Has anyone had a chance to compare the Takeda NAS (stainless clad) knives with the iron kuroichi Takeda AS line?
My interest lies with any differences in food release because of the smoother finish on the stainless line as well as my concern about the 'grind' of the newer NAS knives. Takeda knives in the older AS line tended to have a concave grind. The middle of the blade was the thinnest, and the area toward the cutting edge became slightly thicker resulting in a subtle concave shape that helped release food. From the limited number of choil-shots that I've seen, the NAS knives seemed to be very flat rather than concave.
Does anyone owning the Takeda NAS care to comment on whether his blade is flat or concave?
Thanks!
