Community Notes
"r/chefknives enthusiasts describe Kotetsu knives as "super thin laser performers" that fly through soft produce and rarely wedge. One r/TrueChefKnives user with a Koutetsu Bunka in R2 steel notes it "firmly planted itself in my rotation" as a complete laser, praising R2 as a great powdered steel."
