"Held its edge through three weeks of prep work. The grind is thinner than anything German I've owned — tomatoes basically fall apart out of fear."

"Gorgeous kurouchi finish, but know what you're buying: this is reactive carbon steel. Wipe it dry or watch it turn orange. Four stars, one towel."

"Asked The Forge which gyuto to buy first. Forty replies in an hour, zero snobbery. Bought this one. They were right."
