This knife feels like it would make a real chef proud

Super high quality, luxury feel

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!

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

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

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

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.
