I’ve got a kedma Gyuto in stainless, had it for about a year now. I like it but don’t love it. Profile is nice, very nimble in hand. The handle is comfy but on the skinny side and I don’t have large hands. One of the nicer feeling stainless steels I’ve used on the stones although 90% of what I’ve used in the last 10+ years is carbon so my experience with stainless is somewhat limited.
The grind is a bit meh. Looks laser-ish from the choil but isn’t actually particularly thin behind the edge and release isn’t anything special. The heel on mine needed to be ground down a little more ootb as it had a (very small) high spot about 1-2 inches in and there was a bit towards the tip that felt quite a bit thicker than the rest.
I’m making it sound like a lemon. It’s not bad by any means. It’s comfortable, cuts well, sharpens and touches up easily. I'd consider buying another if I could look it over in person first but I probably wouldn't pay full price for one. I think I recall a post on their Instagram a while back about discounting the remaining kedma stock while they rework the line. Perhaps their standard shape performs a lot different, pity they don't make them in 240mm +.
