Great
Blade - extremely sharp straight out of the box. You can shave thin slices of tomato, peel a grape, etc - just a very nice edge. With an AUS-10 core, I'm pretty confident it will remain sharp for quite a while too. VG-10 would be my preference, but would also cost more than this. There is a very pronounced clip point, bordering on something like a spey point. I'm not really sure how I feel about that. I'm cooking at home, so I think I would prefer a more traditional drop point just for greater strength. But I bet this is better for fine work. I feel like I should go try to segment an orange or something.Handle - The brass arrived on mine unevenly tarnished. If I had to guess, the small runs and imperfections in the tight plastic wrapping on the handle maybe got some slight condensation in shipping, and ended up with uneven tarnish on the metal. No real damage, and the wood is unmarred. I could polish it out pretty easily, but it doesn't bother me enough to put in the effort.Construction - here I have some doubts. It's too light; I don't think there's a full tang in this. Looks like an adhesive join too. So it's maybe not going to be super durable, but for the 5" paring knife I got, that's not a huge problem. It would make me a little wary of getting any of the full-size chef knives though.Price - This has a $35 list price (for the 5" paring knife) at time of review. You can get a full tang 5" VG-10 or AUS-10 paring knife at a similar price point though, so it's probably worth shopping around a bit. I don't think this is a bad choice though. This is about the minimum you'll pay for something this size with a decent quality blade, and it's infinitely better than the paring knife I've been using.
Gave as a gift to my niece. I fell in love with it before I gave it to her. She also loved it. Absolutely beautiful. Display worthy 100%
Excellent knife
My husband wanted this Japanese knife. I had to learn more about a kiritsuke knife as it has a different blade shape and a longer blade (9") than most other knives I've seen. It's great for precise cutting, such as fish or sashimi. It's also excellent for cutting bigger vegetables. It's best used in a forward pushing motion rather than a chopping motion. Most of this knife's blade is one sided; professionals may have a two-sided blade. I tested the knife on day old submarine sandwich bread saved to feed our wild yard birds, to see how it handled a challenging texture. Oh yes, it's razor sharp, alright. It made impressive exacting cuts. It also did well with vegetables. It's well made and features a gorgeous rosewood and ebony wooden handle. I don't think the tang goes through the entire handle. The knife is perfectly balanced if you balance it where the blade meets the handle. We've added it to our arsenal of cooking knives used for different purposes. This could be a great gift for an avid cook, especially one who makes sushi. I hope this information helped you.
