Razor thin, very good build quality and gorgeous.
But it's the same metal as the Shun Sora I posted up earlier at almost double the price....

If you want to talk knives...
Then the rabbit hole goes even deeper

But the Shiki's are so much nicer! If we were smart people, we would all get the cheapo victorinox knives and call it a day....

I'm happy I managed to get a full set of these many years ago (it's gotta be close to 7 now):
