Hey folks, thanks for tuning in as always!

In todays video we're going to talk about all the things you should consider before buying your first Japanese knife. Now we know there are tons of steels, finishes (we've got a video on that!), grinds, handles, HRC ratings and more to consider. At the shop we don't think you should obsess over EVERY little detail for your first knife, while there are some important decisions you have to make, and well touch on all of those in this video!
