LOCATION
What country are you in? United States
KNIFE TYPE
What type of knife are you interested in (e.g., chefs knife, slicer, boning knife, utility knife, bread knife, paring knife, cleaver)? Chefs knife
Are you right or left handed? Right
Are you interested in a Western handle (e.g., classic Wusthof handle) or Japanese handle? Japanese
What length of knife (blade) are you interested in (in inches or millimeters)? 210-220?
Do you require a stainless knife? (Yes or no) No.
What is your absolute maximum budget for your knife? 200...
KNIFE USE
Do you primarily intend to use this knife at home or a professional environment? Professional.
What are the main tasks you primarily intend to use the knife for (e.g., slicing vegetables, chopping vegetables, mincing vegetables, slicing meats, cutting down poultry, breaking poultry bones, filleting fish, trimming meats, etc.)? (Please identify as many tasks as you would like.) Honestly, everything. I would really love to be able to break down meats, while also doing some fish butchery, and all vegetable cuts.
What knife, if any, are you replacing? Yamashin #1 white.
Do you have a particular grip that you primarily use? (Please click on this LINK for the common types of grips.) Not necessarily
What cutting motions do you primarily use? (Please click on this LINK for types of cutting motions and identify the two or three most common cutting motions, in order of most used to least used.) I would say push and some rock
What improvements do you want from your current knife? If you are not replacing a knife, please identify as many characteristics identified below in parentheses that you would like this knife to have.) I want something higher quality. better handle even, but also something that can sharpen nicely.
Better aesthetics (e.g., a certain type of finish; layered/Damascus or other pattern of steel; different handle color/pattern/shape/wood; better scratch resistance; better stain resistance)? Not as picky here.
Comfort (e.g., lighter/heavier knife; better handle material; better handle shape; rounded spine/choil of the knife; improved balance)? Can't say I know enough to answer this question.
Ease of Use (e.g., ability to use the knife right out of the box; smoother rock chopping, push cutting, or slicing motion; less wedging; better food release; less reactivity with food; easier to sharpen)? Not to intense to sharpen, food release would be nice.
Edge Retention (i.e., length of time you want the edge to last without sharpening)? I try to sharpen my knives at least once a week so i don't think this is as applicable.
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
Do you use a bamboo, wood, rubber, or synthetic cutting board? (Yes or no.) wood and synthetic.
Do you sharpen your own knives? (Yes or no.) Yes.
If not, are you interested in learning how to sharpen your knives? (Yes or no.)
Are you interested in purchasing sharpening products for your knives? (Yes or no.) Yes. Any recommendations for better stones since they ones are a gift that is of an unknown origin.
SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS:
I hope everyone had a really awesome christmas, and thank you so much for your help.
