Truly a great lineup of knives. Overall thin, wouldn't consider it as much of a laser as say a Takamura but this definitely leans far more towards the laser category. I find it a good compromise between semi-laser yet durable so far. Has a small convex grind to help with food release. I wouldn't say it's the best but it's better than average on release in my experience.
Handle is gorgeous, the wenge wood grain really stands out in person. Fit and finish was good, enough rounding on the choil and spine to be comfortable but nothing crazy. Handle was sealed well, blade is straight, cuts damn well, and Ginsan is very easy to maintain. Not sure what else to add! If you want a stainless blade that looks good and gets you pretty close to a laser without chipping concerns, this lineup is well suited.
