August 30, 2019 By admin

DE BUYER FK2 Asian Chef Knife, 6-Inch, Metallic Black

My latest acquisition is the DE BUYER FK2 Asian Chef Knife, 6-Inch, Metallic Black. I love De Buyer pans but I've never tried before De Buyer knives. I bought this one on a whim in Madrid's El Corte Inglés, enchanted by knife's beautiful shape. It's proved as a worthy purchase, very light and thin blade is a blessing to work with and sharpen, the handle is super-ergonomic. Now … [Read more...] about DE BUYER FK2 Asian Chef Knife, 6-Inch, Metallic Black

Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered Chef Knives F-807 and F-808

These two Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered Chef Knives F-807 and F-808 are my favorite all-around no-nonsense knives, 7 and 8 inch respectively. Actually I use mostly the shorter 7-inch F-807, in my humble opinion it's second only to Wüsthof CLASSIC Extra Wide 16cm 4584/16, judging by performance, ergonomics, maintenance and universality. The Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered … [Read more...] about Tojiro DP Cobalt Alloy 3-Layered Chef Knives F-807 and F-808

The Yaxell Ran 5-inch Santoku was razor sharp out of the box. The knife is the piece of art with exquisite Damascus pattern, light weight and well balanced.

July 1, 2014 By admin

Wakoli 1DM-SAN-MIK Santoku Damascus Knife, Japanese Damascus Steel VG-10, Mikata Handle

The Wakoli santoku knife is marketed by Oleio GmbH, Germany. In all likeliness it's a Chinese or Taiwanese made knife presumably of Japanese Damascus steel VG-10 (69 layers). I say presumably about VG-10 because in my experience Chinese and Taiwanese companies manufacturing private labels quite often fail to produce Takefu certificates. Quite often Chinese and Taiwanese … [Read more...] about Wakoli 1DM-SAN-MIK Santoku Damascus Knife, Japanese Damascus Steel VG-10, Mikata Handle
