Fair enough! I was thinking of the 9" chef's, so the size difference aside hopefully it's an easy comparison to the vital since they're similiar in profile. Good to know about the thinner handle, I adored the shape of the Vitals handle but the weight was a major issue so I'll look forward to a more blade forward COB I hope. It looks like it has more of a flat spot towards the front compared to the vital, closer to a gyutou or sabatier, would you say that's accurate in person? I'm mostly a pinch gripper, primarily push and pull cuts with some rock chopping for herbs, so I like the sounds of bits being crowned. Also I'm not certain if you do the write up or can edit the description, but there's an error " Ergonomically crafted from G-10, the handle is smooth and grippy, with three polished stainless steel bolsters to hold it together. " I believe that's meant to be three polished stainless steel pins to hold it together. Thanks again!

Hi everyon! Thank you for considering this drop. This is the first product we are launching under our name from are Chinese factory. AlreadyI can see I’m not going to be able to use the Dragon name without causing confusion. I open to suggestions. Why China? Two reasons, first Japan has had and continues to have a shortage of JAPANESE knives. I just spent the last week here in Japan and hopefully we have made some headway. JAPANESE product. commands a premium price. These knives are defiantly created to show a value.
The difference between trhe the two is that the Japanese product uses Micarta for the handle and these use G10. The Japanese product also uses 3mm stock and these use 2.5mm stock, so they are lighter.
We we are excited to have Massdrop as our launching partner, and they are definitely offering a great deal. We hope you love them.

You are absolutely correct. That is what I get when I’m using a cel phone in the streets of Japan. I will redo it.

Well this just took a turn for the worse, I have several of the dragon series, several of the dragon fire series and love them all. Now there is dragon ice? You aren't helping my financial situation.

aedrillI also have the dragon and fire series but these are made in China so I wonder if Yaxell is involved at all. My Dragon Fusion is labeled Apogee on the box but the blade is imprinted with Yaxel whereas these knives actually have Apogee printed on the blade. Cutlery and more has their Nexus line, which are also made in China and of bd1n SteelSteelSteelSteel. LThese look very similar to that line. Both lines also shared the G10 western stlye handle, which I'm not really a fan of. I definitely like the Micarta better. If Yaxell does make these knives, do you think they'll have the scimitar under their own brand? I also really like this smaller santoku with what looks to have less of a belly.

"magnetic bamboo sheath (*will not fit on the fusion knife)"
Still hoping for a sheath fitting the Dragon Fusion one day :'(

In the past I was able to buy a fixed blade knive from massdrop, and was very happy with it. Maybe you should use a different cuirier company, or inform them of this.

Picked up the fillet knife. The handle is clunky compared to the Yaxell and Stone series knives. The blade isn't has flexible as I was expecting for a fillet knife. Otherwise decent knife for the price. [image]
