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.

The first thing I noticed when I picked up this knife was how great the handle was - nice tight install with no gaps around the tang and a very smooth transition from ferrule to handle. The wood is also nicely finished and smooth. I purchased this knife for board work with small ingredients, and was able to fly through shallot and garlic right out of the box. Reactivity is not bad at all - while I did start to form a patina from my first session, there was no discoloration of the ingredients or funky smell like there are with some other reactive blades. All in all a great value knife.

I bought this one for poultry parting and it works just fine. I have found I have to sharpen it more often than my other Japanese knives but it works great. I find the traditional honesuki at 150mm or 6 inches to be a bit too long for my taste and work skill. The Yamashin is perfect in length and shape, a unique knife in purpose for the job of chicken.

I really enjoy the profile of this knife. Basically a mini gyuto and perfect for those with larger hands who need finger clearance. Like an overfed paring knife. This can chop and slice nicely as well as do in-hand work. The handle is pleasant to hold on to. The blade sharpens well but the original grind on it was not done perfectly. The edge wasn't ground all the way to the tip, necessitating a little bit of work on the stone.

Its a good knife, theres no doubt of that, its certainly not perfect (especially the edge out of the box) but its nothing a little time on the stones can't fix. Considering the price, this is a great little knife not to mention the fact that it looks amazing.

This is an outstanding little knife, and my go to small knife in a professional and home setting. The steel takes an amazing edge and is very easy to sharpen, it has surprisingly good edge retention as well. The grind is perfect and thin behind the edge. The added height makes it great for small board work. The lacquer finish was a bit rough but after two months is about 50% gone and much better. I did not sand or mess with it and at this point it looks great. These handles are extremely nice for this price range as well. If you are looking for a great petty knife that will also end up your go-to for tasks like mincing garlic and shallots this is it. Excellent service and product! Thanks.
