Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.
This is what I usually carry for long bike rides:

Is Gosling's good?
Finished my Bumbu X, thought I would get some dark rum at Costco today, they had none. Going to total wine, they have Gosling, but it is so cheap it makes me wonder. Is it one of those things that is good but cheap, or is it just cheap, so less discerning people like it for that reason? I just remembered, I think I have some Diplomatico around here somewhere. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: I don't have any Shuns, but some of the other less traditional ones would be basically the same thing. VG-10 which seems ostensibly basically the same as Shun's proprietary VG-Max is very good kitchen knife steel and I've found it to hold an edge very well. In testing VG-10 is not as good of steel as the HAP-40 though in edge retention, but is less stainless. Mine is getting a nice patina now just on the core so it makes the hamon pop more and I like it for that. The others available there still with Aogami Super should also be a step up from Shun's. Shun are made in Japan in Seki and are mass produced Kai product (ZT, Kershaw) but high quality (if like my similar brands) with a good reputation. The Kohetsu is more of a small scale traditional type affair. The Kohetsus have a solid reputation for the heat treat, grinds, and blade geometry. I am much more drawn to the latter and it has been a versatile knife that gets used a lot for anything from cheese to tomatoes etc. etc.. I still need to get a chicken to process though to try out its original intended use. It is going to come down significantly to your tastes and the aesthetics. For perspective, if you post the Shun on Kitchenknifeforums you'll get cool to negative responses, whereas the Kohetsu would get nods. chefknivestogo is the first and usually last stop for Japanese kitchen knives. They also have a boning knife section. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/honesuki.html Japanese knife imports has a solid, and wide, selection of knives from smaller and more traditional makers as well. |
