Just dropped $262 on a knife. Hope I don't regret it.

I didn't even click the link, but if you dropped almost $300 on a fucking blade...............god damn.....give me that money and ill get you a blade that can.......


Ya know what? never mind this post. Happy cutting bro. Peace.
 
I clicked on the link, and there are two things I have to say: whoever built that website is mildly retarded, and, why?

I like the look of it, but to be honest that's probably where 90% of that money went.

Also I find that I prefer a thicker cleaver like knife for about 80% of the cutting work I do in cooking. Something like the Ginsu cleaver, or anything similar:

Something like the above and 1 good serrated blade is all I find I need for just about anything. The key thing to me is it has to have a little weight behind it, not too much though, so it's comfortable to work with.
 
Nice knife. I have the same one but I bought it when they first introduced them. I am surprised they have any left. When you have time, go check out knifeforums where this knife was conceived/designed.
 
Gorgeous... makes you want to set it down and just stare at the perfection. Those are some of the prettiest VG10s out there. Personally, I like the weight and handle of the Guyto better.
If you're not a professional chef, you're a moron.

An excellent tool for everyday kitchen work can make the difference between feeling tired or energetic at the end of the day, and making meal prep exciting vs a chore. That said, the much cheaper Forschner/Victorinox knives are actually fantastic.
 
If you like collecting and have disposable income, thats fine.
But I happen to know for a fact knives a fraction of that price are just as good at cutting.
 
Global knives are the best. Cheaper too. I don't see any mention of the material the knife is made from on that site you posted. Utter fail not to mention what the knife is even made of. Sorry you were duped by those forums.

Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.
