I have a few knives - Tojiro DP petty, gyuto, a sandwich Ao Super nakiri, a Wusthoff chef knife, and a 240mm Richmond Artifex.
I am now hooked to the Richmond AEB-L knife. Love the steel, love the balance, the thinness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. I actually have feelings for this knife!!
I was hoping to find an AEBL petty.. For regular kitchen slicing and push cutting and draw work - veggies only, no meats. Pinch grip when I use, hammer when my family uses. This really is for both my family and I. Hoping to not spend a lot of money - less than $100 USD if possible. My location is Chicago. Have also heard of lasers and in general, I love the thinness of my Artifex so hoping for something similar. Also a conventional double edge that can be sharpened by family on a off the shelf sharpening device.
Checked cktg but Richmond Artifex doesn't have a petty for some reason. Are there any other options for an AEBL thin petty? I see some custom knives but they are all in the $300 range. Or if not petty, a small chef knife (180 or so)? Actually 180mm would be a real nice size - small enough for my family and large enough for me.
We treat knives with reasonable care - and do use composite wooden cutting boards. I also have a sharpening stone but don't have time so end up using one of those off the shelf sharpeners.. The ones with two wheels where you run your knife through a few times. And I use a ceramic honing stick.
My budget is a bit flexible too.
