[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this knife because of the precise cuts it yields. I’m going from a German knife to a Japanese knife and it just takes some getting used to for me to be comfortable with the thin blade.
This is the ultimate prep knife. The size sits right between the paring and chefs knife. The handle is offset so it is useful in hand as well as on the cutting board. It is perfect for herb and vegetable prep. The blade goes through a double hardening process making a very strong sharp blade. The blade holds an edge for a long time and is easy to maintain. The Japanese craftsmanship is evident here all the way down to the Honbazuke sharpening method used and the Katana style watermarking along the blade edge. The Western style handle is very comfortable to hold.
This is a nice knife to add to a collection. Even if you do not use the full Evolution line, having a small utility knife, with an Asian blade, strong steel with a narrow angle, is useful in any kitchen.
