Ok :) I think for now I will then stick with the CarboNext Gyuto 210mm. As I understand Gyuto (cow blade? xD) is known to be the/one of the all purposes type of knives. Now I will just be looking for a board to make it justice :P
Hmm what are the differences in terms of usage between a Santoku and Gyuto?
Also what are these Aogami Super? And VG-10? How do they compare to the CarboNext?
Aogami Super costs more in general but has much more thickness...
And you might be right with the Gyuto yes I actually didn't...
I think there might be a winner knife already :)
KAGAYAKI CarboNext Santoku
Cutting edge length: 180mm
Total Length: 300mm
Blade Thickness: 2.2mm
Blade Width: 46mm
Handle Length:113mm
Total Weight: 166g
Is the 2.2mm too much? I can see the petty type has 1.8mm but the blade width is...
How does how thin the knife is affect the slicing/chopping?
I could imagine a not too thin knife could provide more control since it would also likely weight more right?
It's for home usage and I'm not a super experienced slicer just know some basics so could that be a reason for a thicker...
I forgot to mention that I also prefer a blade width of around 4cm and I can see both akifusa and JCK Carbonext have some offers of those that look really nice :)
So thank you all and if there is more info it is also most welcome.
I understand the handle issue and I think I will be fine...
That was a fast reply :) well those have wood handles... do you know similar knives with metal handles?
And is there any kind of cutting board I should be using (I have a approx. 1.5 cm thick big old wood board) and tiny plastic one.
Greetings :) I am a bowel with no water when it comes to kitchen knives maintenance and purchasing knowledge, and probably can learn more on how to use them.
I have only a basic set of knives from a grocery shop and they don't "just slice".
What type of knife(s) do you think you want?
A knife...
Howdy everyone :)
I love cooking as I find it the most delicious art of all... but I know nothing of important accessories like knives.
Was once a kitchen assistant here in Copenhagen and I remember seeing how awesome my Chef's knife was and comparing to what I have at home... lol.
So I will...
