Despite being listed as a factory second, I honestly cannot see any imperfections on this Enso Hizashi 7" Bunka. It arrived light, incredibly nimble, and with true surgical sharpness right out of the box. It cuts effortlessly and holds its edge remarkably well. I’ve owned knives from major brands like Tojiro, Shun Premier, Miyabi Birchwood, and Zwilling Pro, but this one easily outcuts them all and feels the most solid and balanced in hand. Outstanding knife!

- RSRoss S.Verified BuyerReviewingEnso Hizashi 5.5" Prep Knife - Factory SecondI recommend this productHas Owned Product For 1 – 3 MonthsUses Product WeeklyRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoMy First Japanese Steel
After relying on 30 year old kitchen knives we decided to enter the 21st century with new knives. We've bought various knives from several brands. This was my first venture in Japanese steel. The knife was a "factory second" which had some kind of defect which I cannot find, which shows you I shouldn't be a quality control inspector. Nonetheless, for being a "factory second" the knife is razor sharp, very handy at the cutting board and has done everything I've wanted it to, knife-wise. The knife looks gorgeous and to me, is of great quality. This will not be the only Enso knife that will be showing up at my house.

I bought the Enso Hizashi 8” Chef’s Knife as a factory second, and honestly I’m extremely impressed. I was expecting to find some noticeable flaw, but it looks wonderful to me. More importantly, after actually using it, the blade is incredibly sharp and cuts beautifully. The knife feels very comfortable and balanced in my hand, and the handle feels great to use. Between the sharpness, feel, and overall appearance, I’m very happy with it. For a factory second, this was an excellent buy and I would absolutely purchase one again.
