Thank you! this is good info. I just assumed the harder the better for edge retention and less prone to chipping. I was thinking of you when making the og post actually, almost tagged you 😄 Any thoughts on theforgedblade.com? Hanzo or rosewood set? I know two irl people who have these and they really like them but looking at the site and marketing they look more like overly designed/show over function, scammy 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I know. My zaps aren't working. It's been that way for a while and I'm just a lazy bitch. As long as they're not lying about their steel quality, they seem like decent knives. I've never used that brand personally, so I can't really say much about it. My classic wüsthof chef knife cost me around 120 when I initially bought it And I've used that knife for well over a decade now, and it's still going strong. So 5 knives for around 400 kind of seems like a deal.
