Any great knives requires interval maintenance.
Such as whetstones and careful using technique.
With this price point , this is the one felt in love with.
Only possible with Japanese authentic factory can achieves high value and long lasting ownership,as long as you must take care. I highly recommend over other tired famous brands who are overrated and ridiculous over price. Get them while still there In Greece.

In less than 3 months, it already started showing signs of wear, despite being used exclusively for vegetables and meat (never bones), always on top of wood. It no longer passes the test with the page. With a sharpening stone, it will come back, but for this price, it is not justified that it doesn't hold at all.

This knife could easily exist in surgery for castration. It is unbelievably sharp, precise, and stable in its cutting. It requires GREAT caution because if it catches a finger, it will take whatever it catches with it. Forget about simple cuts with little knives that caused a sting and a little blood. This knife will "contribute" to your diet with quick procedures.
Devilish marketing that has even included a band-aid in the packaging!

I thought I had sharp knives in my kitchen that cut very well, until the Japanese one came and I never used my old knives again. It is extremely sharp and requires great attention. It is suitable for all kitchens. Time will show its quality.
