Best Onion Knife vs Best Sweet Potato/Butternut Knife

[pitted_soul]

Love the Scotch-Brite finish for use. Trying to figure out how to do this at home without belts. Hand pads are available so I'll give it a shot sooner or later.

What grade do you use?

Ha Ha,
I have sharpened and tried one of these.

What a shocker, silly profile with really high tip, large gaps in between bolster and blade for food and juices to get stuck and a brittle chippy edge.

But it is Ken Onion design so it has to be best for onions.

We don't recommend using your knife in such a way as to get food and juices in these obvious points of fault. If you're going to be working with anything dirty, we recommend a different knife.

Exactly, Onion is the knifes name it has to be the best. Game over.

I have one laser with a mirror finish. It's a handmade honyaki in W2 and it has the most limited usage as it wedges. It should be sold but it's too pretty to get rid of. I put it up for sale, but then back off. It's the one knife making me compromise my stable standards.

That's unfortunate. A wedge-y laser sounds like a bad joke. I guess that would be the most extreme example of how much effect the final finish can have on performance in the kitchen.

Handle heavy also.
