So, I went to Temu to see about maybe getting some more of those little mini knives and while I was there, I would up getting an 8" Cleaver/chef knife - so, I don't even think this thing has a brand name - all I can get is that it's made in China by so and so - just initials- but, it's supposedly 33 layer Damascus with a VG10 Core. Price was $44 I think? But, I gotta tell ya, this may be the sharpest damned knife I've ever had outta the box! And, it's extremely nice for $44! I also can not find one bad review about it, and there's plenty of reviews with pics.
It's supposedly sharpened 15° per side - see pics below- if this thing holds an edge well- if the core really is VG10, then I'll buy the whole set. The balance is really not that good but for the $ I digress.
They did an excellent job sharpening it. Nice and even and just ridiculously sharp.
I wasn't expecting much & I'm still not convinced but, if it performs well and holds that edge well then that's one heckuva deal.
Here's some pics. I'll keep yall posted on how she performs. I've gotta a Edge Works Chef in Nitro-V comin in tomorrow- the guys from DLT rave about those. They and the owner Jason Thune say those are the sharpest outta the box kitchen knives they've ever seen. We shall see.
Anyways, here's some pics
some was pure **** junk! And, I knew better but, for $5? I was just having a little fun.
