Dao Vua is the premier knife brand from Vietnam. The knife has a thin blade and just the right weight and balance. All knives are entirely hand-forged, and throughout the manufacturing process, everything is done without significant machine involvement. The steel used is a high-carbon monosteel hardened to 61 HRC. The knife becomes incredibly sharp and is easy to hone. The handles are also handmade from various local wood types, with an emphasis on Padauk, ebony, and Amboyna.
In short, this is a great value for a handmade knife, even though Vietnam is nowhere near as famous as Japan when it comes to forging.
