[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1352730, member: 257"] That's why I like this place so much. I'm always learning new things. I did notice on their web page (which I went hunting for after your post) that they use Damascus VG-10 steel, so I guess that means fully Damascus while Shun is Damascus clad? As thin as the knives are that's some trick. On the Shun's there's a little wordsmithing in their ad copy that call it composite steel. While the "classic" handle design I have is micarta, they have other styles too (pakkawood and thermoplastic elastomer). I'll stick with micarta, TYVM. None of this (new info for me) is meant to counter what KM said. Just details amplifying them. The pricing on the Itamae floored me until I used a currency converter and learned that their 1400R chef's knife was ~$103.00 US. That's on par for pricing assuming shipping and import tax aren't crazy. Itamae home page justifiably bookmarked. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
