An amazing value for what you get!

Actual Japanese blue steel for a fraction
Sure the handle wasn’t finished and the bolster isn’t metal but the actual blade full tang is legit Japanese blue powder steel and is a work horse of a blade coming from an executive chef of 10 years,

An amazing value for what you get!

this knife has been wonderful and it gives me a project to finish the finish of the walnut handle as well
Absolutely love it and highly recommend to any chef or home cook looking into Japanese chef knifes for their first chef knife.

Insane edge.

Amazing knife for the price, It's actually my first blue steel knife, My only other knife is a wusthof, took 20 mins to sharpen this baby, and I could cut boneless meat with a single stroke, vegetables effortlessly, and I actually cut the skin above my pointer finger simply by flipping the knife over so I can brush the food off my cutting board without dulling the edge, so definitely be careful.

Insane edge.

The only one complain I have is that the top part of the steel isn't as rounded off as I would like, so I hurts after prepping for 2 hours with a pinch grip, but a good 5 mins with some 800/4000/16000 sandpaper solves that issue, the other thing I have issue with is the patina, and holy mama mia that reaction is super quick, you'll start seeing yellow looking stains while cutting so keep a towel handy but since this is my first blue steel japan knife, I could just be overreacting.

This knife is sharp

I am no expert in this area and I've never owned any gyuto knife or anything fancy. Most knives I've owned was bought from wal mart or target but they get dull quickly and don't cut veggies well, even with sharpening kit. This time, I've decided to splurge on this one and ordered whetstone sharpening as well. Even without doing any sharpening, it is already super sharp right out of the box and had no trouble chopping onion, peppers, and garlics with ease, like cutting through the air. Going from walmart bought knife to this one is massive difference. It makes my cooking experience more pleasant and easier.
