How is the "Grand Maitre" Santoku different from the Victorinox rosewood Santoku that can be easily found for about 30% less? anything different with the Grand Maitre series?
MezzRosewood is stamped (fibrox with rosewood handle), Grand Maitre is forged. However, Grand maitre have 2 line - Black and Rosewood. Black is selling online for about $100 USD.
ptseThank you for the info, now this makes sense. I had the rosewood Santoku on my list for a while, but I think I am going to get the forged Grand Maitre.
