Very thin edge. Sharpness is 8/10. Good cutter
I could not be happier. The handle is beautiful and fits the knife perfectly. I don't normally upgrade handles, but this really elevates the knife -- its' functional and looks great, too.
The handle is definitely one of a kind and it feels grate in the hand and it is beautiful on my Swedish still masamoto ks
A little expensive, but isn’t everything(are tariffs involved?)
beautiful handle and expertly installed. thanks!
Nice handle. Beautiful aromatic wood with nice grain. Will look great on my knife. Very well made.
decided to upgrade the handle on my 210 gyuto. Tony was friendly and helpful in answering my questions and easing my anxieties. re-handling was lighting quick - probably a day or two - and i absolutely loved my newly re-handled knife. this was my first custom wa handle -- and i already know it won't be my last. thanks again Tokushi Knife!
