Beautiful fit and finish, well balanced in the hand and visually striking cladding interface.
Classy laser that doesn’t immediately rust if you don’t wipe it within 5 seconds.
Hardness is comparable to Aogami steel so should hold a decent edge for a while.
Wide belly makes transferring small items easier (like a thin cleaver)
Profile is very thin meaning it glides through food. No wedging.
Out of box sharpness is good, touched up on a polishing stone would be hairsplitting sharp.
