Enso Hand-Forged Aogami Super 8.25" Gyuto with Saya

Hands down the best knife that I've ever owned. Perfectly balanced and cuts like a dream. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to step up their kitchen game.

I'm always a little nervous using steel this hard. The fact that this is also carbon steel that can rust makes me even more nervous. This will be the only knife with Aogami super steel that I will own, and if it wasn't for the stainless steel cladding I wouldn't have bought this product either. Also, this knife definitely could've been a lot sharper out of the box. I was really surprised how it kinda smashed the first tomato that I attempted to cut. So, why in the heck am I giving this knife 5 stars? 1st -I've had no issues with chipping or torquing, I even got away with a very careful and gentle rock chop. 2nd- No issues with rust either, due in part to occasinal wiping and the stainless cladding. 3rd- After running this knife over a 3000 and then an 8000 grit whetstone the blade sprang to life and cut through those very same tomatoes with ease. 4th- and most importantly (in my opinion anyways) is how great this hand-forged laser felt in my hand. The ergonomics on this Enso are second to none as far as the 9+ inch Gyuto category is concerned. It's also light and nimble to boot. Holding this knife is pure pleasure. So, All in all. 5 stars . BARELY.

I was able to grab this during the Enso sales event, and for the price, it really is an outstanding knife. It was incredibly sharp out of the box, the fit and finish are excellent, and the matching saya is a very nice touch.

Excellent description, fast shipping knife is absolutely perfect, also picked up appropriate oil to preserve the beauty and prevent any rust. Solid vendor A+++

Well worth the purchase
