This knife is beautiful & sharp! Not too heavy. If you ever have to wield it as a weapon, I pity your attacker! Lol. Also, one should always hold it blade facing away if in self defense so you don’t cut yourself! #themoreyouknow

Gorgeous Chef Knife!

This knife feels like it would make a real chef proud

Super high quality, luxury feel

The natural birch handle is beautiful. Extremely sharp and cuts very well. 

Gorgeous Knife

Love it! Great feel in the hand, beautiful design, and works great.

Beautiful & cuts nicely

Great design and quality, but I find it a bit too big.

Quality Knife

Larger than I expected/hoped, but a true “chef’s knife.” I love bringing it out to cook with friends.

Beautiful and practical - but large 

I bought this knife as a gift for my mom, who loves to cook, and she absolutely loves it. It is extremely sharp and hasn't needed sharpening at all despite being used daily for a few months. The markings on the blade are beautiful and distinctive. 

Beautiful and very sharp

after years of using so-so knives, I was blown away by the quality, how easy it is to hold, how effective it is with minimum pressure applied. Italic, please make a pairing knife version of this! 

best knife i've ever used

I was excited to try this item as soon as it arrived! After three months of regular use, here are my takeaways:
- sharp out of the box, did a paper and tomato  test and it sliced through them like butter
- has a pretty aggressive blade curve. think zwilling kramer style with a Japanese handle
- beautiful handle finish, wears away though which is expected
- you will get a LOT of compliments 

Very sharp, beautiful knife

Beautiful knife. Light and VERY sharp. Be careful cleaning it, it's extremely easy to cut yourself. I saved the box it came in for storage as there was a nice depressed cushion cutout for it and I hope this helps keep it sharp. The handle is lovely but I find that the flat edges all around it aren't the most comfortable to hold, I would prefer if the entire surface were rounded. Just something to keep in mind. Overall great product at a great price and truly beautiful to look at.

Great Knife!

Beautiful conversation piece and cuts like a dream

Cuts cleanly

If you're looking to level up your kitchen setup, I'd jump for this! For a knife at this price it cuts just as well as you'd expect it to and it really speeds up prep time, and avoid frustration. It's still easy to clean.

Wonderfully effortless

Amazing quality

This is one of those fancy Japanese knives that you see for hundreds of dollars. To be fair, I’m not a chef and I just cook regular at home. But I’ve always wanted a knife like this and italic made it far more affordable for me to consider. It’s incredibly sharp and beautiful. Certainly take care of hand washing and drying, and I expect this to last for years. Perfect for slicing meat.

Sharp and beautiful

This knife is great so far! I replaced a knife that was quite old with this, and am hoping it is has the same durability. It’s also quite beautiful!

Light weight with precise cut!

This knife came in a very sturdy, protective box. It's extremely sharp and well-made. Super pretty, too!

Gorgeous and sharp

The handle is long even for larger hands. Visually it is beautiful though and it’s generally easy to care for. 

Good! Sharp 

Great quality knife!

Bought this knife as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it.  Very beautiful work of art.  The knife is very sharp and easy to use.  Highly recommend.

Beautiful Knife

I always feel like it's a treat when I use this knife. I love the purple color and would recommend that one if it's available.

Beautiful handle

Got one for myself after I got this for someone else—they loved it so much!

Great gift

Nothing more to say other than after professional sharpening, it cuts through everything in the kitchen like butter

This knife is amazing

This is my daily use knife, I have nothing but praise for it.

Fantastic chefs knife

This has served me well as my main chefs knife, it rivals $300 comparable knives

Great knife

This is the nicest knife I’ve ever seen with my eyes. It will probably cut my finger off at some point it’s so sharp. I love everything about it and the price is amazing. One of my favorite purchases. PSA: throw out your bamboo cutting boards - they’ll ruin your good knives. 

Beautiful knife

The picture says it all. This knife is a stunner in every way. Everyone who sees it is immediately so impressed. It's sharp, weighted well, and just a fantastic knife!

The Most Beautiful Knife

My husband loves to cook and was surprised with the quality of this knife. 

Made a wonderful gift

Gorgeous knife. Lightweight, sharp and stylish, a great kitchen addition. 

Beautiful Knife!

My husband does all the cooking so I bought him the kumo knife as his birthday gift. He loves using it and thinks it's one if the best knives he own. 

Gifted to my hubby 

seems nice, nice packaging. seems bigger than average chef knife. 

nice packaging 

A little bigger than I expected but cuts beautifully. Got as a gift for my parents and they love it

Super sharp and beautiful

When I was a child, I read mythology, legends, and fairy tales. The hero sometimes carried a sword of Damascus steel. At long last, I now have my very own Damascus steel. It’s a kitchen knife, not a weapon, but I’m still a warrior woman. Some day someone will inherit this heirloom piece as part of my legacy. 

At Last!!!

My fiancé loves to cook and I bought this for her as a gift. It looks stunning, which she loved, but the best reaction was the first time she used it. Italic sells a magnetic knife set and I added it to the board. Great value 

Beautiful & Sharp

This knife blew my socks off. I have never had such a high quality knife and it makes cooking a joy!

A must buy!!

I'm super happy with the quality and feel of this knife! It's beautiful and I was so happy I was finally able to snag it after being on the "notify me" list after it kept being sold out. It was shipped well protected in a giftable box. It fits my small/medium hand well and doesn't feel too heavy. I haven't had to sharpen it yet, so I can't speak to that thus far. It's SUPER sharp right out of the box.

Get it before it sells out again

A fancy knife is not a kitchen necessity, but it is a nice gift for or mainstay in a home cook’s arsenal. This one definitely punches above its price tag. The weight may not be as heavy as you expect, so be careful when using for the first time. Great design and sharp knife.

Great knife, good price

This knife is beautiful and is so sharp and such amazing quality. Love to bring it out when cooking for company. 

Amazing Quality

I've been waiting for this for so long and I'm glad it's back in stock! Love this so much! Very sharp and overall great quality.

Amazing Chef's Knife!

I bought this as a gift, and its quality and packaging far exceed my expectations. It is gorgeous and substantial in person.

I am so excited to gift this to someone

Luxurious and great quality. it's a bit too lightweight and the knife itself is a bit thinner than other chef knives

High quality but thin knife

Very pleased with this knife, I have used it for a few months and it has not failed me. Makes my cooking prep extremely easy, very happy with this purchase!

Sharp sharp sharp!

I love the formulation for all of these serums but the one that had the most visible impact on my skin was the retinal. My skin feels smooth and even and it even looks like it's glowing! However, I am purging from the formula, which was expected given that I'm two weeks into using it. To me, this means that it's working but hopefully I stop purging soon!

Five stars mostly for the retinal

Lovely knife. Pretty sharp as well, been using it for a couple months

This knife is really of high quality and absolutely beautiful. It would be great for gifting. We use it all the time. 

Great Quality Knife

Bought this for our summer house as needed a good sharp knife. This blade is sharp and beautiful, I expect the long lovely to age gracefully as well. Great addition to any kitchen.

Great knife--beautiful blade

It was a present to my husband. He didn’t start using it but it seems very sharp and useful 


This kitchen knife is a must have for any kitchen.

A Must Have

Beautiful 

Very nice design. My son wear them for snowboard and it keeps his hand warm and dry all the time. Highly recommend.

Warm and waterproof 

The comfort of wear and the very frame is very high quality. Really comfortable, I haven't tried it out at day light as I jumped in to wrote a review immediately because I loved it so much but I'd guess they're great at day light too. 🙂

High Quality 

These knives were sold out for a long time. I ordered as soon as they became available and do not regret. I ordered extras as gifts as they are beautiful and a great value. 

It’s beautiful in person and is super sharp! I did the paper cut and super thin tomato slice test and it passed! The knife is a little bigger than expected but all good. I wouldn’t recommend for cutting anything super dense though. 

Beautiful gift

This backpack exceeded my expectations. Very nice quality, a lot of compartments. 

Absolutely love it!

This is a fantastic looking knife. The design is absolutely amazing. My only feedback would be the case it comes in. Its not easy to use this knife and put it back and forth in the box, especially if used often. It needs some type of cover for daily use or a holder for it.

Great knife, looks incredible

So far used for a month, is sleek and sharp and the staining on the blade is beautiful.

Sleek and sharp

Loving my new knife. It's very lightweight and yet feels like a professional chef's knife. The handle is quite luxurious and sturdy. 

Amazing knife

I love this knife! My only complaint is that the grip is decorative only. 

Beautiful!

I am extremely happy with my Italic Damascus knife. The blade is made of excellent Damascus steel and the handle is comfortable to hold. It's a great tool for any kitchen task and has held up well after multiple uses. I highly recommend it.

Great weight to the Knife with nice etching into the blade. Cuts great!

Amazing Knife for the Price

Bought this as a gift for my husband, he loves it and now I’m going to get one for my brother 

Gift for hubby

Quite a lovely object for less than $100, here in blue. Good at knifing, too, once I stopped staring at it.

hold and behold

This is a Japanese chef’s knife so the blade is thinner than German versions. While it is not a true Damascus blade (it is just a design printed on vs many layers folded together), it still looks and works great, especially for the price! I didn’t care for the box (just white) but I bought it for the knife.

Some other reviewers noted it was large but it is a standard 8” chef’s knife. I posted a pic with my other knives (Wusthif, Global, Miyabi) for comparison.

Beautiful and Sharp!

We love this so much we bought more to give away for housewarming gifts, etc

Bought extras to give away

Got extras of this knife to gift to family and friends

Got this to gift

It cuts everything like it’s butter, and our favorite knife for processing meats. Makes things safer too

Best knife in the kitchen

I like the knife enough to buy it again as a gift for a friend. It is lightweight though if you prefer a heavier knife.

Solid chef's knife

Lightweight but strong and very sharp. Love the design and packaging.

Great knife! 

Not only is this knife gorgeous, it's sharp, well-weighted, and feels good in hand. I'm going to purchase another to travel with!

Love this knife!

I’ve been waiting for this knife to come back into stock for months and I have not been disappointed. It is a superior products for an excellent price.

Amazing! Worth the wait

This knife is stunning. Larger than I expected for some reason, but definitely a kitchen staple. 

WOW! So gorgeous

Very nice knives

This knife is fantastic for the price. Very sharp and well-designed. Wouldn't be surprised if this knife lasts me for the next 10 years.

Beautiful and sharp knife

For the price, about as good as it gets! It’s a pleasure to use; really enjoying using it so far! 

Great quality at a reasonable price point! 

Look at this knife!! It's amazing. I felt like I was taking out a Japanese family samurai sword heirloom 

functional piece of art

Can't ask for more in a knife and looks great on the counter as well

Form and Function

Love this knife and it stays sharp, but the handle is a little loose after about a year of use

Love it but handle is loose

I love this knife. It’s a bit too long and not the most comfortable, though. Sometimes I will reach for a more comfortable chef knife for a longer chopping sesh.

the handle is not ergonomic and had a hairline crack in it. It's very sharp and stunning though. It's a work of art. A little big though even for a tall/large person. 

Gorgeous but a little impractical and damaged

Nice material. However, the t-shirt is a bit too thin for my liking and wrinkles too easily.

Wrinkles a bit too easy

I would consider myself an intermediate home cook but I work with pretty budget/low tech tools. This has been my biggest investment knife so far and I only really use it for raw meats (boneless) and store it away after every use. I can't judge how it will stand up to rough use just because I don't want to damage it. I still use the packaging it came with which is not too sophisticated (glossy paper box with magnetic closure and foam insert). Overall I'm happy with it although it has limited use.

Pretty good starter Japanese knife

Comfy and loungy

The knife is pretty big, and has stylish etch marking highlighting it is a special knife. However, the Resin Honeycomb Blue is much darker than shown (very dark navy) in the photos, which was a disappointment. The quality of the knife itself is nice however, and worth the value.

Bulky, but sharp knife with beautiful resin handle

Packaging isn’t the best, given the non-descript white box and legit cling plastic wrap on the wooden handle lol but good enough! Maybe just not the prettiest for gift giving. Magnetized box and nice foam padding. The pattern on the knife itself is beautiful, just like in the photos, and I like the two-tone wood (natural teak hardwood). The wood isn’t as well marbled as in the photos though. I haven’t cut with it yet but overall looks, would say a great for the price!

Really nice

Get them all. Enjoy your life. Put them everywhere. They’re honestly all dope. 

Can’t write enough reviews about them. 

I love these bath towels there thick and very soft! I was also surprised by how large they are because I also purchased bath sheets along with this order. This bath towel will dry you off with out a problem and it won’t even feel wet. It will also swallow you with plenty of room to wrap around your body. The only reason I didn’t give these bath towels five stars was because I noticed fine lint coming off on me when I was drying off I know I’m being a little petty lol. It wasn’t a lot though.

Love these bath towels!

Took a risk buying in on a brand new Italic drop. I ordered one for myself and one for my mom—she says she likes the knife. I returned mine, one look and it wasn’t going to be quite right for me. It is larger than what I expected and very lightweight for a chef knife.

Pretty purple. Big knife. 

Great quality Japanese knife. The handle is beautiful but only complaint is that it’s not flush with how the pieces of are glued together. It’s noticeable but not a deal breaker.

Cool blade

Very sharp knife and beautiful to look at, however, compared to other knives I've purchased at the $150-$250 range that this knife is meant to be comparable to, there are are dings to quality, e.g. the handle and edge.

It is also a very large chef's knife that's difficult to tell from the pictures.

Solid knife for the price

This knife is really appealing and super sharp. My only knocks against it are that the handle feels light and not counter-balanced well and the packaging for the knife doesn't include a sheath which you would expect for a knife at this price point and quality. 

Beautiful sharp knife but no sheath

The knife is very pretty, as far as how it performs, have to admit just feels like a normal knife.

nice! very pretty handle

I like a more oily vitimin C serum, however for the price this isnt bad. I just wish the consistency was different.
