What Reviewers Say
Professional-quality knife at a consumer-friendly price. The blade holds its edge much longer than Western knives. Home cooks and professionals alike praise the balance and precision. The Seki City heritage adds authenticity. Note that checking baggage rules for shipping/flying with knives is important.
