Im still trying to decide on my first Japanese knife. My first question is why hattori vg10 basic gyuto is 100 more than the Jck fh gyuto. I'm looking at the 240 size and I believe they are both vg10. What the difference? Also there is no listing on the hardness of the Jck fh vg10. Is that a good steel or should I be looking for carbon of some sort? I am a chef and want the best for my 250 to 300 budget. I looked at the carter website and all the ones I'm interested in are sold out. Does anyone know how long of a wait for one of those? I really want to make the right decision and need help. Any suggestions or different brands metals ect... Would be great, thank you
