Review: Wife loves the handle, weight and balance - I bought this for my wife. She has increasing joint pain and had mentioned that a couple of her knives were hurting her hands when she had to use them for more than a few minutes. We are not knife snobs (most of our knives are Victorinox, Global, etc.) but we *do* care about them. I was leery about buying a cheap Chinese knife, but I took a chance on this knife, mainly because of the handle shape and the decent reviews. She has been very pleased. We've only had it for a few weeks so I can't say about long-term durability or edge-holding, but they came out of the box sharp enough (again, not snob sharp, but as sharp as our Chef's Choice sharpened knives), and they've held up for a few weeks now. The thicker, rounder handle feels better in her hand, and she appreciates the balance, with the center of gravity a bit more toward the handle. The handle is attractive enough, but know that it's not really what a normal person would call "wood" (that is, cut from a tree and put on a knife). I'm not *exactly* certain what "pakkawood" is, but if you told me it's really a composite material (you know, sawdust and plastic binder), I'd believe it in a second. The color and "grain" are printed on, which is not what I expected, but it *should* have been what I expected when you consider the (very low) price. Frankly, we're both fine with it: you can't expect more for this price, and it's probably a lot less fussy this way anyway. Besides, fit, balance, sharpness and durability mean a lot more than handle material. For what we've been able to experience in a few weeks, this knife is certainly good enough, even before you consider the very reasonable price.
Review: 7 year update and I wanted to share - I've had this knife for 7 years and it's my favorite knife in the kitchen. I have fancy knives that cost hundred of dollars, and other less-expensive knives that I use from time to time, too. This knife is so good that I felt compelled to share my experience with others. It's sharp, easy to keep sharp, feels well balanced, good grip and no slip, not too large to be cumbersome, designed really well. It has no business being this affordable. Go for it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Japanese knife. German steel. Made in CHINA ??  Doesnt that make it yet another CHINESE knife ??**
A: China has contracts to make knives for Wustof and Zwilling/Heckels. German steel is a type of steel, not a citizen of Germany. Anyone, anywhere can make german steel with the right metallic components......just like you can make a streusel in America but it's origins are German. The Tuo Nakri knife is styled after a Japanese knife made of a specific type of metal with origins from Germany. The knife is produced in China. China has a long history in making quality knives with a number of steel types including Aus10, VG10, and 1.4116. Tuo does a good job with their knife production.
BTW, American companies also make a Nakari style knife with 1.4116 German steel.

**Q: What is the weight of this TUO cleaver?**
A: The weight of this chopper is 0.65 LB. Thanks for your attention.

**Q: Can this cut a coconuts hard shell?**
A: I found a cleaver that specifically stated it was "Perfect for cutting through coconuts and their hard husks".
Amazon does sell it and the name is 

Mueller 7-inch Cleaver Knife, Vegetable Meat Chinese Chef’s Knife, German Stainless Steel with Ergonomic Pakkawood Handle, for Home Kitchen and Restaurant

Hope this helps!

**Q: Do you have blade covers for the individually sold knives?**
A: I'm really sorry that these knife have no knife sheath. To make our customers 100% is our policy, we will consider to launch the knife sheath in the near future. Thanks for your attention.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Value For Such a Quality Product
*by S***E on February 1, 2023*

Wasn't expecting much from this very inexpensive $20 knife. We have many visiting chefs and need to have multiple knives. This was an emergency buy to have enough backups for a big night of cooking. Very sharp as received, but we do our blade prep on every knife. Surprisingly, this knife was not only the first picked, but actually shared among the chefs! Many positive comments and is still picked over the comparable Henckels and Shun knives in the block. Blows me away! Of course, like any quality knife, you will imediately destroy it by putting it in the dishwasher and by not storing and caring for it properly. It is lightweight, well balanced, feels like a quality knife, comfortable to hold and has the perfect handle angle. Highly reccommended.
