Great Affordable Knife

This was my first proper Japanese knife. It's the least expensive one I own, but probably the most fun to use. It's very thin behind the edge, and gets scary sharp, so it's really satisfying to use. Easy to sharpen and not terribly reactive steel, I really like blue #2. My only regret is not getting the custom handle upgrade. A knife this nice deserves a better handle.
