A few weeks ago I purchased a Shiro Kamo 210 mm gyuto. It was love at first slice! I also added the finish sharpening service. I’ve never experienced anything nearly as sharp or pleasurable to use. Is this the honeymoon period? Will it never be this sharp again? I’m committed to advancing my sharpening skills but you’ve raised the bar too high.
Shiro Kamo is an artist and craftsman to be admired. I am fortunate to own such a fine example of his talents. The appearance, dimensions, fit and finish suit me perfectly.
