This is the second Okada knife I purchased from CKTG. The first is the Okada Damascus 210 mm Gyuto. Love the knife. What sold me on this knife is its backbone, literally. The knife I received has a spine thickness of 4.7 MM! This will be one of my workhorse knives. Great knife. Beautifully crafted with the amazing finish on the blade. Cuts so nice. I’m now waiting for the 165mm Funayuki to be back in stock. Great line of knives. Thx as always to CKTG for the great customer service and fast delivery. Extremely pleased.
