Awesome Blade!, July 17, 2024Posted By: Miguel Merino

For the price you can’t beat it. It glides and cuts thru food with ease. Super comfortable on the hand with 54mm of height on the blade. This is my “at home knife” wife loves it too. I re-profiled the edge to a convex edge when I got it brand new and i haven’t touched it since aside from 4k maintenance passes everything other month. I recommended this knife to my cooks who want to transition from their culinary kit knife to something more serious. With this blade height and steal type it’s a great knife to learn how to sharpen on.
Out the box it needs help, if you’re not experienced sharpener I do recommend getting the sharpening service on it from CKTG.

Great blade here. Really appreciate how thin (2.0mm) the profile is for how tall the blade is. Zero fear of this being brittle, it handles anything with ease. Even squashes and any hard and sketchy things that would make you think twice about using an elegant hand forged knife. This is one of my everyday, everywhere Hapanese knives.

These blades from Ogata-San are totally perfect, and absolutely built for the pro environment. Horizontal grind marks to hide those towel scratches. Stupidly thin at and behind the edge. All stainless with excellently treated sg2. This steel can handle an 8k edge and still feel toothy. 54 mm of height and a wide belly make ingredient transfer very easy. The more I use it, the more I love it. This one’s a sleeper. F&F is also really good, although I did do some minor sanding of the spine and choil, but I’m Kinda anal about it. For under $250 it is a freakin STEAL! Don’t sleep on it!
