Waited about a year before reviewing. I have several of the hammered line and find that this is one of the more useful. It is extremely light and agile. My go to for a lot of meat prep as it works well for trimming and boning. Also:my knife of choice for filleting smaller (~3 lb) fish. Great fit and finish. Really can’t beat this line of knives for aesthetics especially given the price.

This petty is a work of art. The fit and finish is a 10, as is the ootb sharpness.as most knives out of the Takefu Knife Village are. The blade itself has a hammered finish and the food release is excellent. The handle is beautiful just to look at. All in all a kknife that cuts amazingly well and you want to mount it and admire it daily!!!

This is my 2nd copy of this knife. 1st was a present that came with a nicer handle, but I'm leaning towards this one, as it's height is taller, and I'm starting to like the mini round handle feel. Pretty sharp put the box, but I'll probably give it a few swipes on a 3k since I'm OCD about sharpness. Smooth clean profile. Price is fair (especially because the fit and finish nice and smooth all around). I believe it's made by the new smith that took over, but the quality is still on par with the OG Anryu (bold statement)

I absolutely love this thing ! It's light in the hand; well balanced; sharp enough out of the box and cuts liked a charm.
Only drawback is the $37 usd international shipping cost, which is a lot compared to a knife worth $135 usd. Still worth it though.

Love the size of the knife, however, I had to refinish the blade. It arrived with 2 very distinguished nicks in the blade. Super frustrating to have to resharpen a brand new knife. Aside from that, I love it.
