Bet you only end up using 3 of those blades.

I've discovered the greatness that is Yaxell. I own Shun, Global, Miyabi, and Wusthoff and not a one of them arrived as sharp or holds an edge the way my Yaxell chef's knife does. I use an 8" chef for nearly all my prep, Mundial scalloped slicers for large meats, and mainly a Dexter 7" flexibile filet for meat trimming, and a Wusthoff boning knife for de-boning).

Love my Shun 6" Santuko.

I don't remember how I came about this brand, but I have Mac knives that have been great for over 10 years.  I wouldn't mind getting the chef knife sharpened back to it's original sharp as fuck state. Any good places in Austin?

I've had good results with the Austin's Knife Sharpest.  I have several Global knives that he has sharpened over the years.

I need to upgrade m knife scene do following along for suggestions.

I know a guy who started a business and you can ship your knives off to him and he will send you back sharp ones. I believe his name is Goo Punch. PM him for details.

Mac sells a sharpener on their website that is made for that chef knife.  I just bought the same knife about 6 months ago and love it to death.  MTH-80 chef knife is the shit.

Yeah, I might try that. It doesn't really need sharpening, I just know it's not as sharp as it was brand new.  But yeah, take care of it and you'll love it for a long time.

If you use your knife with any regularity it should be sharpened once a year, and honed once a month

The knife sharpest isn’t even in the storage place anymore. It’s now just one guy operating from an apartment off of 183. Still did good work on a handful of pocket knives for me.

So my nephew and godson FINALLY graduated from college.  Wanted a unique gift so I decided a nice cooking knife and since he's obsessed with Japan I decided on a Masamoto.   Ordered the cheapest one they had at $99.  Mosamotos are considered the best Japanese knives by many.   Well lets just say I thought it would be bigger.  Pictured here with my Masamoto that I bought in Tokyo for the same price.

Link requires owner permission.  I take it the knife is very small.

[midtown 3346]

Nice.  Enjoy it while you can.  They grow up fast. 

[midtown 3346]

Added a Japanese chefs knife recently.

Yaxell 69 Layer VG 10 Damascus.

 

Contrast to the slicer.  This one is stainless vs carbon steel.

I have a set of Messermeister that I've had for over 20 years that includes this. They're as good as the day I bought them.

nice.  this was my first and still my favorite, going on 15 years.  the balance is great.  edge is great.  the heel/bolster shaping is perfect.  the label faded a bit , but the knife is a lifer

I went ahead and bought the Global Bamboo Block set. Should be set for life haha. Some wet stones and proper sharpening technique and maintaining them razor sharp is easy peasy.

Never had anything but cheap Chinese knives to use, but I just finally received this.
