This Zakuri 210mm Aogami Super Kurouchi Gyuto is a truly unique knife. The handles have a good size. With better balance. Also matches the blade. The blade have a robust shape. This is a knife just begging to get some serious use. The Aogami Super edge takes a very sharp edge and holds it for quite some time. Aogami Super is, in my opinion, the best balance of sharpness and edge holding in a high carbon steel today. This knife is not stainless will patina with use. If not cared for properly, it may rust. The kurouchi finish on this blade, however, partially protects the sides of the blade from rust.`
