I have a Yaxell Super Gou in stainless (which cost something ridiculous), and a carbon steel Petty which I keep at work for daily use.
The Petty takes an edge and keeps it very well with regular and minimal honing.
In comparison, the Super Gou disappoints. It just annoys.
I am drawn towards paying Blenheim Forge a visit and picking up a Santoku from them.
I did their knife sharpening course at the beginning of 2020, just before everything shut down.
My grandfather showed me how to sharpen tools when I was a kid. I thought he'd taught me the business. How wrong I was. Their sharpening course took the edge of my blades to a totally different level.
