This range of knives is one of my favourites for introducing people to Japanese knives, particularly in a commercial kitchen, where the European style handle and stainless steel blade are more familiar than some other knives. The VG-1 steel gives quality without breaking the bank, producing a light, slim bladed workhorse.
