Hap-40 Sanmai Kiritsuke Gyuto, from Koujin Hamono.
Sharpened by Koujins in house sharpeners, these come with an excellent edge right out of the box. For a knife of this price range, they punch well above their weight, and overall are a good choice for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
The Saya pictured is optional.
