Moritaka Ishime Ko-Kiritsuke 110mm

Exceeded expectations, sharp as hell, great to hold and use, FANTASTIC.

Handles well havent cut myself yet with it. Usually use it with my smaller cuts like brunoise and julienne. Usually were my chef knife is too thick to be precise. Getting used to caring for it but manage. Has become one of my go to knives. Handles well and feels good to work with.

A glorified paring knife, this knife is great for precise tasks on and
off the cutting board. Having the sharp tip right in line with the
blade makes poking and scoring easier and more direct. The brutish
finish is awesome, and is great for choking-up on the blade for even
more control. Note the handle is oval, not D-shaped like on the larger
knives.

The knives i ordered perform amaizngly and for that i am ecstatic but both knives that i received had come with rust spots. These can be detrimental and its absolutely awful that theyd escape the factory with them. I have since removed them myself and there is no further issue whatsoever. Rookie mistake. But in my kitchen a rookie mistake can cost lives which is why only 2 stars ( the blades themselves earn a 5, the -3 is for the smiths attention to detail)
