Professional Opinion
Oval finger and thumb rings are a small detail that makes a real difference in comfort, spreading pressure across the finger instead of pinching. The Aichi pairs that classic offset grip with ATS-314 steel and a convex edge, a combination that handles blunt and dry cutting well. Three lengths from 5.0 to 6.0 inch, around US$653.
