Just did a large prep session for mothers day. Man, this excelled at everything. Lateral cuts flew through onions, carrots dead silent, and grabbed peppers easily, shallots minced no problem. I don’t know but this may be the best knife dollar for dollar. It feels like a WH/middleweight but cuts like a custom Xerxes with stellar food release. Doesn’t oxidize easily, patina was mostly stable and subtle. Balance is perfect and I am not worried about the edge. Feels great on poly cutting boards. Good feedback on my coti. Steel wasn’t too hard for it. And the edge lasted for a whole shift and still grabbed tomato and pepper skins. Maybe I’ll crack some lobsters with her to hit the durability benchmark fully.

TLDR: Jannis makes a damn good knife.
Is it stainless? lots of onions with no patina!
 
Some more knives.

Every time I sharpen a Yanick it feels soooooooo crisp on the stones. Hard to explain but just has such good feedback and results with minimal effort.

Not stainless.

Tungsten steel 1.2419 if I’m not mistaken. Doesn’t blotter(?) patina/rust like those wrought iron clads. Comes in much more even, consistent, and subtle. I’ll check the composition out as their may be an element a little higher to prevent. But HRC is 63 64 and feels great.
 
Was that the Fellipi listed a while ago? Looks so nice! He nails ku on wrought, which I understand (from conversations with a few makers) to be very difficult
It’s a beautiful knife, I just received it yesterday and haven’t really looked at it, razor sharp though
