Home Hero Japanese Deba Knife - VG10 Damascus Steel Kitchen Blade - Precision Fish Filleting & Sushi Knife - 6 Inch, Damascus

I've ordered every home hero knife they offer and doubles of some to give as gifts. They're good quality knives and a great value for the price. They're sharp, hold their edge reasonably well and are pretty good looking. The handle isn't perfect, the tang and pins aren't exactly even with the wood. It's still comfortable to hold though so I'm not going to knock it down a star. At this price I wasn't expecting the same quality as a knife that costs 3-5× as much. A minor imperfection on the handle is no big deal for me. At this price a VG10 blade of this size is still a great deal.

Very nice, VG10 laminated-blade Damascus-style santoku knife. Good balance, good handle, super sharp out of the box. The layering looks nice, comparable to Shun. VG10 knives have a hard, tenacious alloy steel center layer, for edge holding ability. The layered Damascus pattern is mostly for looks, the magic is really in the steel metallurgy and the tempering. I was pleasantly surprised, I did not expect much for the inexpensive price, and the silly brand name. The core steel looks and feels comparable to some of the well-known brand VG10 knives which are priced at 3-4x. These knives are not for cutting frozen stuff, the edge is so hard that it may chip..but they are perfect for vegetables or meats, It has some heft to it, and it is a bit short to serve as your main chef knife, but it will find a role in your kitchen. The price is usually less for shorter knives, you are paying for the amount of VG10 core you get. Of course I have to see how it holds up (how long it keeps a good edge when in use) Will post an update when I have and idea. I have several VG10 and SG2 knives, so it will be easy to see how this compares.

This is the second of these knives I've purchased. The other was a Utility knife from the same collection. This Deba is great knife for the money. It is true that not all of the handle rivets were set flushed with the wood, but that is easy to remedy and a very small issue all things considered. If I needed a different Japanese style knife, I would not hesitate to buy another one from Home Hero. BTW, they look really nice too and feel good in the hand. Just make sure to wash and dry them immediately. Dishwashers will kill them.

Nice knives, good steel that holds it's edge well.

Sharpest knife over ever owned, feels good in the hand. Make sure to dry it after washing or it will begin to rust on the blade besides that it’s heat highly recommended for the price

Sharpest kitchen knife I have. Sounds like a sword when I pull the cover off of the blade. It must be a high quality steel like they mentioned. For the very low price, this has to be a steal.

I have a lot of knives and these these are great quality and value. They are not a $200 show piece but a go to everyday knife.

These knives are awesome. I've bought three of them, in different sizes. The workmanship is excellent and they're super sharp and they're keep the their edge for a very long time. A couple of the ones I have, I've had for over a year, and there's still razor sharp.
