Ohishi produces very fine and well-made chef's knives. The knives have good weight and excellent balance. Additionally, they are very affordable and arrive razor-sharp.

The blade is made of the very popular and high-performance VG10 steel. Around the core steel are 17 layers of softer steel, creating a beautiful Damascus pattern. The upper part of the blade has been hammered and polished to a semi-gloss finish.

Black and brown pakka wood has been chosen for the handle. The handle is very well-weighted and comes with 3 rivets, a bolster, and full tang.

Best in test!
