Fallkniven K2 Santoku Fixed Blade Knife Black vs Zwilling Professional S 8"

This is still my run. This is the same stuff that the the survival knives are made of. Just it's. It's smooth, I'm not sort of bubbly or nobly

By contrast, the Henkels chef knife is larger, heavier, stiffer, harder, a real Germanic sort of approach: highly crafted but without subtlety -- the thing is case-hardened (cold-hardened) so it's rigid not flexible at all, and needs a special high-hardness sharpening steel to keep it sharp (when it needs sharpening, don't know how long the edge will last.) It works impressively well for meat, nothing stands in its way; but the blade is somewhat convex in shape, so things stick to it a bit more and it takes a little more pressure to cut veggies etc. The knife feels as if it were made to suit a large powerful chef with big hands, so a definite feeling of overkill in moderate use. By comparison, the old french Sabatier knife was for surgeons, this new Henkels knife is for butchers
