Daovua has been hard at work building a factory so they can improve the quality of their blades. They've also decided to make a new line of knives with more classic Japanese shapes with flatter profiles, improved sharpness and upgraded steel. These knives are taking them longer to make with nicer handles. We think they're a big step up. Fit and finish on the cladding is still rustic with rough kurouchi finish that looks like it just came out of a charcoal fire. Expect ugly.

I ordered a factory second santoku for my culinary student who marveled at the performance of my short leaf spring cleaver. I also saw this gyuto and ordered it for myself.
Both blades are wonderful. The grinds are even. I own the cleaver and tall petty knives from Dao Vua. Both are scary sharp. Sure I put the work in, particularly thinning the secondary bevel. But for the price these blades are perfect in a professional setting.
I ordered both blades after service Friday night and they arrived in the mail today. I haven’t had a gyuto in my bag for a while. It’s Cassidy’s first carbon steel knife.
Couldn’t be happier. Thank you Mark.

I purchased this iteration along with the tall gyuto and neither were sharp out of the box as advertised.
I will still give both of them a 5 star rating because with just a few minutes on the stones and...presto! They take a great edge even with my mediocre skills and I find the geometry better than the leaf spring knives, but I do love the leaf spring knives for certain tasks.
