    Japanese knife

    Hello, when you buy an expensive Japanese knife, you get the impression that you're buying an endangered know-how:

    You think of a septuagenarian blacksmith with a white beard working alone in the sooty atmosphere of his     forge... the holder of an age-old tradition.

    Unfortunately, this knife has never seen the hand or hammer of a blacksmith. It's a purely industrial product made from powder agglomerates compacted and hammered by machines on a production line.

    Even the sharpening is done in an electrolytic bath... you can see it on the blade.

    I strongly advise against buying this product. Miyabi is better in the same price range.

    • Overall impression of artificiality

    Excellent knife

    I did not realize before that slicing and cutting can be so fascinating and breathtaking. I feel no resistance when hard vegetables like carrot or beetroot are sliced with this knife. It is so cool that I just can not stop cutting.
    I have never had such an experience with a knife. I love it!

    Super knife

    Beautiful workmanship and attractive design (well, the cow on the back of the pommel would not necessarily be). The knife is very good in the hand and also keeps what it promises when it comes to cutting.

    Pro

    • Good blade
    • Lies well in the hand
    • High quality workmanship
