This is an excellent knife. Tall blade. The one I received has a blade height of 56.7mm. The spine at 3.9mm. The Kasumi finish is something to see, with a straight horizontal grain on the blade. It’s a hefty knife and cuts wonderfully. It can handle large vegetables and proteins easily. I’m extremely impressed with it. Another great addition to my Japanese kitchen knife collection. Worth every cent.
