In my view, this knife appears and feels very low quality. I purchased a 6” Santoku Knife from the Explorer Series and found its fit and finish lacking, the handle uncomfortable, and the weight and balance unsatisfactory. The included sheath felt flimsy and had an unusual odor. Initially, I thought the upper part of the blade was black due to hand forging, but it seems to just be painted black, raising doubts about whether it was genuinely hand-forged. I'm also concerned it might wear off into my food. The knife I received was quite dull compared to others I've purchased. Be sure to read the 30-day satisfaction guarantee carefully; you must return it in new condition with all packaging. The return process was slow for me, requiring multiple communications. Ultimately, after declining their offers to keep the knife at a discount, I was informed a full refund would be issued, which was a nice gesture. However, I cannot recommend this knife as I believe there are much better options available at this price.
