I've been a professional chef for 15 years, and now own my own catering company. I have a large collection of knives, including the slightly more expensive UX10's. This knives blade material is by far my favorite. Carbon steel (will rust if not properly tended to), keeps a razor edge all day long, is comfortable - I have the largest size, and can still use it for fine work. Also I was worried it maybe too brittle and fine edged, but it is yet to chip (after quite a lot of abuse)

i work in a italian restaurant and use this knife for about 12hrs a day. even after my 6hr of prep work it will still slice a well done tuna with out shredding it. and will only take 10 minutes at the end of my shift to keep the blade razor sharp.

I am not a sushi chef, I am a line cook at a high volume fine dining restaurant and this is the best knife I have ever used. Holds a razor sharp edge that has everyone else in the kitchen saying "Whoa!". Only con is that it tarnishes easily because of the high carbon but I kinda like that look.
