I'm a professional chef, and this is my favorite of the ~30 chef knives I've used. I have "better" carbon steel knives, but this is the trusty, durable go-to. It's sold out and has been for a while, but there are similar knives (240mm, ginsan/ginsanko/silver 3 stainless steel, the handle type doesn't matter).
