Fantastic Knife

This is my second purchase from Hasu-Seizo and the quality between the two has been consistently very very good. The blade is, and based on my experience with my other knife, will stay razor sharp after plenty of regular usage. It feels well balanced and comfortable to use and is more or less the only knife I reach for when cooking. An absolute pleasure

Got this knife about a year ago and it’s still as amazing as the day I got it. Holds a very sharp edge, the handle is in great shape and quality of the make is superb.
Feel it’s important to note that I take proper care of my knives, only hand washing them, storing them in there sheath when not in use, and wiping the knife dry/clean of anything that could cause corrosion.
I recommend highly to anyone looking for a great all around knife in the kitchen.

Beautiful knife. Will fit in nicely in our kitchen!

Saw varients of this knife all over the web - but was a bit of a hide-and-go-seek to find it with the Wa handle in the rich walnut handle. (saw western handles, and light cherry -- but i was dead-set on the walnut!)

Quickly shipped, and extremely good communication thru-out!
