This Gyuto has a solid feel when you use it and for those Chef’s/Cooks that like a bit of extra weight in their knives then this knife will suit you. The black Micarta handle, the Mosaic pin, the integral bolster, and the superb finish with its razor-sharp grind are a credit to the blacksmith's skills.
