used my Sabatier chef exclusively, today. it was used for dressing some lamb and cutting vegetables (sweet potato, onion, corn, and red peppers for a medley, and chard and shallot for crostini topped with graindorge petit livarot and swiss chard sautéed with shallot and onion, which was delicious). i don't have many complaints. it was comfortable, and stayed sharp enough throughout the whole process (i gave it a couple swipes on my Shun steel halfway through, when i noticed it starting to steer at the sweet spot, which fixed it up). no major reactivity, but i had forced a pretty solid mustard patina earlier. five or six swipes on a CrO/balsa strop brought it back to shaving sharp, at the end. i really like this knife. after using my new Kochi for a while, i didn't feel like the Sab was an effortless cutter, but after using the Kochi i don't feel like my Shigefusa is either, so that's not damning.
