For anyone looking for an into knife this is a great choice along with the Victorinox Fibrox Pro.
Seems the Gyuto is gone. So if you want Japanese knives (I much prefer Wu handles to Western style) go to chefknivestogo or japaneseknifeimports. There are other sites as well.
DagobertWhetstones are the only real way to sharpen a knife. run through systems and belts will ruin knives quite easily. It's not hard to sharpen a knife with a whetstone either after you get the hang of it and get that hand feel for finding the knife edge angle when it's on the stone. This video is how I learned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9DPlIZct_0
As for stones for most normal sharpening you should have either a 1000 grit or 2000 grit stone and maybe a finishing stone in the 5000+ grit range if you want but it isn't necessary. Anything below 1000 grit is for remaking a knife edge and getting chips out. There are all kinds of stones for all kinds of different price points. I would start out with a Shapton 2000 grit stone along with a flattening stone of your choice that will make sure your whetstone is flat and the optional finishing stone if you want one.
koochykooThere are three styles (names) of knives, but only two are on the purchase list. The Santoku is missing. I want to be all three styles for Christmas presents. Who is in charge of correcting listing/purchasing mistakes?
Mine arrived today in an open box with the tip guard off. Trying to figure out if the tip is bent or if it's just the asymmetrical grind. This is a 210mm gyuto. The black knife box top was nested underneath the bottom...there's no way that happened in transit. The tip guard was just stuck to one side of the blade instead of over the tip. The knife was outside of the handle holder. And the handle hole liner cardboard is torn/crushed. The picture is what I saw when I opened the box. Give me a break.
Should I get this or stretch for the Zwilling Diplome, which looks more comfortable (and uses a different steel)? Getting a knife for my mother, and she prefers santokus-unless there's good reason to get otherwise :p I plan to sharpen it for her occasionally with ceramic sharpening rods. The air is rather humid where she lives
Im looking for a decent budget kitchen knife for the old lady who currently uses junk knives. looking at this one and the victorinox fibrox or the brisa enzo in 12c27 which is a about $25 more expensive. Any thoughts?
CdoyleI've heard that the victorinox encounters sharpening issues later in its life due to the handle design. For the brisa, I think the main difference would be the blade profile (depending on the model you're referring to), and the shape of the grip where the handle meets the blade. This one seems to have a slightly higher HRC rating as well
phoenixsongUPDATE: ended up going with the Vic Fibrox Pro which has been working fine and sharpens plenty easy taking a keen edge. if it does present sharpening issues down the road its inexpensive enough to just replace. i highly recommend it for an affordable solution in the kitchen and picked up the paring knife as well. wife likes them.
I like how I get an email with this knife shown under the heading 'EVERYDAY CARRY'. Are you people at @Drop instigating me to be the next Jason Voorhees or what lol
