This Santoku arrived from the manufacturer with cracks in the handle. The cracks are visible in all of the pictures.
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 a better finish and nicer handles. We think they're a big step up.
