Kanehide PS60 Wa Gyuto 210mm. This knife was a special request for us and we think it's going to dominate the market for a good, thin, wa handled knife at a lower price point. The quality is too good to resist. Hitachi makes this steel for the razor industry and has a dominant share of the market worldwide and is nearly identical to AEB-L.
Kanehide was able to increase the hardness to HRC 60-61 through special heat treating. They also increased the wear resistance by using a cryogenic treatment with liquid nitrogen at -180 degrees C. The sub-zero treating works to change retained austenite to martensite, as a result, it is effective not only to enhance the hardness but also the wear resistance.
The result is a fully stainless knife that sharpens extremely well and cuts great. It features a nice oak wood handle in an octagonal shape with a burnt finish design. Give it a try and we think you'll be as delighted with this knife as we are.Brand: Kanehide

I bought this knife at the beginning of the Coronavirus Pandemic as I was doing so much more home cooking. This knife is incredibly sharp, highly durable and easy to sharpen. My current knife collection consists of Shun Kansos and the Kanehide PS60 Gyuto 210mm is considerably sharper while also retaining it's edge longer. I feel like I was living under a rock, though I know each knife has their own use case. For an additional fee, CK2G added a custom octagonal handle that is beautiful. In short, it's my new baby. Great knife!

If you're in the market for a superior stainless knife, this is it. A real class above vg10, takes an extremely keen edge, takes punishment on the board very well, and looks & feels fantastic while doing so. The blade finish and polish is beautiful, and I found the handle to be fitted well & good quality. A true laser, good for pinch grip and easy to care for. Kind of annoyed I didn't get the version with the full custom handle!
