With a unique tsuchime (hammered finish) Shirogami #2 high carbon blade and ho wood handle, these would have to be our most recommended mid-level high-carbon chef knives.

I have built a very strong relationship with ProTooling. Paul (the owner) has a very good attitude and that reflects in the products he stands behind. He provides only the best quality through all of the good relationships he has been able to grow throughout the years with the top craftsmen in Japan. He and his staff are amazing. Keep up the good work.
