This knife was used and returned. We have applied our sharpening service to this knife and are now offering it for sale at a discount.
Daovua has been hard at work building a factory so they can improve the quality of their blades. They've also decided to make a new line of knives with more classic Japanese shapes with flatter profiles, improved sharpness and upgraded steel. These knives are taking them longer to make with nicer handles. We think they're a big step up. Fit and finish on the cladding is still rustic with rough kurouchi finish that looks like it just came out of a charcoal fire.
