Hi - long time lurker, first time poster.
Due to a warranty claim on 3 of my Zwilling Twin Cuisines (cracked handles) I have to choose replacement knives and I would love to get your thoughts on the 2 fairly different knives that I am considdering.
I plan to trade in 3 twin cuisines for high end 1 santoku, and I have been offered to go with either the 1731 Santoku or the Miyaki 600MCD santoku.
I love the design of the 1731 but I am also looking to get my first Damascus knife some time soon, so to me they probably rank equally in terms of aesthetics.
What are the most noteworthy differences between the 2 in terms of Edge retention, performance and other stuff such as "chippyness"?
EDIT: My obvious concern is that the 1731 is very overpriced and that you pay too much for the Italian design. Unfortunately I have nowhere to try out the 2
