Michel Customer –
I bought this knife based on description and the reviews. Goes to show you that you can’t really believe what you read. This knife is poor quality.
1, I opened the case and there was fingerprints all over the knife….really?
2, On the handle, ALL rivets are raised on the one side making it very uncomfortable when you hold the Knife.
3, The blade is very thin and came out of the box completely dull.
I’m so disappointed that after just 2 minutes it went right back into the box and I’m sending it back. This was a real letdown and I would recommend that you STAY AWAY from this knife and TUO altogether. If they brag on how much effort they put into this knife and this is the end result-don’t bother.

Beautiful knife. Perfect brushed finish. Excellent grip. It just looks and feels like a top quality piece. The edge is the sharpest, finished, polished to a level that cannot be exceeded. Superb packaging. It is indistinguishable from a 200 dollar knife. Except for one thing . During the handle polishing process, the belt grinder or buffer wheel that was used took off the wood before it took off the steel. This occurs typically when there’s slack and or too coarse of a grit on the belt grinder. The result is a razor sharp edge on the op and bottom of the steel tang and handle pins. Its sharp enough to shave my fingernails, but doesn’t quite cut the skin. Its something that if youre wearing a cut glove or if you have tough skin probably won’t bother you, but if you have soft skin and are doing a lot of cutting will likely chafe your skin red. This explains why these knives were deeply discounted because its a 120 dollar knife easy. Even 200. At the 20 to 30 level theyre taking a loss. This problem can likely be remedied by using a diamond stone to smooth out the edges, but will scratch the wood. For me , its a real bargain, but for the commercial chef it will likely be unacceptable without gloves. Wear a cut glove anyway to protect yourself and take some fatigue away from the exercise. Otherwise, gorgeous blade.

First off I will state that I have been using this knife for over a month, at least weekly. It is pretty darn good.
Great value and great looks. The blade design is pretty. Unfortunately it is not etched in (unauthentic), but rather part of the casting. It is very light as I was expecting a heavy duty knife. It has remained sharp, very sharp for the past month. On that note, take precautions as it would easily remove a finger if your not careful.
Do not hesitate, the price is great, the quality seems great. As for longevity, I cannot attest to, but if you take care of it, it should last a very long time. A great alternative to other similar knives, but you get fast shipping, a very nice box. Overall, I’d give it 5/5.

It seems a lot of effort has been put into making this knife shiny But it sounds tinny and cheap. So far it is holding an edge though. I purchased this to determine if the Kiritsuke style blade is useful. So far I do appreciate the blade shape and function. The packaging is over the top too. Would be a good gift for someone getting into cooking.

Haven’t tried it yet as it’s a father’s day gift…BUT when I picked it up at Purlator the knife wasn’t properly secured in the box and it slipped right through the cardboard box and missed the toes of the guy carrying it..when I got it home..the knife was out of the gift box it came..just rolling around in the Amazon box ..it seems to be alright and sharp..but the packaging of the item was terrible..glad nobody lost a toe(s) when it pierced through the box bottom…not too mention the box was so big, though I was receiving a Samara sword in it rather then the 12 inch knife ordered.😉

This is an absolutely stunning and beautiful knife.
But, it belongs in a display case.
For perspective (I have all three):
A Mercer Asian Collection Chinese Chef Knife weighs 261 grams and is significantly taller.
A Mercer Genesis Nakiri weighs 233 grams and is significantly more nimble.
A Mercer Renaissance 8″ Chef Knife weighs 235 grams and is my do everything knife.
This thing comes in at 366 grams!
But, it does not have the bulk preparation or food transfer capabilities of a Chinese style Chef Knife, the nimbleness and precision of a Japanese style Nakiri, nor the do everything capabilities of a German style Chef Knife. This thing really isn’t any good at anything. But, it is so heavy.
The handle on this thing feels slippery. It feels like, if I let my guard down, this thing is just going to fly out of my hand. Heavy, sharp and slippery. It is really an uncomfortable feeling.
Top marks for presentation. Arrives in a sleek black box with a magnetically secured folding top. The red felt lined interior is a well thought out contrast. The knife itself is beautiful. As a gift, really classy, sure to impress… as long as it skips the knife block and goes directly to a display case.

Good price and overall good quality. Very sharp and makes easy to cut big roasts or turkeys.
The flaw, as mentioned by another customer here, is the bottom end of the blade, near the handle is sharp, finished in a pointy edge which is dangerous if you do not pay attention especially when you wash it and wipe it.
I knew about this because of other review and still bought it.
Another thing is the size of it makes it difficult to store in the drawer. I keep mine in the box it came and take it out just for the occasion.
I am happy with it for the money I paid.

I don’t know much about knives so I’m not really qualified to comment on the overall enduring quality of this knife. Initially it was super sharp but became quite blunt after not sharpening it for about 5 months. Seems reasonable.
I use a cheap ikea sharpener and it sharpens up to an acceptable sharpness quickly and holds that for a couple of weeks.
It’s comfortable to handle. I’m generally happy with it. It does what I need it to do.

I use knives 40 hours a week for work as a butcher and then a couple more cooking at home. I’m fairly picky when looking for knives, because of how much I use them. But I’m also a professional with years of experience using knives. I was looking for something in the mid price range as a new boning knife for work as the Dexter boning knife that’s provided doesn’t hold a super sharp edge long enough (although it would be an amazing knife for at-home kitchen use).
This knife is plagued with issues, which I was expecting since it is not a reputable brand name or good German or Japanese steel, and I’ll go into each one.
I will say it was well-packaged and opening it up left a good first impression that gave me some hope. But it ended there. The first thing I noticed is there’s a pattern embossed into the knife above the blade. This is to try to mimic the Damascus steel look of Japanese knives, but it’s cheaply done and looks tacky. Not only this, but it gets the knife caught in the meat and is an extra surface for bacteria to grow.
Next, the feel of the knife. The handle is much heavier than the blade of the knife, leading to a heavily off-balance knife. Some people prefer this, but I have found it gives less control of the knife where you need it. On top of this, the handle is very smooth and doesn’t have any contours, making it hard to grip and keep in place. That paired with the fact that it’s handle-heavy just ruins any control of the knife that you might have had; if the handle gets wet or bloody, it becomes impossible to grip.
Next, the finger guard. While it’s nice having something like a finger guard (although it’s not necessary if the handle is contoured and so slippery), this particular design has a very aggressive finger guard which catches on the meat since it itself isn’t sharp. This paired with the embossing on the blade make it much more difficult to make cute.
Next, the sharpness. This knife came right out of the box and into use and the lack of quality control became very apparent here. The top half of the blade was moderately sharp; duller than a knife that’s coming from the manufacturer or a professional sharpener should be, but about what it would be if sharpened at home. The bottom half of the knife was pretty dull. The difference was extremely noticeable when cutting exclusively with one half vs the other as opposed to a natural rolling cut. I tried honing it, but that didn’t help. So I sharpened it myself and it was decently sharp throughout, about the same as the top half was from the manufacturer.
Finally, the steel. I used this knife for a couple hours despite its issues to give it a fair shot. The steel is of a lower quality than even my standard boning knife and even with constant honing, it was dull after a couple hours. In comparison, my Dexsteel $20 boning knife can go 2-3 days of constant use with honing before it needs sharpening.
Overall, this is just a low quality knife and I was fairy disappointed because of all of the great reviews that are on here. It might look fancy, but looks are deceiving. The manufacturer just hopes you don’t use the knife often enough or know knives enough to realize it’s poor-quality.
If you’re looking for a good, cheap knife and you only plan on using it in the kitchen, go with a Mercer Milennial. If you want a really nice knife and don’t mind spending money up front for something high-quality that will last a lifetime, go with a Wusthof Classic Ikon or a Shun Premier.

I purchased this for my man who is a chef. As some of you may know, chefs are very particular about their knifes, and even though he wasn’t looking for the best knife out there, it had to fit a number of ‘must-haves’. It had to be a full tang knife, it had to have a wood handle, it had to be made of German Steel, and it had to be simple in design (no Damascus blade, no insets in the handle, no flashy colours, etc). I’m happy to say that the Tuo Blackhawk Nakiri knife exceeded his expectations!
The packaging was really well done and extra consideration was made to keep the blade safe and secure. A handy wipe cloth was also provided in the box, though I am told chefs don’t really use it. General comments from the chef is that the knife itself is well balanced and well-made, the blade is extremely sharp and has held its edge over the past month while being used daily, and the handle is surprisingly really comfortable. The knife handle was completely smooth and the pins do not protrude and are not damaging to the skin, unlike what some of the other reviewers mentioned. I thought I would share the recipient’s comments (since he is a chef) in case it could help other potential buyers. If you can get this knife for under $40 as I did, it’s a great bargain for the quality of knife you are getting.

Excellent little paring knife, with a smoothly finished handle and a deep bellied blade, to tackle most small kitchen jobs.
Very comfortable in use, well balanced and nicely finished. The blade takes a good edge too, and this is a much used addition to the kitchen knife collection.

This is my second TUO knife. I’m a diehard Shun fan. But I have to say. Money for value is huge here. Great design, weight, comfort, and holds an edge. Absolutely an amazing addition to my collection

This knife is very ‘pretty’ if that’s what you’re look for. The packaging is also quite impressive. Although quite sharp the blade sounds ‘tinny’ and feels somewhat cheap. Hard to determine at this point how long the edge will last. Due to the high shine of the blade it’s also very sticky with the sliced items difficult to remove. The handle is far too slippery which can be dangerous and needs to be somewhat more ergonomic. Compared to my Henckels professional ‘S’ knives it leaves alot to be desired but it’s also alot cheaper so it’s not even in the same class. I will replace it with a Henckels Professional ‘S’ Nakiri Knife when I get the chance.
