throw out the whole state of cali and get a new one imo

You mean Texas and Florida right?

Chop Florida off with my Wusthof.

I was going to go with a shun premiere cooks knife but I don’t trust myself with 61 hrc vg10/vg max lol

You don’t need thumbs Trev just cut them off

Haha it’s not that, it’s that vg10 hardened to 61 hrc is very chippy. I needed something that could at least take a minor beating since I’m no pro and probably chop too hard haha. Very hard vg10 could literally chip on like a good loaf of bread if you aren’t consistently using proper technique. Not that you’d be cutting bread with that knife anyways haha just an example

My cousin tried to sell me some. He was reading off the stupid script they gave him for his sales pitch. He was like, "the handle is designed to be comfortable in your hands, see how comfortable it feels?" and then i said, "nah man, it feels like shit." and it threw him off his lame sales pitch. he couldn't recover.



I have a VG10 core knife that I have only used a few times, but i remember when i first got it. a cook at the restaurant i was interning at asked to used it to cut through a butternut squash. he cut through it, no chips. I use a carbon knife and a semi stainless as my main knives. with that said, fuck carbon. such a pain in the ass to maintain.

I believe a professional cook could use a hard vg10 no problem. I’m not knocking the steel necessarily, just my own skills. Hard/thin steels need users that are consistently good in technique haha. I’d chip it fo sho. I’m used to maintaining high carbon knives since I am realy into bush crafting. Already have all the sharpening know-how I’d need

I need to remove some rust from mine... Left it on the cutting board on what I thought was a dry towel overnight

Oh damn!! Yeah I need to not use mine while drunk or I’ll prob just leave it out. Anywho thanks for all the info haha love it, I will consult you before my next one!

Ps how did you feel when the cook asked to use your new vg10 knife for the butternut squash haha. What a rude thing to ask the temp!
