I just did a review on the 8 in. version of this knife, and thought I would do one on this one as well.All I can say is WOW! I am a sushi chef that has used many knives, and the Kasumi line of knives is a very strong line of knives. (No pun intended)I first bought the 8 in knife, looking for a new roll cutting knife (which it's the best decision I've made in knife buying), which led me to look and then purchase this one.Personally, the combo of the 8 in. and this 10 in. is the best duo I've used standing behind the bar. This knife was exactly what I was looking for.The 8 in. for rolls, and this one for just about everything else (not prepping but in the heat of things).It's well balanced, feels good in my hand, beautiful, and retains a great edge (60 Rockwell Hardness rating).Excellent Knife!

Exactly what I was looking for.It's not a Hattori but then it doesn't have Hattori pricing.There is so much choice when it comes to Japanese knives but if you need a carving type I'm not sure how you could go wrong with this one.
