I love everything about this knife. The Birchwood handle is very smooth and comfortable to hold. The metal cap on the end and the red spacers and mosaic pin in the handle add a extra bit of elegance. The blade is super sharp. The high carbon steel stays sharp for a long time and is easy to maintain. The 101 layer Damascus design shows the true Japanese heritage and artistry considered when making this line. This is more evident in the watermarking by the blade, a tradition common to classic Katana blades.
I use this knife for EVERYTHING! I love that this knife is just the right length for so many tasks, like cutting apples, peeling and chopping garlic, and cutting herbs. The blade is so intricate and the handle gets more and more beautiful with use.
Super mid-size, razor-sharp knife. Japanese forged SG2 premium carbide steel wrapped 100 times in addition for long-lasting sharpness and unique Damascus pattern. Real birch wood handle as well.
This wonderful sized knife is perfect to grab for small jobs, and light prep work. Good knuckle clearance, strong blade shape and good width of blade. The G2 Steel is unbelievably strong and nick resistant. Stays sharp a really long time!
Perfect prep knife. The blade is made from an SG2 center core and surrounded by an additional 100 layers of steel. This knife is so sharp, you'll be in love with it. Handle is shaped in the traditional Japanese D shape and made from birchwood so each piece is unique. Thanks Mother Nature.
