Summary: 5 Stars
I like high quality knives, and I already have a complete set of Henkels, so it was hard for me to justify getting a knife just to cut sushi rolls. But, I wanted to try using a traditional Japanese knife that is ground on only one side as this one is. Note that this one is ground for right-hand use, though I'm fairly certain it will still cut just as well when used left-handed.
It is great for lopping off the little sushi roll ends and turning them into bite-sized snacks without squishing the roll. Fun stuff!
It cannot be run through the dishwasher, but is easy to clean by hand.
The handle is called "ho wood" and it took quite a bit of research to find out what this is. Turns out it is the dried wood of a Japanese Cyprus, and has natural oils in it with antibacterial properties. Makes sense that it is traditionally used with sushi knives given the importance of cleanliness when dealing with uncooked foods.
This is a much better quality knife than the price would suggest. To get better than this will require at least four to five times the money, which for me was not worth it given that it is essentially a single-tasker. You can use it for other things, of course, but mostly it is just to cleanly cut the rolls.
