My first Japanese knife, I should've went with stainless steel but I decided to get the "true" Japanese experience getting a carbon steel with an iron cladding.
It isn't a laser but it gets the job done.
It's tedious to take care of but rewarding nonetheless. For $105 you get what you're paying for
