I once got as a present two Chroma Knives - Original line H-07 and H-09.
When I got them they looked awesome.
Now that I got acquainted (thanks to this forum and its wonderful members) to Japanese knives, I took these two knives out of the drawer and examined them.
Both don't have stamped kanji and are etched on both sides.
The H-09 has an oval handle and looks like the blade is ground 50/50
The H-07 looks more "Japanese" with a straight (maybe slightly concave) back and a 3 angled face.
It says Molybdenum Vanadium on the back but I can't find any information on the steel or the hardness.
sharpness OOTB is not good and feels rough.
I must say they don't look so awesome now.
Does anyone know anything about these knives... are they worth keeping and using?
Thanks,
Joel
