As an amateur home chef - my opinion
I’m an amateur home chef (people tend to rave over my cooking which is nice!) BUT prep can be a real pain! Obviously I was looking forward to receiving my Matsato knife. I rated it as an 8/10 bc I couldn’t get it to slice my tomatoes paper thin like the ad did. It’s not as sharp as my Henckel knife, however its weight makes quick work dissecting a chicken or dealing with dicing through dense root vegetables. All in all I’m still very pleased with my purchase.
