Nigara Hamono Damascus Anmon Gyuto 195 mm

The blade has small chips in the edge which i can sharpen out but the tip chipped without being dropped. It's a great knife with the exception that it isn't durable enough for the rigors of a professional kitchen. I have over 30 years of knife experience and have a great deal of high end Japanese knives that have held up for more than a week or so without damage (2 for 5 plus years of heavy use). I would highly recommend to anyone with a less demanding work load as the knife is gorgeous and feels great in the hand.

Great gift for a couple getting married!

Beautiful to look at - incredible craftsmanship Balance is perfect Blade is razor sharp and has stayed that way Reading about the legacy of the maker was enlightening, and makes me appreciate this hand made knife even more So happy with my purchase
