Yoshihiro Aogami Super Blue High Carbon Kurouchi Gyuto (8.25'' (210mm) & No Saya)

I really like the knife it keeps a nice edge and it very easy to sharpen ...i would buy it again

I purchased a knife from this vendor as an expensive Christmas gag gift for my wife, but primarily she needed a good knife for her kitchen. I was contacted and told the knife I wanted was on back order and would not be available for awhile. The vendor offered a different knife around the same price range that was readily available and wouldn't require the preventive maintenance this knife requires...I agreed to the substitute, specifically because of the maintenance requirements, and now the stainless knife I received is already showing corrosion (rust spots)....Do your research to make sure the $250.00 knife you purchase does not corrode within the first 3 months of use...**The knife is not used in a commercial capacity **

Very sharp

the first of all, the knife was way too thick as people would be expected for any average japanese knife(second pic as a compairson with my shun, third is a compairson as my wushof), it came with three spots of nasty scratches (first pic), I was accepting it, so i used the knife, and it was not sharp enough, so i used may shapton whet stone to sharp it. and it never reach the sharpness I am expecting for super blue steel. so I contact the seller, the refused to give me the full refund and want to charge me 50% of the fee, because i sharpend the knife. so I gave up the refund to tell people no to but their company's product.
