I purchased the 8" Chef's knife and Utility knife. They are both of a nice weight and balance, and they maintain their edge well. They can easily stain if they are not cleaned quickly after each use.

The santoku is an incredibly versatile knife. The pairing knife has a nice fat belly and a nice nook for your finger to sit while pairing. The steel on these knives is amazing, incredibly hard, very tough, and takes a very sharp edge. I've never had corrosion issues with any knives, and these stay true to that. I'm very impressed with the steel and I'd like to see more knives made with it. I'm also a huge fan of the santoku design it works as both a santoku and a european chefs knife uncompromising for both uses. I use the santoku more than any other knife, even when you typically wouldn't use a traditional santoku. The only time I use a different knife is when I need to bring out my larger chefs knife. Unfortunately I do not have the Dragon chefs knife, as I have a VG-10 convex grind 9" Gyuto knife. However I still use the santoku more often, and honestly I think most people would be well off just using the santoku and pairing knife for everything. I purchased a second set for my parents as a holiday gift. They use these knives more than anything. These are my favorite set of knives.

The steel in these knives holds an edge very well. They will loose that initial bleeding edge but settle into a very sharp edge for months. Look at the rope tests. Some of the longest lasting edges come from this bd1n steel.

Can we please get another drop for these knives?

Hi, to the maker/designer of this knife, how does the warranty work? I received the set of knives (7.5 Santoku and paring) April 12, 2017, and they are definitely sharp. I have only used them several times, have not used them in the dishwasher, and have been very careful with them. I noticed the other day that there is a chip in the middle of the Santoku knife, which is very annoying. Now I have to cut using the part of the knife without a chip. Again, I have not dropped the knife, cut on anything but a chopping board, and have only cut things like vegetables and fruits. Please let me know how I can activate a warranty claim for replacement or repair. It's been a good knife other than that. Thanks!
