Care and everyday use
It is at its best for everyday prep plus detailed tip work. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Solid buy. Sharp, light and nimble. Would happily buy from Knives and Stones again.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

Great bunka. Took a light touch-up on the stones to get it exactly how I like it, then flawless.

Scary sharp out of the box. Glides through onions and tomatoes with zero effort.

Feels fantastic in the hand and the blade looks even better in person.

The SG2/R2 powder stainless steel takes a wicked edge. Fit and finish are excellent for the price.
