Hisashige/Hi Carbon Japan Steel, Japanese Professional Knife,Gyuto (270 mm/10.6")

This knife performs like knives two to three times its price. I absolutely abused this knife to see what it could take as a beater knife. I used it to dice chicken carcasses (thigh bones included) then was still able to use it to shave. Hard enough to hold a great edge, but soft enough not to chip. It's my favorite workhorse
