Very attractive knife. Big improvement on the leaf spring series in terms of overall fit and finish (I own a leaf spring gyuto that cuts great, but proved to be too reactive for the conditions I work in). More sanding required to round the spine and other contact surfaces, but otherwise good-to-go out of the box. I got it slightly sharper with a Rika 5000, and it's held a good edge through three weeks of daily use. Surprisingly stain resistant--no patina as of this moment. Dao Vuo exceeds expectations again.
