Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The handle is made with superior quality PakkaWood, sourced from Africa. It is a full tang handle with a slight curve that gives extremely comfortable holding and does not tire the hand as you hold the knife for long time.
It comes with a semi-rectangular-shaped blade that is curved at the end and its blade is paired with a very attractive wooden handle that’s supposed to make it look rustic, but only made it look more luxurious if you ask me.
Made of high-carbon German steel, you are assured of its durability and quality. Add to that, it is designed to last a long time without the need for constant sharpening and alignment.

What reviewers didn't like

Small blade size
The handle requires a lot of effort to maintain
Be ready to manually do aftercare as this is not dishwasher safe. It also requires proper storage especially that its handle is made of wood which may be prone to chipping, rotting as well as getting dents or scratches.
