If you like double bevel Sujihiki, as I do, you will like this knife. The AS steel sharpness and the distinctive hand chiseled kanji on nashiji skin with hammon line are worth waiting for. The knife draws smoothly.

Great knife, very light, very stiff, and good F&F. Aogami super steel can be very easily made scary sharp. Thanks Mark for the recommendation. The primary bevel is a little bit sticks to some foods, but a simple polish job fixes that.
