WALLOP Chef Knife - AUS-10 Core 67 Layers Japanese Damascus Kitchen Knife with Non-slip Ergonomic G10 Handle & Wave Blade Pattern, Meat Cleaver, Chopper Cutter Chefs Knife with Sheath - 8''

This is one of my most favorite in my collection. I have the entire wallop knife set. It’s the handle and design I think I like most. I have the 10.5 for carving meat and love that one as well. I did send my first one back due to a missed issue that resulted in the grinding being too close to the blade giving it a serrated edge toward the handle. They sent a new one immediately and allowed me to send the other back free of charge. It was all handle quick and the result is a good experience all around.

The blade is curved from the handle of the knife and cannot be used. At least Amazon's replacement service is good.Update a year later： the knife has no elasticity. When you press it, it will remain bent, and there is no elasticity at all.

The Wallop Vampire Series 8 Inch Chef Knife has a beautiful damascus blade and quality workmanship. The G10 handle feels very comfortable to hold and the knife feels balanced to handle. It weighs in at 9.47 oz and has a 0.075 inch spine. The knife was packaged in a nice protective gift box. The knife included a quality black protective Knife Edge Guard that I will use for storage in a drawer. The blade has a very sharp edge, after a couple light swipes on my steel. This is an excellent Chef Knife for the price!

very sharp with good edge retention . Feels good in the hand. I would highly recomend this item.

I like this knife so much. Amazing Damascus pattern. Very Sharp, wonderful customer service.Update: Have been using this knife for about 4 to 5 months now.Amazing knife, very sharp. 5 stars for the Customer service.Before i explain about the knife, i want to tell my experience of customer service by Wallop Store.I recently resharpened my Wallop 67 layers Damascus 8inch chef knife. But after i resharpened it, probably because of the high HRC of 60+ the knife had several chips. Which i was bit unhappy and reported it to the seller after 3 to 4 months asking if it was Lifetime warranty or would provide any solution to fix the issue. The seller directly offered me to send me a replacement. That is how much they stand behind their 100% satisfaction guarantee statement.Now coming to the knife itself: Love the knife. Very nice shape to it.High HRC as mentioned in the description. So you will need a sharpening stone or ceramic rod for re honing and sharpening.Balance is closer to the handle. Blade is light. I mean this is a hand heavy knife. Pattern is BEAUTIFUL, one of my favorite patterns.Also comes in a nice box along with a PROTECTIVE SHEATH which i really appreciate, because sticking this to magnetic holders or dropping it in a drawer might scratch/damage the pattern.Overall this knife for a price point of less than 50$ is a STEEL ;) lol pun intended, compared to Dalstrong or other Japanese high carbon/damascus knives which will make you bleed to purchase.

This is my third purchase of an affordable Damascus blade and my favorite so far. I am a professional chef and a good handle is key to using a knife all day. My other two knifes the handles were to small. The bulge in the middle of this handle was maybe 20% larger than the other knives which was all that was needed. I am 5'10'' with normal size hands. The Damascus pattern on the knife is more attractive than the random pattern on my other knives. Came extremely sharp and steel quality seems very good. On a side note there was a small problem with my order and customer service was extremely quick and very helpful. Have already ordered another knife from them.

This review is provided by a knife noob who bought his first Damascus knife.I love it , came super sharp and goes through chicken(breast) and onion like they are butter.I am taking a lot of care not to cut myself as well as to keep it in pristine condition. I will update it’s durability as time goes . As of now I am hand cleaning after every use.As of now it is one of the best purchases I made .I used to use Walmart’s chef knife (I sharpen it before every use) . I don’t think I can ever go back to it .Happy customer :)
