## Description

-

Review: Perfect vegatable chopper - Shipped quickly from Japan. Great price and a really nice, wicked-sharp knife; a good price for a very good branded knife.
Review: ... in a Marriott Residence Inn hotel and as I like to cook - I ordered this knife cause I lived for more than 8 months in a Marriott Residence Inn hotel and as I like to cook, I started getting crazy with the junk, they provide as knives. I also ordered the 210mm blade version and used both now for a while. I really like the design and the quality. Of cause there are even better knives on the market, but for more $$. I could still cut a tomato by just pulling the knife by 2 fingers after > 6weeks of usage with vegetables and some meet. To me the price/performance ratio is great. I just sharpened it after coming back home on a water stone and it just took a few strikes and it's razor-blade sharp in both directions again. I recommend this knife. For the $$ you paid, you get a good knife that will satisfy every private cook. Just don't forget to maintain it with proper manual sharpening on stones in a 15°-17° angle.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with some kind of sheath**
A: No sheath but it does come in a nice case

**Q: What is the meterial of damacus and hrc of kinfe? Vg 10?**
A: The seller message meant it's VG-10. VG-10 means V Gold 10 and sometimes in Japanese V金10号 literally - V, Gold, number 10. No idea why it's not explicitly listed. Any knife close to or above $100 should have steel and HRC listed.

**Q: Does it include a case?**
A: It comes in a typical Japanese cardboard case.

**Q: which wet stone do you recommend for this knife?**
A: I have a King made for Taidea, King Two Sided Sharpening Stone with Base - #1000 & #6000. Is very good for that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value
*by J***Q on July 22, 2023*

This is basically a Shun at a 1/3 of the price. It’s almost identical to the classic series and the same parent brand. I have quite a few very high end knives including customs. This is easily the best value I’ve seen. It was a accident I even ordered it. I was just looking at it and the app makes it easy to add to cart. My wife assumed if it was in the cart I wanted it. I’m glad she did.
