Tremendous value (2/29/2020)
Tremendous value here. I was expecting to need to thin the knife, but it was ground absolutely perfectly. To be honest it's ground better than any totally handmade $300 knife I've ever bought. The fit and finish is as good as any Zwilling or Wusthof with wood scales on the handle; which is to say a 9/10, since wood expands and shrinks and metal doesn't, so there are always a few high or low spots. I sanded them with some 400 grit paper, but this is not necessary in the slightest.
I think this line from Ohishi strikes the absolutely perfect balance in a western handled, stainless Japanese knife. Great ergonomics, good blade profile, steel that isn't chippy, stamped kanji that won't wear off like a screen printed or laser etched logo, San mai construction so it looks Japanese and will be easier to thin behind the edge when the time comes.
Topping it all off, at this price it's just a smoking deal. I bought three knives as a gift set for what one Misono or Wusthof Grand Prix would cost. They were all consistently constructed, so I wouldn't worry about getting a dud.
