Barry's Knives
Well-Known Member
I have one of these Mazakis. It's a really nice knife. The steel is super hard and it feels very sturdy in hand. On stones it doesn't have the best feedback and feels somewhat glassy. The taper is spot on so that you can do finer work with the tip, athough it still doesnt glide through onions as easy as some other knives. The profile is very flat - too flat for my taste as I like a bit of belly, but I appreciate that it's an aspect a lot of forum members like. Overall though it's a great knife. Still think they're fantastic value for money.
