I recently purchased this knife from Massdrop and got it yesterday. It is a beautiful looking knife, very thin bladestock and feels very properly balanced in the hand. The san-mai style blade just looks excellent and it shows off as a shining gem in my kitchen. I enjoy VG10, as it takes one heck of an edge and keeps it for a reasonable amount of time. I will update after using the knife a bit more.
wekarneskyIt's still one of my favorite kitchen knives. Food doesn't stick to it, it's lightweight yet well made. It's a beautiful knife in every single way. I did try to sharpen it on my KME and had some difficulty. I tried sharpening it on a 1x42 belt grinder and it came out reasonably well. I can't seem to get any toothiness to the edge for whatever reason. I almost feel as if the soft steel of the san mai has almost dipped down to where the edge is, I could be completely wrong. I may have to give it one last sharpening go on my Wicked Edge 130 to see if I can get the edge that I'd like to have on it.
