Hi to everyone. I am looking at the cermax 240 mm gyuto, but I am not sure if it really wort buy it.
There is someone that already try it and want to share his experience with me?

I have a smaller knife from this line. Sort of like a gyuto/petty hybrid. It's a really hardened steel that holds it's edge well and is reasonable to sharpen. Very handle heavy though, as is the German way I suppose.

Good to know because I love heavy handles.
Hope the gyuto will hold well the edge aswell.
Tk you for sharing

It's ZDP-189 so it should be very hard with great edge retention, but a slight tendency to chip.

I'm sure you already knew that though.

These were discussed many years ago at KF (is it a no-no to direct post those links here? if so I'm sorry), but yeah pretty much echos what was said here. Heavy handles (if that's your thing), very high edge retention.
