Our take on the Enso HD Chef's Knife

The Enso HD is an 8-inch chef's knife with a VG-10 steel core clad in 37 layers of Damascus stainless, hand-finished with a hammered tsuchime surface and a 12-degree double bevel edge. The black canvas micarta handle has a full tang, stainless bolster and rivets, and the knife is handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, with a lifetime warranty. At $99.99 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare it against.

Questions and answers

Is the Enso HD chef's knife worth $99.99?
At $99.99 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, it is a fair price for a Seki-made VG-10 Damascus knife with a lifetime warranty. Comparable Japanese Damascus 8-inch chef's knives often cost more.
Is it good for left-handed users?
Yes. The edge is a double bevel, so it works for both right- and left-handed cooks.
How should I care for the blade?
Hand wash and dry it promptly, and avoid the dishwasher. The 12-degree edge is thin, so skip bones, frozen food and hard squash to prevent chips.
What is in the box?
The knife itself. No saya or block is listed, so plan on separate storage.
How does it compare with a Western chef's knife?
It is harder (Rockwell 61) and thinner-edged than most German-style knives, so it holds an edge longer but is less forgiving of rough use.
What do buyers say about the Enso HD Chef's Knife?
Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 95 ratings.
Where can I buy the Enso HD Chef's Knife?
3 stores we checked sell it, including eBay, Walmart, Cutlery and More.
