The Harukaze VG1 Gyuto 210mm offers a good performing steel in terms of toughness and overall feel. Of course, this is a very easy steel to maintain in terms of corrosion and rust prevention since it's fully stainless.
You'll be surprised by the outstanding out-of-the-box edge on this very well-made gyuto. It has good balance and a light feel, as well as an almost laser-like flat grind that is thin behind the edge. The knife is a true laser with the spine measuring 2mm.
The overall fit and finish are of a high standard. It has a simple but very nicely executed rosewood handle with a maple ferrule in a comfortable oval shape.
Please note this knife has a gapped machi on the handle install. Check the photos. It's not a mistake, and it's called Tokyo style.Construction: Laser Cut, Mono Steel
