My work knife is a black and red Butch 'Mycarta'; 10 inch CPM154. I love it, you're gonna love yours. I got mine soooo sharp, and it lasted weeks with just a bit of stropping. My wife is too scared to use my Carters or Takeda's!

And for the rest of you, working a knife on upto 8-12k is not a sin. Japanese knives, properly hardened, can take a smooth edge and cut like a laser.
