Call me juvenile but I really bought this #knife coz I wanted to use a workhorse bearing this name 🙈 ….. . Straight to it, a #Japanese short #samurai sword, or #Katana blade is called a #Tanto, which this knife is fashioned after. The edge is straight enough, and blade short enough to have characteristics of a #Nakiri, yet long enough at 8.5 inches to be able to perform as a #Gyuto Japanese chef knife. German Stainless steel double bevel blade with a Sakimaru sword tip that is also super sharp. The poly antibacterial handle is good but nothing to get over excited about. . On vegetables, the knife performs quite well. As it's a wee but long, I would say it will not perform as well as a 6-inch nakiri or a #santoku as it doesn't distribute the force towards the tip as efficiently but it does the job with chopping motions. . On meat this knife is a beast. Known for good #butcher knives, F. Dick does not disappoint with the tanto. Heavy enough to work through primal cuts and retains a fine edge to make quick work of tough or sticky skin and rind. . Dalstrong has a similar shaped knife but the tip is not sharpened like the F. Dick Tanto. And the Damascus layering is not exactly worth the money you pay for. I wasn’t too impressed with the Dalstrong Tanto and returned it. Please DM me if you would like me to elaborate. . As an overall workhorse I rate this very high at 9/10. . #kitchenknives #chefknives #chefknife #butcherknife #chef #cheflife #review #knifereview #japaneseknife #japaneseknives
