Verdict
Overall sentiment for the Matsato Knife is predominantly positive, with customers frequently praising its exceptional sharpness, ergonomic balance, and overall value. Many users find it to be a reliable and efficient tool for everyday kitchen preparation. However, a small number of consumers report concerns regarding delivery times, consistency in blade longevity, and persistent marketing follow-ups from the company.
If anyone knows anything about knives and have used these then they will tell you they are rubbish, cheap for a reason and advertise hard sell on social media sites, I have many knives of many brands, I bought these to compare and they are useless, nice and sharp when you get them but dull quickly and edge doesn't last, and totally not balanced, highly not recommended from me.

This is definitely the best knife for the kitchen I have ever owned. The blade has stayed amazingly sharp with regular use. The handle is smooth to the point of almost soft to the touch. My favorite feature though, is the hole in the blade. It makes the knife feel like an extension of your hand and the control is absolutely priceless. Show details · 1

Since I purchased the knife I don’t use anything else.. It’s been over a year since I got it and it’s still sharp as the first day.. You know every now and then I sharpen it. My kitchen doesn’t know any other, excellent for chopping Italian parsley or green onions, peppers etc.. thanks Matsato Knife.. I got two of them one for my son and one for my self on line.. So it wasn’t purchased at any store, it was directly with the Matsato Co. Show details · 1
The Matsato Knife is one of the best kitchen knives I have ever owned. When I first received it in the mail, I carefully cleaned it before testing its performance by slicing a tomato, an onion, and a potato. I aimed to evaluate the knife's effectiveness consistently across each item. To my delight, I was able to produce paper-thin slices of each… Read more · 1
without any effort. The knife glided smoothly through all the ingredients. It is, without a doubt, the sharpest knife I have ever used. In fact, I bought one for my son-in-law's birthday, as he is an excellent cook, and I thought this knife would impress him. It certainly did!
These matsato knife are amazing, I use it for everything. I bought 2 for my wife, and 3 plus the little pocket knife for myself. Absolutely love them. Show details · 1
Have used this well crafted knife for some time now, and my honest thoughts are it's absolutely got to be the best value for money I've spent my money on. The blade sharpness is exceptional and stays sharp, like anything you buy, use it with respect and what it's designed for. Show reply
I bought 3 of these great knives & 3 leather pouches & 3 Matsato pocket knives as well . Sharp & effective . Show details · 2

I purchased some Matsato knives a few months back and because of the reasonable price I ended up buying 6 and have used them as very nice gifts to friends and family. I find the knives very sharp and also a perfect size for cutting most vegetables, meats & fruits and feels quite ergonomic. I would highly recommend these Matsato knives to everyone! Show details · 1

Your knives feel great and the edge last a long time. Great for cutting anything you want to cut. Overall just a great knife to have and use. I liked it so much I bought more for myself and for other family members. Show details · 1
Follow-up · It is as easy to clean as other knives. It stays sharp through a lot of use and is easy to sharpen. I do recommend using the correct angle. The edge lasts longer if you run it over a steel after each use. As for comfort, the handle fits very well in your hand and is very comfortable.
I find my Matsato knife is the most used knife in my selection of knives. I purchased other Matsato knives as gifts for friends and family. I was so impressed that I purchased another larger knife and the large chopping knife. Very very pleased with your products. Show details · 1
Follow-up · I have found the Matsatop knives to retain their edge with a few strokes on. A good steel. I’ve had many knives over the years and the Masato is one of the best . I would recommend it it to everyone.

Honestly i cant comment on the actual knives- after the absolutely dismal treatment ive received not to mention the headache of being shunted from matsuto support to shell company after shell company with all denying the existence of my order - i want absolutely nothing to do with this predatory circus and will be sending the package back… Read more
unopened. (Now that they have coincidentally found and sent my package today in order to deny me a compassionate cancellation) Dont give these guys the satisfaction of your business, i wish i had listened when my bank flagged it as a shady transaction.

NOTE: I have not purchased the knife do this review is not based on the knife. The review is based on the company. I was looking at buying a knife from Matsato a few months ago but I changed my mind after I had placed my details in for purchase. Ever since then they have spammed my phone with non stop phone calls to try and finish the purchase.… Read more
I have asked several times now for them to stop calling me but yet they continue to ring. Based on this I rate the company 1 star.

Purchased 3 knives Xmas 2025. The one I kept for myself is ok, needs lots of sharpening, but today, 2 months in, the rear of the handle clicked. It's starting to come loose. Look these are cheap Chinese knives but that's rediculous. Don't but one.

I was very pleased with the Matsate Knife that I purchased, with its very sharp blade and pleasing feel whilst using it for cutting. I was so pleased that I bout knives for each of my children so they can share the same quality knife. Show reply
Follow-up · Answers to follow up questions: - the handle is made of wood - It is easy to sharpen, as I use specific sharpening blocks and a leather strop - the blade is 15cm long (approx as curved blade).
Best knife EVER! Have a drawer full of knifes, none handle as well as my Matsato knife! Stays remarkably sharp, maintains its hardness, cuts like into hot butter. Handle is very comfortable, ergonomic, feels „right“! Hole in the blade helps cutting force, directional control while cutting bigger items. Great $$ value to price ratio. Gifted sets to family and friends, everybody ❤️ LOVES ❤️ the knife! Show details · 1
Rarely does the buyer get true quality at a reasonble price but that is the case with Matsato knives. I've made a few knives previously and with that background I can say the build of them is excellent. My original purchase is about a year old now and has quickly become a kitchen favourite. They retain their edge extremely well. Mine have needed… Read more · 1
only minor sharpening twice in 12 months of solid use and then it was a few swipes on the Matsato supplied stone. In fact I think they are so good I've bought others for our kitchen and gifts for the family.
These knives seem to be as advertised. They are very sharp and seem to hold that edge very well. They are comfortable to hold and use, well balanced especially for the price. I haven't regretted my four knife purchase whatsoever. Show details · 1
