Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 6-Inch Chef's Knife
Customer Review: My First Katana
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this knife in a local store and used a coupon to reduce the price to give the knife a try. It is the sharpest knife I have ever bought or used, and I have used a good number over the years including various German and other excellent brands. The balance and appearance are outstanding. The layered steel is attractive and interesting, but I don't know how much it contributes to the actual cutting, but it looks great. The tapered bolster reminds the user to grip the knife properly (if you are of the "pinch" grip persuasion). It is very easy to use with all kinds of food and cutting chores. It has held its edge with pretty frequent use for well over a year. I like to keep my knives sharp, and so far, this has not needed sharpening. I have bought other Katana knives piecemeal since purchasing this one and have really had good luck and experiences with all except the 5.5" serrated knife: it seemed to shred rather than slice/saw, so I returned it. I have five other Katana knives and plan to build my set piece by piece. I have had absolutely no rusting or cleaning problems, although I do try to clean all my knives as soon as possible after use. Highly recommended for sharpness, balance, use, design, and appearance.
Description of Calphalon Katana Stainless-Steel 6-Inch Chef's Knife
Named for the sacred sword carried by Japan's Samurai warriors, Calphalon Katana Series cutlery has its roots in a centuries-old tradition of superior cutlery craftsmanship. Like the awe-inspiring swords wielded by the Samurai, Calphalon Katana Series cutlery is crafted using a time-honored layering process that creates a Damascus style blade, clad with 33 stainless steel layers. This unique series of cutlery uses VG Japanese steel, which provides exceptional sharpness and ultimate edge retention. These knives also feature a patented integrated bolster design and an ergonomically designed poly-resign handle. This knife is the most commonly used knife in the kitchen. The blade of the Chef knife is designed to handle a wide range of tasks. It is gently curved from tip to heel allowing you to use a gentle rocking motion as you cut.Chef's Knives
