Takamura was the first maker to create a knife out of SG2 steel 60 years ago. Before it was popular, they began the journey of creating what is now a formidable blade. It is difficult to find a better stainless blade at this price. Fit and finish are exceptional, and the Laser grind is shocking as it falls through food. Edge retention is excellent with an HRC of ~63. Out of box sharpness is excellent. This is a solid value, a great looking knife and great performer at a great price!
