A good starter knife for those who want to get acquainted with Japanese knives. It is easy to sharpen and is a great knife to learn how to sharpen on a whetstone.
Notes:
- After use, wash with warm water and a non-abrasive cloth or sponge and dish soap. Dry immediately and thoroughly.
- Never put this knife in the dishwasher! The high temperature will ruin the wood handle and may dull the blade!
- Avoid hard ingredients like nuts, bones, and frozen foods. They may chip the edge.
