Can this knife be used primarily for sushi/sashimi?

I'm not the chef in the family, but they say yes, absolutely. It is light, thin, and razor sharp.

it depends on the weight of the knife. I would think that a light knife would be okay, but a heavy one would not work.

I bought this knife primarily to serve as an firearms retention item. It will do that well. As a primary self defense weapon the tip may be a bit thin. Hope this helps.

Hi Corgi, it would totally be suitable. Just a reminder that this knife is HUGE! The blade is 10". And it is so sharp that is dangerous, but it works wonderful. I bake my own bread and needed a bigger knife i thought. However I think it is wonderful and I love it. At the moment Im looking for a sheath cause you cannot touch it accidentally , it is that sharp. Also carved a pork butt with it the other day. Works like a dream.

Get a tomato knife and another chefs knife, or a Santoku if you prefer a flat blade. I prefer a chefs knife and wish I had gotten a second one instead of the Santoku.

I cannot answer that as I have not tried it - but I will and let you know. Just a note, this is a WICKED knife that can handle jobs WAY out of proportion to it's price tag and size. I would not let the float/not float issue deter you from buying.

If its fresh bamboo, probably. But mind you, it's not Tamahagane steel. And I don't feel that it would cut clean through a tameshigiri. It's ok for the price though.最高の幸運&#65281;

Yes! I have 2 santoku knives, one small and one large, plus a 10" break knife and could easily add 2 more knives.

yes. I would suggest, however, spending more money on a better set of knives. knives will be with you for the rest of your life if you take care of them. Ginsu knives as advertised on Amazon are a low quality knifes. so don't make my mistake!!!

Personally i don't think this knife is meant to be taken into salt water. You probably could, but i think there are better options out there.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that type of knife and I don't want to give you bad information.

Yeah, you can use short grain rice for sushi. It's stickier than long grain rice.

You Could depending on your Knives. I don't think it would be the Safest Idea.

Other reviewers had said that it can be used for Shun knives; I don't know.

Possibly, but unlikely. I use mine as a key chain, so I doubt it would for me. The knife is pretty substantial on it's own.

No. It is only for knives with reasonably thin blades--like kitchen knives.

Chinese style knives (cleavers) come in two blade profiles. This one is meant to be used as a slicing/paring knife. The steel is good and you probably wouldn't have a problem. But you would be better off with a western style carbon steel cleaver that had a thicker blade (for momentum and shock resistance) and easier sharpening. The shun blades wear really well but they take a while to hone/sharpen, and you don't want to nick one.
