Howdy,

I'm a classically trained chef, heading to the super yachts to make my fortune haha. I'm looking to upgrade from my Miyabe and Kikuchi, thought I'd nose around here!

Many thanks,
Z

Welcome. I'm not sure if you're serious or being facetious about working on yachts. If serious you might want to look at theses articles from Knife Steels Nerds:
Corrosion Resistance Testing of Stainless Knife Steels
and
What is the Future of Stainless Steel Knife Design
@Larrin participates here on KKF. It is a great community.

Looks like I'd be better of with a non carbon steel, which is really what I was looking for, do you have an opinion on the sandvik 14c28n steel?

14C28N looks great on paper but very few, if any, knife makers are working with it yet. Ginsan, AEB-L, Nitro-V, and D2/SLD11 would be easier to find.
I've known a few people who have worked for the very rich - one as a boat captain, several as gardeners, and one as a chef. I gather it is either really great or hell, depending on the client, with not much room for shades of gray.

Dalman AEB-L will be perfect for a yacht
