The Best Knives: my feedback

I use these knives for sushi parties at home. They are excellent! Check out how they are made on YouTube. May be Too Sharp: The blade's sharpness may cause accidental cuts or injuries, especially for inexperienced users or those working in a fast-paced kitchen environment.

Pros

Kurouchi translates as "Black-Forged" and this unique style of forging offers a characteristic look and an unpolished rustic aesthetic finish to the blade. With a HRC of 62-63, the core of Blue Steel #2 is prized for its high edge retention and provides an extremely sharp edge that is able to maintain its sharpness over extended period of time. The Kurouchi Stainless Cladding allows the blade to be more forgiving to moisture while still having superior edge retention and sharpness intact.

Cons

May be Too Sharp: The blade's sharpness may cause accidental cuts or injuries, especially for inexperienced users or those working in a fast-paced kitchen environment
