where can i get one ?
The key point here is that the knife is of good forged steel and it is well honed and sharpened.
it is my preferred chef knife or guyoto in japanese.. but it is also one of the cheaper brands… costing a rock bottom 80 dollars for me where most others were at least 100+
This was the thinnest knife in my own perception. despite the fact that they said some of the ones they showed me were thinner. Being so darn thin means it can be SO DARN DELICATE… that being said it is not a good knife for the home cook, and it is not good for a chef who likes to really throw his weight behind the knife.. he is likely to chip the tip off of it.. as i have done once so far. the steel is not very strong or durable so be prepared to sharpen about once every 2 days of regular use
HEJ MANN COOL KNIFE !!!!!
You are right in that the steel isn’t exceptionally strong, but the knife will still perform the whole-tomatoe slice easily after few months of used without sharpening, I just recently did that for a friend, as long as the tomatoe is at least 10″ away from the knife.
ps: I have only sharpened the knife once, and that was over 6 months ago.
i got mine from bronzemoon outdoors

how many layers?? 1 2 3 37?
you do know you can get this with 67 layers right???
you do know that you only need 3 layers to get the great edge, and the good resistance to rust the outer layers add… right???
yep
I was interested in getting a knife for industrial use since im a prep cook. I was considering the tojiro dp or a mac chef series 8.5 in chefs knife. what would you reccomend?
This knife is very nice. I’ve used one for the last two years as an avid home cook. It’s carbon steel wrapped in stainless, so it’s not as stain-prone as 100% carbon steel but you still get the benefit of the carbon steel edge.
I give it a swipe or three on the steel every time I get it out, and it serves me well.
@posiedonx
Actually this is completely stainless. Perhaps you are confusing this with a Hiromoto As? This is VG-10 steel at the core, the same steel as Classic Shun series and many others. It is cladded with softer stainless which is more to cut down cost and help with ease of sharpening.
As to the other post from a year ago saying it is not good for home cooks or chefs hard on their knives, that is just a matter of opinion.
@trotchye If you put the right edge on this it is very durable and good strong knife. Being VG-10 I have found them to chip if you have a thin bevel and you are hard on them. Putting a strong micro bevel can make them more durable and less prone to chipping. IMO these are great for a home cook OTB and good for heavy use in a pro kitchen if you know how to sharpen on stones or with sanding belts.
As long as you don’t oversharpen or put too thin of an edge it should never chip
