HANDMADE FORGING

With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.

DURABILITY

The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.

SHARPNESS

The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.

HANDLE

The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.

Still havnt received my order….. its been 20 days

This knife is superb and very, very sharp. The aogami blade is very beautiful, gives it a beautiful character. I have several high end knives that are more expensive than this one, but this became my favorite.

Great knife.

The knife looks like in the picture, beautifully made.
Unfortunately it came with the edge chipped, but it makes no big difference when cutting.
Out of the box sharpness is not very good, but after sharpening it cuts amazing.
Fit and finish are quite good.
The point of balance is on the heel of blade right after the handle. Comfortable for a pinch grip.
The knife is light.
Edge retention remains to be seen.
Overall, i recommend the knife.
