Arrived in only 9 days! Seller included a small paring knife as a bonus gift, a very nice touch, thank you! The santoku blade is quite sharp yet feels solid, weighed 175g, the handle is a good size & comfortable. Came with a small, black, burnt looking spot on the blade's spine near the handle but truly a minor thing. Great knife for the price! It does have an odd blade length of 6.5" instead of the more common 7". However, that odd size happens to be my favorite go-to when a large knife isn't needed and it's not always easy to find so I will definitely be ordering another! All was good with the seller, it was a smooth & very speedy transaction
