Does anyone know anything about this knife. The sous at the restaurant I work has had one for six years a loves it. Any opinions or suggestions?

[NO ChoP!]

Seems pricey for a VG-10. $400 can get you a lot of knife.... Masanobu always has very interesting handles, though....

I agree that its a little pricey for VG-10. Any suggestions on a better knife for the price?

There are so many options in that price range. Are you looking for stainless only?

[bechler]

Would the Hattori FH Suji be a better bang for the buck?

[bechler]

Yeah I am looking to stay with stainless for maintenance reasons.

gesshin ginga, sakai yusuke (you can message keiichi and get a 3 point bump in Hrc from 58 to 61 for a few more bucks), or kono ss are a bit more affordable than the masanobu

I wouldn't bother with the Hattori either, if you're looking to spend that much coin there are many better options

Suisin INOX
Geshin Ginga
******** Laser
Konosuke HH

These are other brands I am considering

I'd go with gesshin ginga.
