  Hey Rick, I'm in the market for a new chef knife, and I was almost sold on this one until I saw you mention on a thread that you disliked Dalstrong knives. I was just curious as to why? https://dalstrong.com/products/ss-x-8-in-chef?variant=42520571078&currency=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLPnBRDjARIsACDzGL1xYC9ETmEcQVy4Wcqq-PLucbRwJyAp4pob8wVdIpNKskXkMUtiqT4aAryiEALw_wcB#shopify-product-reviews

    There are a lot of comments here on Dalstrong, there's nothing much more to it.
    
    Just look at their advertising, I assure you no one ever paid $299 for a Dalstrong.
    
    Here's a real knife for you to consider, good steel properly heat treated, proper edge profile and ground thin at the edge, quality construction:

  Hi Rick Don't worry. I felt guilty to start the debatte. It's really a science to choose the right stuff. Took me 5 years to buy an Tube amp :) Have seen the Takamura's R2 there the Handle should be Japanese. Can you advise another at the same Price which you recommend for Gyuto. Not every stone and Wood goes well with the knife and some Woods do have anti bacteria properties. Have a great day Heinrich
