I had high expectations when I saw the ad for that one. I own the 1.0 and still consider it the best mass production knife. But it cannot hold a candle to all my Japanese blacksmith made blades because it has a flat grind. The 8 was too short and the 10 was just a tad too long… So my hope was that for the 2.0 they will improve the grind and introduce a 9 inch size.
based on the video Bob made about it it’s not much of an improvement. The handle is now micarta instead of real wood used on the 1.0. He claims they improved the distal taper, but the 1.0 was already pretty good on that aspect. So, cheaper materials, same price, no real improvements. Way to go Zwilling…
