Amazing knife , April 26, 2022
Good small workhorse, October 14, 2021Posted By: John Tucker
This knife is very rarely put away in my knife drawer. It sits on my kitchen island pretty much 24/7 and is used for all variety tasks...including boxes from Amazon. (Sorry). Kitchen duty wise, this is now my go-to for avocados, mushrooms, small tomatoes and any kind of smaller-sized goods. It's not to bad at boning a chicken...not as good as my Honesukis...but really quite good. Fit and finish is appropriate to the price. Not bad. Not amazing. I really beat this little knife up and all I've had to do is lightly sharpen it a couple times in the year or so I've owned it. Holds an edge great and highly recommended.

Edge towards the heel wasn't flat, a bit of a pain to sharpen. But overall nice for the price., August 4, 2021Posted By: Ryan Barrett

I got this as a gift for my brother. OOTB sharpness was pretty good, however, the knife arrived with a noticeable gap in the edge towards the heel. It wasn't too bad since it was easy to fix on a coarser grit stone. But after that, the knife was a pain to sharpen.
Every time I got to a finer stone, the edge would just get tiny chips throughout instead of developing a burr. I had to sharpen at a higher angle than normal to get it to not chip and spent more time stropping than normal to get a good edge on it. It has a nice edge now but it's not perfect, we'll see how it holds up over time.
Fit and finish is nice however at this price rance I think my Kajiwara Blue #2 Ko Bocho is all around much better.

Sleeper blade. , March 5, 2019Posted By: John Morningstar
It isn't the prettiest. It doesn't have a wonderful handle. It's rough around the edges.
BUT...
Everything before the but doesn't matter. This knife takes a beautiful edge. It's light, precise, and flickable. The handle and rough edges can be smoothed out with elbow grease. A little acid treatment brings out a wonderful bronze patina that protects the blade. Simply put, this knife is a bargain gem because all of the value has been put into the steel... it takes and holds an exceptional edge.
