Our take on the Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor 1034425

The Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor 1034425 is an 8-inch chef's knife with a stainless steel blade and a brown wood handle, made in Japan. Its steel is hardened to about 53 HRC, which is softer than the 58–61 HRC blades on most German and Japanese premium chef's knives, so the edge rolls and dulls sooner but is quicker to hone back. The wood handle and hand-wash care put it in the traditional, care-heavy camp. It suits cooks who want a light-feeling Japanese-style blade and will maintain it, not those who want a dishwasher-safe workhorse.

Questions and answers

Is the Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor chef's knife good for beginners?
It is usable for beginners, but the wood handle and hand-wash care need attention. A softer 53 HRC blade is forgiving of rough technique but needs regular honing.
How does it compare with harder Japanese chef's knives?
At about 53 HRC its edge is softer than the 58–61 HRC blades common on premium Japanese knives. It dulls sooner but is easier to realign with a honing rod.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
No. It is specified for hand washing, and the wood handle should not be soaked or left wet.
What is the blade length and weight?
The blade is 8 inches and the knife weighs about 24.6 oz.
Is it a single knife or a set?
It is a single chef's knife, not a set.
Where is the Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor 1034425 cheapest?
At Nordstrom, for $84.99, as of our latest check.
