Best praise vs top criticism for Misono UX10 Gyuto 210mm
“I suggest you consult with Mark at Chefknivestogo, Bernal Cutlery or even Korin. The industry has changed a bit in terms of a new wave of apprentices and independent knife makers coming on to the scene. $1500 seems like a decent budget to me. Really depends. If you go for a line by Kurosaki - hes a young master that basically makes functional art. But you will exceed your budget quickly. I own two pieces of his and i love them to do death but rarely use them. It’s going to be a family heirloom and so Id rather beat the hell out of my misono ux10 or global chef knife. To each his/her own!”
“I would recommend the xinzuo 440c. it’s comfortable, full tang, amazing oxidation resistance, really easy to sharpen, you can as a saya with it and for a newbie it will teach him for what to look in a knife, I would buy it over Tojiro basic, tojiro dp and misono ux10 are another story. I would try to avoid fibrox, for the money it’s no longer competitive on the market right now, Mercer clad it’s more fun to have.”
