I just dove into the rabbit hole of knives today, and after reading so much I realized I don’t need a whole knife set. Now I’m on a mission to find knives that will fit me. Thanks for posting this!

Same here, eyeing those japaanes "samurai" blades, finding out that with my mosed used technique, the German knife is best, many thanks, also your honesty, damaging the Wusthoff tip, thanks man!

For us westerners German knives are better, japanese are too delicate.

Too bad no consideration was given to French chef knives. The design of gyutos was inspired by western knives, but more so by classic French chef knives.
