Hello,
Recently I purchased my first high end knife, the Misono UX 10 240 mm chef's knife. I did conduct quite a bit of research prior to my purchase. Upon it's arrival, I tried it out immediately. It slide through an onion with the greatest of ease and my excitement was building as the thought of struggling through my chopping duties was a thing of the ugly past.
Filled with vigor, I decided to tackle a couple of sweet potatoes. Suddenly, it wasn't like "cutting through butter" anymore.
Can anyone proffer some suggestions of the reason for this disappointing performance of only the second item I cut with my out of the box knife? Imposter knife? Perhaps, not always it's sharpest out of the box, which doesn't seem logical? A return that saw some use, but have absolutely no signs of wear, and was sold as new?
Perplexed!
