Crafted from VG10 stainless steel, the Kurokage range from Sakai Takayuki have a distinct look and ample cutting ability. Grind is middle level, not too thin to overly worry, but not too thick as to affect cutting performance too much.
This is a high contender as a first Japanese knife, easy to maintain and a very cool aesthetic.

Japanese Kitchen Knife | Sujihiki (Slicing Knife)
The Sujihiki knife is a great knife to have in your kitchen, traditionally used in Japan as a slicing knife (the home version of a Yanagiba (Sashimi knife)), it also works very well for general kitchen duties as a utility knife. The sujihiki is a light and nimble knife, long, thin and narrow with a double bevel grind. They obviously do work well for preparing sashimi, but also a wide variety of other slicing tasks.
