very well made knife
By honda
I want to first start by saying how sharp this knife is. It also only needs to be sharpened on one side. This makes the knife effortless to maintain as its not as time consuming. This knife is made by hand and you can very well see that it is. I use this knife for fish after the cleaning process. You don't want to use this knife for cleaning unless your not worried about messing the knife up cutting bones. I absolutely will be buying more Yoshihiro Knifes.
