You will never knew the joys of having a good knife until you get a Japanese knife! I used to like the German “twin” but after using this, I am so impressed! The quality is brilliant and they are so sharp and fits nicely into my hand feeling very comfortable, light weight and the most important thing is cuts beautifully with everything! The seller is a Japanese chef, guess no one knows better than him about Japanese knives, he was helpful and patient to answer every question. I will definitely recommend to my friends and family.
