Light sharp and beautiful to use

Very nice and sharp. The price is alittle high but its a great quality knife. However some edges could of been ground smoother but a fantastic knife

Pros

With a hardness on the Rockwell scale of 63-64, the inner core of Blue High Carbon Steel #1 is prized for its high edge retention. It is sandwiched in between carbon steel in the traditional Warikomi style to add to its durability and ease sharpening. It takes a very high degree of skill to create knives of such exceptional performance and exquisite beauty with a steel of this caliber and is a testament to the extraordinary skill of the artisans.

Cons

The kiritsuke design, while unique and aesthetically pleasing, may not be the most practical choice for everyday kitchen use, particularly for users who are accustomed to traditional Western-style utility knives
