Does anyone have trouble keeping the enso hd knives clean? the pits from the hammering seem like they might be hard to wipe clean...

I have owned this knife for approximately 9 months and have had no issues with keeping it clean. The pits are not as deep as they look in the picture. I absolutely love this knife, and it is scary sharp.

How do you sharpen it? 12deg is not the typ 10deg asian angle and not the 14-15deg western angle.

I use wet stones, this knife is so well sharpened that I’ve only had to use the wet stones twice this year. I’m a home cook and not a professional, so the angle of sharpening for me doesn’t have to be perfect. Hope this helps

¿What sharping stone do you recommend for this knife?

Japanese water stones. Found on Amazon.

whats the weight of this knife?

Not sure on exact weight, but it is light and extremely sharp. 100% satisfied.
