Professional Opinion
An offset handle is the Kato's practical gift: it drops the elbow and opens the hand, which your shoulder will thank you for after back-to-back clients. The 440C blade comes in 5.5 or 6.0 inches, so match the length to your cutting style. Hand-crafted, Premium collection, lifetime guarantee.
