Review: This knife is bonkers (that's a good thing) - Hair shaving sharp out-of-the-box (tested on my arm hair) Other knives I've purchased usually need some sharpening before using them. This is actually my second Yaxell, the first being my favorite paring knife (the Dragon). Pros: 1. Shape - extremely functional cutting shape makes it easy to cut (I do mostly pull/push cuts) 2. 61 HRC - Edge should last a while between sharpening 3. Cuts extremely well and most foods don't seem to stick to the side too much. 4. Tsuchime finish aesthetic 5. Demascus aesthetic 6. western handle for those who don't know how to use traditional style handles without breaking them 7. handle is a composite material so it's okay to get wet and easy to clean Cons: 1. (preference) western handle - I prefer the eastern style (wa-) handles and their blade weight 2. This knife is a little on the heavier side (mostly the handle) 3. Handle was a little uncomfortable at first, probably because of the taper near the choil. It's a bit thin and uncomfortable for a pinch grip, but you get used to it after a while. 4. Too shiny? The entire knife has a mirror polish and while I don't mind the aesthetic it's blinded me a few times in the kitchen when I was cleaning it under the kitchen lights. As a side note, I do generally like shiny but maybe more of a matte finish on the side with a mirror edge could be a cooler looking design. It might just be the lights in my kitchen though. Overall Recommendation If you don't mind the western style handle, slight weight, and mirror polish, buy this knife. This is an amazing knife for the price and is my #1 recommendation for a Japanese knife that you can buy on desertcart. Second only to my recommendation for a Japanese knife with wa-handle. Review: A piece of art. - Impressive finish, this will carve my Christmas turkey. Overall an excellent tool for my kitchen. ## Features - Crafted of premium Japanese VG10 37-layer stainless steel for excellent edge retention; features a stunning hammered (tsuchime) finish - Rockwell Hardness 61°; blades are hand-ground to approximately 12° - Double-bevel edge for both right and left-handed use; black canvas micarta handle with three stainless steel rivets and end cap - Blade Length: 8", Blade Height: 1.75", Overall Length: 13.37", Spine Thickness at Heel: 2mm, Weight: 8.5 oz.
