Very Sharp! Very Nice. It handles well. I also like the weight of the knife. It's not too heavy. This is my first Japanese chef knife and it won'y be my last. I also purchased the Miyabi knife sharpener and that does magic too! I also recommend to go into an actual store and try it for yourself before you buy any knife, especially how it feels in your hands.
This is the 4th knife I’ve used as a private chef. I travel to different areas with the client and don’t won’t to check my knife bag. This is my all time favorite chefs knife, light and sharp!
Beautiful look and handling. Sharp and keeps it's edge. Not too hard that it chips like crazy. It's a great home knife. Would've liked this knife in other handle options
