Knife is beautiful

Knife is very pretty with dark patterns that make you feel good looking at the knife. It cuts very well because of its thin build.

Both Beauty and Utility

Very well made Chef knife. It is very well balanced and comfortable to use. Blade is sharp and thin which I prefer to make more accurate cuts. I highly recommend this knife for someone who is passionate about cooking.

Better than Western Without the Hassle

Everything you would expect out of a chef’s knife with utmost attention to detail. The D-shaped handle fits comfortably even for use with my left hand. While razor sharp and thin behind the edge I don’t find it nearly as prone to chips as other similarly priced Gyutohs.
