Id go Marko 52100 mono steel gyuto if I was the threadstarter. But then again I go for the best, and this is the best buy atm.
Marko is a perfectionist. Its a mental illness...
Oh I know you might know why I said it to:
First off:
I like a good handle. What I have experienced on a lot of japanese knives and mass-produced is that the handles don't feel good. Markos meiji is impressive and at par or better than his octagons. Other knives just don't put that much effort into the handle. And for me a great grip is extremely important when it comes to a kitchen knife.
Second:
The steel. 52100 is an animal, takes a great edge and holds it forever. Marko got really good HT, and I know he learned a lot from DT.
Third:
His profile and geometry is very impressive. I know Marko is working on a new grind, but I think he struck gold with this one.
Forth:
Marko is a perfectionist. Its a mental illness that makes him strive to deliver the best of the best
Fifth:
He got a full money back guarantee.
Sixth:
Its a full custom for a price of a mass-produced. Killer deal
Have you received yours yet? Or did you get to try one out already on the pass around? I'm pretty excited for my name to come up on the list but have not had a chance to use one and compare to my other knives.
