A friend of mine wants to buy a new chefs knife. I asked him if I can help with recommendations ... as you know, that's what we crazy folks like to do.
Here are his requirements:
Wa handle
three layered steel
AT LEAST 67 Rockwell hard
He won't fill out the questionnaire, for him it's all about the HRC. Maybe I am missing something and maybe I have no clue, but I can't remember having one or regularly seeing a kitchen knife THAT hard. Most of my knives are in the 61-65 range and 67 to me sounds like that thing would just be a little bit too brittle.
But I am happy to be educated
