Review: Good quality - looks great - Nice quality knife. I find this to be a bit blade heavy, and at first it felt strange in my hand, but perhaps that’s because I’m coming from three different shun Kiritsuke knives. This is a very nice blade and it seems to hold an edge. It is very smooth, so for vegetables they tend to trap. But it makes great precision cuts.
Review: Great knife for the price - Great knife. Sharp straight out of the box. I may be a Japanese knife convert. I've used German knives, exclusively, in my career as a chef (been a Henckles fan for 20 years) but recently wanted to get a few Japanese knives and compare them. I am not disappointed in this knife at all. Not super expensive, looks good, handles well, lightweight, handle feels good in my hand, holds an edge well. I made every one of my cooks try it out on day one and I'm pretty sure a couple of them will be buying one for themselves.
