Thanks for the review, Chem. I’m sure the recipient is going to be over joyed with such a beautiful knife. I know I would! The only downside I see is that it wasn’t ready to go OOB. It’s wonderful you took care of that, but shouldn’t have to.
I appreciate the details/specs and your post is timely for me as I’ve just started considering dipping my toes into the waters of Japanese knives ( I don’t think my KAI Pure Komachi’s count, but I really do love them! ).
Would you recommend this knife for a newbie?
