Beauty
If You’Re Looking For A Knife That Shows Off Classic And Traditional Japanese Knife Making Then You Can’T Go Wrong With This One.
Beauty Is Of Course Always Subjective But We Always Love Seeing A Quality Blade With A Lightly Polished Claddingfinish And The Dark Rosewood Oval Handles Are A Typical Pairing For This Type Of Knife.
In Hand
The Oval Wa Handle Is Comfortable And Easy To Grip And Again, For Such A Low Price Point We Thought The Subtle Rounding Of The Edges Along The Spine And Around The Heel Of The Knife Were Nicely Done And Made It Very Comfortable In Hand.
Durability
Blue #2 And Stainless Cladding Is A Great Combination For Making An Affordable And Durable Knife With Excellent Edge Retention And Durability.
Ease Of Care
It’S Pretty Easy To Look After These Knives, You Canlearn More About Carbon Steel Care Hereand Just Follow The Care Tips And This Is A Knife That’S Designed To Last Many Years.
We Would Recommend Periodically Treating It With A Little Camellia Oil And In The Event Of Rust Spots Forming On The Edge A Quick Pass With A Rust Eraser Is All You Need.
Our Verdict
Excellent Value For Money, A Classic Japanese Knife Crafted By Entirely By Hand And With A Durable Core Steel That Holds A Great Edge.
