Perhaps you seen the commercials or seen it on youtube. It’s the miraculous Yoshiblade! I must say if it has my name, it must be something else. So you know what? I had to buy one. I ordered it back in January for around 30 bucks. I receive 2 sets of blades and peelers. I gave one to my mom. Actually I haven’t asked her what she thought of it, and she hasn’t complained, so either she’s not using it because it sucks, forgot all about it, or it’s working great. You choose.

First of all, it took forever for it to arrive. After about 3 weeks, I received an email that said my order was back-ordered and there was no date of shipment. Luckily, the Yoshiblade did arrive about a couple weeks later. I’m sure that wasn’t a common occurance.

As for slicing and dicing, the knife is very sharp. It comes with a cover which is good, since most people (like me) like to keep their knives in a drawer. Of course, if I like a knife, then I store it carefully in another location such as a knife box or sleeve. But back to the Yoshiblade.

I love it so far. I’ve been using it for a couple months now, and I haven’t had any issues. I admit, however, the blade is a slicing blade. Don’t expect to do any big chopping with it. It’s not very heavy and is actually quite light. The handle is very nice. You can grip it and not worry about slipping, since it’s one of those grip feels similar to rubber and it’s feel.

Overall, I’d say it was a pretty good investment. The only thing I can say about it is the typical “As seen on TV” warnings of this: it might cost 19.99 but shipping and handling costs just as much if not more. Video after the bump.
