DerHusker Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 If I had stopped at the cheap Mercer knife, I had purchased from Amazon I’d have been fine. (See previous thread) Unfortunately, there was a sale over Labor Day at Cutlery and More, so my wife is now mad at me because I purchased 3 more new knives. She suggested I have a problem and to this I must agree. I didn’t “need” any of these knives, but one was such a good price and the other two are, as Old Man Parker said on Christmas Story, “Indescribably Beautiful!”. Below is a short video of the objects of my wife’s wrath. This first knife is a 9” Dragon Storm Chef’s knife by Apogee Cutlery. It’s made of BD1N steel with a HRC of 63. It was on Clearance with an additional 20% off for Labor Day. This next knife is an Enso SG2 7” Bunka knife. It’s made of 101 layers of stainless with a SG2 steel core with an HRC of 63. It was on sale with special price and 20% off for Labor Day. This last knife is an Miyabi Artisan 9.5” Kiritsuke knife. It’s made of 2 layers of hammered stainless with a SG2 steel core with an HRC of 63. It was offered at special introductory price for Labor Day. Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3fkX9xlPvk I’m going to have to cook some good food using these knives to get out of the Doghouse. Thanks for looking. retfr8flyr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Setzler Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I am a huge fan of the Miyabi stuff. Several years ago I bought a Kaizen II chef and i loved it. It was my go-to. I managed to drop it and ruin it by taking a bit chunk out of the blade. After crying about that for a while I decided to replace it with one of the nicer Miyabis and I have never looked back.

I wanted a Nakiri but they don't make a Nakiri or a Bunka in that series so that is why I purchased the Enso. It's real nice as well but the handle isn't quite as comfortable the the Artisan's. (If I ad to choose between them) John Setzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
