You reckon the CCK is better quality compared to the shibazi?
I mean I actually gravitate towards the Victorinox cleaver most often these days. A bit thinner, and the plastic grippy handle means I can mistreat it more.
Yeah, much better steel and grind. Because its ground quite thin things do stick rather badly. I wouldn't shy away from anything Victorinox but there cleavers are too small.
They're great. They cut through food with the weight. I never touch the CCK or Sentan now. Nor the shabazi but that's not up there in quality.
I love my Moritaka but I can see why sugimoto are very popular. I don't like the belly but the edge geometry is pretty much perfect.
