Carbon steel is the workhorse of the knife industry. In use for nearly a millennia it holds a super sharp edge and is easy to sharpen. These single steel blades are tough and sharp, with an edge geometry that is like a faster, thinner version of its European counterparts. Light and easy to sharpen, our Carbon Steel series takes a very keen edge due to the fine grain structure of the steel.

Fantastic knife, takes an edge very easily. Only issue is that the edge came ground something like 80/20 instead of 50/50. No big deal, but I did have to buy a sharpening system to put it where it was described to be, as I'm not confident enough with a stone to fix that freehand. Now dead simple to touch up the edge when it goes dull, which takes a while.
Buy a saya or a cloth roll, otherwise the beautiful tip will quickly become a memory when you bump it against anything hard.
as always an extremely well crafted blade that lives up to the name, I do wish the blade had a little more clearance for larger size hands.
Not satisfied with my knife at all, the blade got stained the same day I started using it, poor quality it feels wrong what I paid for it.
I only buy kikuichi. They are the best of the best.
Kikuichi is always very high quality and well priced.
