This is a really good looking knife. I am glad I went with the Japanese handle (wa) over the standard. One of my favorites. Very sharp out of the box.

Great knife! This is my first Japanese knife,and I’m really happy with it. It’s nice and sharp right out of the box and slices beautifully. Fit and finish seem quite good to my untrained eye—it’s a beautiful blade. It also comes in a very nice presentation box.
The D-handle is designed for right-handed users,but my left-handed wife has no trouble using it.
