products. Thank you — Maureen B. ### ★★★★★ Beautiful knife and can be used for almost all food preparation. Nice quality and design and good balance in the hand. — Karin D. ### ★★★★★ My new fave. Great size. Perfect for cutting up a chicken. Nicely weighted and balanced wonderfully. Love the feel! — JOEL S. ### ★★★★★ Wonderful craftsmanship. If it wasn't a limited edition I would use it daily — Dale T. ### ★★★★★ Loved the “feel” of this knife. Easy to use. Maneuvers efficiently when carving a chicken. — David S. ### ★★★★★ Love the feel and overall craftsmanship of this knife! The edge is incredible! — Kevin W. ### ★★★★★ Sharp as can be and great for prepping. Used it to process a chicken and had no issues. No complaints so far! — Matthew H. ### ★★★★★ Absolutely love this latest edition to my Made In knives! Love the size and the precision sharp end gave me the dexterity to easily debone a whole chicken! So happy to have had the opportunity to own this limited edition knife! — Tiffany F. ### ★★★★★ It's as functional as it is beautiful. Incredibly sharp and precise, a perfect extension of your hand when working with it. — Scott H. ### ★★★★★ Absolutely beautiful knife. The quality and craftsmanship is unparalleled. I have a few other Japanese knives I picked up in Kyoto and this blade goes slice for slice with them. Cannot wait for tomato season, for know we’re boning chicken and fish with ease! — Thomas L. ### ★★★★★ — Heidi B. --- URL: https://madeincookware.com/products/honesuki-knife/le-padauk-wood
