I was in Home Goods yesterday looking for a nice 3 QT Sauce pan (Good Luck with that) and after striking out, I stopped by the cutting board isle. That section was picked over but at the end of the isle I found these knives where typically there is a bunch of cheap Chinese stuff. Japanese knives from Seiki City. I know these are not Masamoto quality blades, but what did I find here and does anyone know what kind of steel these knives are made of? The Wahoo Nakiri ($24.99) has an Octagon handle and is hammered. The Gyuto ($16.99) and Petty ($14.99) are from Kanekaze. The smaller Petty ($7.99) is Tsubazo. There also was another Nagari from Tsuubazo that I did not buy. With tax I am in to all four knives for around $65. I am new to the Forum and I couldn't find any info on these brands doing a search. I have been shopping for some traditional knives but haver not ordered anything yet. I bought these to see how I like the feel of a traditional handle. Thank you.
