Gonbei 270mm AUS-10 Sujihiki

The Gonbei AUS-10 series is a western handled series designed for toughness and edge retention in professional kitchens as well as your home.  As a western handled alternative to our Gesshin Uraku Stainless series, this series is very tough (resists chipping) and durable, while having good edge retention.  Though these knives are more of workhorse knives, they are not particularly thick at the spine or behind the edge.  Rather, they are on the thinner side of a workhorse knife.
 
If you're looking for a western handled knife that can hold up under some serious use, this is your knife.
