Our take on the Hoshanho 8" Japanese Chef Knife with Sheath

The Hoshanho is an 8-inch Japanese-style chef knife in 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon steel at 60 HRC, hand-sharpened to a 13° edge on both sides. It has a wooden ergonomic handle, a sloped bolster and a matte blade finish, and ships with a rubberwood sheath and gift box. At $32.00 on eBay as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across the 5 stores that price it new.

Pros
  • Hard 60 HRC steel should hold an edge well
  • 13° edge per side cuts thinner than a typical Western 15–20° knife
  • Ships with a rubberwood sheath and gift box
  • Matte blade finish resists showing smudges
  • Low price for a high-carbon Japanese-style blade
Cons
  • High-carbon steel needs drying after washing to avoid rust spots

  • No sharpener included
  • Wooden handle needs occasional oiling
  • Thin hard edge can chip if used on a hard board or with twisting cuts

Questions and answers

Is this knife worth $32?
At $32.00 on eBay as of November 5, 2026, it is cheap for a 60 HRC Japanese-style blade with a sheath. Expect to care for it more than a soft stainless knife.
How does it compare with a Western chef knife?
It is thinner and sharper at 13° per side, so it slices and chops with less effort. A Western knife at 15–20° is tougher and more forgiving of bones and frozen food.
Will the blade rust?
It is high-carbon steel with rust resistance, but not stainless. Wash and dry it right after use and it should stay clean.
What is in the box?
The knife, a rubberwood sheath and a classic gift box. No sharpener is included.
What can I cut with it?
Vegetables, fruit, meat and general slicing and chopping. Avoid bones, frozen food and hard squash, which can chip the thin edge.
When is it cheapest?
The $32.00 eBay price as of November 5, 2026 is at the low end of its recent range. Watch for gift-season sales, when knife prices often dip.
