This review is from: Bunmei 4 inch Deba Knife

The knife just has fantastic steel and will take and keep an edge. The blade is wide enough to keep my knuckles off the cutting board, which I like. Am a knife guy and do most of the cooking at our house. Have had other deba style knives, but none with the steel of this brand. I love the one side taper on this style knife as it kicks away the last slice making room on the knife for the next. Having said that, it took a call to a knife shop for me to learn how to get a shaving edge with the one side taper. Now that have learned the trick it's no problem (I use ceramic to hone that edge). Personally, I do most of my kitchen chores now with this knife.
