I am looking at getting an Allday Santoku. Aware there is a hipster tax but a fan of the recycled element and look etc etc. Just wondered if anyone had thoughts on UK forged vs Japanese blades? Pros and cons of each? Thanks 🙏🏼 Japanese blade https://www.alldaygoods.co.uk/products/sk4-santoku-maldon UK forged https://www.alldaygoods.co.uk/products/nw-forged-santoku-maldon
I'm a big fan of 52100 and from what I understand it's easier to heat treat than a lot of steels that makes it more consistent between makers.
