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.
Be prepared to be surprised by the outstanding out-of-the-box edge on this very well-made gyuto. It has nice balance and light feel. It has an almost laser-like flat grind. The knife is a true laser with spine measuring 2mm. The grind is nice and thin behind the edge.
The overall fit and finish are of a high standard. It has a simple but very nicely executed rosewood handle with maple ferrule in a comfortable oval shape.
Please note this knife has a nice, 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
