I was looking for a small japanese knife after investing in a $$$ suishi knife a numbers of yrs ago. My thought being that a good knife which is made from japanese steel will last you a life time. Anyway Id stumbled across this one on Amazon .. and brought it after all the reviews. I can say that I was not disappointed at all as the knife is of excellent quality. Being made from VG10 steel..it is sharp from the factory and is now really sharp (shaving sharp) after I'd put it through a Tormek ! Though of you who dont know what a Tormek is .. just look it up in YouTube.Anyway..I have today also ordered the longer blade knife and am looking forward to it arriving too. Delivery from Japan is fast so just order your today ! Ihhovisi elibonakalayo yinsizakalo enikeza ikheli lokuposa kanye nezinsizakalo zokwamukela ngocingo. Inkampani esebenzisa i service ayihlali ehhovisi ngokomzimba. Ngokuvamile izinkampani eziningana zisebenzisa ikheli lehhovisi elibonakalayo. Ngenxa yalokhu, le nsiza inikeza ukonga okukhulu ngesikhala samahhovisi wendabuko nezindleko zokwamukela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu abaningi basebenzisa lokhu kusetha kobumfihlo bezezimali. Okusho ukuthi, ngakho-ke izimpahla ezigcinwe kwinhlangano noma ku-LLC aziboshelwe ekhelini lomnikazi, isikhulu noma umqondisi.
