    Bought this to replace my MAC 6” filet knife for breaking down birds. The blade is stiff, but surprisingly thin for a honesuki and the tip feels delicate. Not something I want probing around near bones.

    Out of the box edge was probably the worst of any knife I’ve ever purchased, being downright blunt. After several sessions on the stones however it is now razor sharp. Unfortunately the lower heat treat means that it quickly loses its edge, like halfway through a case of chickens.

    Fit and finish are good. Looks to be some type of lacquer applied over the korouchi. Handle is outsized in comparison to the blade.

    Overall, I think that if this had been sold as a petty knife I would have been more satisfied than if it was billed as a honesuki. Borrowed a friends Fuji Narihara to process a case of chickens and it felt far more natural and sturdy. I wish I’d spent either more money on this knife or far less.

      To soon for a review but you asked

    I've only use the knife for poultry and for small work so far. It took a few sessions on the stones to get really sharp, but that is probably my foult, since I am just learning to sharpen.

    The knife feels great in my hand and it is easy to use on and of the cutting boards.

      Great for the Price

    For the price this knife is great. It was very sharp out of the box and does exactly what it's supposed to with ease. The choil was a bit rough, but not so much that it is bothersome - and at this price point you can't be too picky. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for a solid performing, low cost honesuki.

      Great value

    The handle on my knife is much nicer than the one in the video, and feels great. I love the character of the kurouchi finish. There is a slight warp in the spine of my blade, but the edge is perfectly straight, so it doesn't affect the performance. There was a high spot on the right bevel, but i was able to make it disappear with some time on my sharpening stones. I'm sure i will enjoy using this knife for years to come.

    I like this knife. I've used it for parting poultry, which is what I bought it for, and it really is a great tool for that job. The knife was pretty sharp out of the box, enough so that I have not taken it to a stone yet. The handle is lovely and attached properly. There are a couple minor, rough spots on the steel, namely rough ness on the choil and a tiny nick on the top ridge (mune). This is not unexpected in a hand made knife and minor enough that I feel no need to clean anything up. Typical, Japanese wabi-sabi. The 'black' treatment on the knife seems to wash off rather quick. No matter, if you wash and dry after use. It is beginning to patina nicely. It certainly is bargain priced and deserves a recommendation. I am quite happy with the purchase. Delivery was quick and the knife was well packed.

    I have been using this great little knife in a professional kitchen for a number of uses. It is a great poultry knife and an efficient petty knife as well! I have used it for small prep as well as butchery, in fact, it has prevented me from purchasing a petty! For 80$ there isn't anything close to negative to say about it. The kurouchi finish is very durable after 6 months of daily use and countless stone sessions, it has stood the test of time better than other kurouchi finishes I have worked with. The white
