And it’s on sale
I just bought myself this knife and it literally makes me happy every time I use it. I'm no chef, and this is definitely overkill, but I treat it really nicely so I know it will last years.
Honestly? I know you don't want it, but a knife. Sorry.
A well fit kitchen is really important. I like to go with a minimalist style and just wash as I go. It keeps the clutter down and makes cooking pretty damn easy. Good luck!
Shun Premier Chef?
Core is VG-MAX which is basically VG-10 but a little more pricey and holds a better edge. The damascus laminate is stainless and very corrosion resistant. Full tang and forged, supposedly hand made but coming from Shun I have my doubts. Handles are real wood but the wood is impregnated with resin which makes it impossible to rot or absorb moisture.

I own the cheaper BIFL items i listed and they have been AMAZING so far. you really cant beat the quality/ price ratio for the cheaper things i listed. if you want a better chef knife all the options i gave you would be excellent but just know that you could go crazy looking at all the different brands.
Turns out his is the paring version, I have the full size version. But mine is this knife.
Oh, hey, that looks spot on! ty =)
Is this the same knife?
I swear, this knife that my sous gave me is giving me carpal tunnel.
It's pretty, but so damn uncomfortable.
Hopefully you're enjoying yours.
Nice Kit. How do you like the G2 Chef's knife? I use a 8" Shun Premier.
