Yes. A honing steel such as the Opinel 10-inch honing rod (B08CCFK55Z) realigns the edge between sharpenings – hone regularly for best performance.

Thin slices of potato and cucumber release cleanly instead of sticking to the blade. The full tang gives it a confident, balanced feel. Great everyday knife at half the price of bigger brands.
Sharp, light, comfortable. My new go-to for veggie prep.
I've been using this for chopping, slicing, and mincing almost every day for five months. The 12C27 steel holds an edge better than I expected at this price, just needs a quick hone weekly. The granton dimples genuinely reduce sticking with wet vegetables. Handle could be a touch more grippy when oily, so four stars, but overall a very satisfied buyer.
I'm in my sixties and arthritis makes heavy German knives painful over a long prep session. This santoku is light but still feels solid thanks to the full tang. The wide blade scoops diced onions straight into the pan, a small thing I now can't live without. Sharp out of the box and easy to touch up.
Performance was strong for several months, smooth cuts and easy maintenance. Then I hit a small pit in an avocado and a tiny chip formed in the edge. It sharpened out, but 12C27 seems a bit softer than I hoped. Still usable and decent for the money.
Coming from a much more expensive santoku I was skeptical, but this handles 90% of the same tasks admirably. Full tang construction and the blade grind are genuinely well done. The handle is a bit plasticky compared to wood, though hygienic and easy to clean. At the discount it's an easy recommendation for anyone building a first real knife kit.
