Anyone know the edge angle? I wonder since it's a hard steel if has an acuter angle than those of Shuns or MACs.

rdodevNominally, it is supposed to be the same as Shun (15 vs 16 is within their tolerances). I have the 9" dragon fire, a few Shuns, and a couple Miyabis, in addition to some other less common Japanese brands. The Yaxell is far and away the thickest knife behind the edge that I own. It has a wide bezel and isn't particularly acute. The only thing that comes close is this Tojiro DP paring knife I got rid of because it was terrible (thick edge and thick spine, would wedge in everything).

shimageI agree my shun premier santoku is way thinner behind the edge than the dragon fire
