    Thank you for that review. I am rather a sucker for good knives, so to hear about one that is half the price of the Shun knife I have been lusting after is very encouraging. I appreciate that you review stuff like this, just to make our lives bettet, not because you are getting anything out of it.

    Shun girl here. My Shun chef’s knife was a gift from my son who’s in charge of sharpening the knives in our house, and he keeps it razor sharp. He taught me how to grip the knife correctly, and to never cut on glass, marble, or plastic cutting boards. I’d love to have the chance to compare the two knives myself. This Misen knife looks good for less money. Nice review. If Roger needs any pointers on sharpening, I know a guy. :-)

    The husband buying the Shun knife = heart attack = my experience exactly, but know I am a complete convert. We have some at our regular home and at our weekend condo, too. They're so amazing. Super precise and well balanced. Thank you for explaining the difference between sharp and good--it's our responsibility to keep our knives sharp for maximum performance. It's good to know that there's a great alternative to Shun at half the price.

    Almost chuckled at being asked to do ASMR videos.
    The things that draw me to a knife are quality material, sharp (I know - sharpen it), full tang, and a nice weight. Looks like this one checks off the items on my list. I'll admit, the Shun's are all that and beautiful too. My pocketbook keeps me from caving to temptation. :-)

    Your video was very informative and I truly appreciated it. I have a set of Forschner knives that someone bought me about 8 years ago and they need sharpened. I didn’t know about not cutting on glass boards luckily I don’t have one. I would love to see a video on how to properly sharpen knives and how to treat cutting boards as mine do not last very long. I want to try this knife and see if I like it more than the ones I have!

  • @RegisheebaGeorge
    @RegisheebaGeorge 3 роки тому +1

    Hi Urvashi,
    I highly value your opinion, so I chose to watch this video. Despite having a drawer full of knives, many of which are useless, starting from the high brands to the cheapest ones that I own. To be truthful in my house there's one knife that I and my husband prefer using which probably only cost me $12 and thus far it has been loyal but needs frequent TLC i.e sharpening. Most of my cooking requires thin cut slices so I hope Santoku knives won't disappoint me but delivers what it promises.
