Are the paring and utility knives 3mm thick as well or are they thinner? Thanks.

Deaomega1214Thank you for the prompt reply - good to know that they are still much thicker than the usual VG10 knives.
Could you also let me know if the lengths of the blades mentioned is the cutting edge length or the length from the bolster? There appears to be about a half centimetre gap between the bolster and the start of the cutting edge and wanted to know if that is included in the length mentioned below. I already have a few VG 10 chef knives and I'm trying to figure out which knifes to choose to complement what I already have.

KananoI've alway designed to have the knife length the same as the cuttin edge

Deaomega1214Thanks - it'll be the 6 inch and 7and 1/2 inch knives for me then as I already have 8 inch chef and 3 inch utility knives in VG10. Wondering if we can request a custom order for a 5 and 1/5 inch chef/utility knife with the handle thickness of the larger chef knives and handle length of the shorter utility knives in 3mm thickness with appropriate chef knife proportions to fill in the role of a deba knife :)

KananoYou know, you might consider the 10". That is my favorite. Anything you can do with a smaller knife you can do with a bigger one, but not necessarily the other way. It is the first knife all chef's are taught how to use. The. fusion is also great as well.

Deaomega1214Completely agree - the 10 inch knives are the most versatile. I already have a 9.5 inch chef knife from global and another 9 inch in VG10, and they are my favourites - really don't need any other length as I can do anyhthing needed in the kitchen with them. I have not yet used my 8 inch chef as I have not really missed it. I have a 7 inch utility that does the small knife work at times and an 8.5 inch $5 chopper with a bamboo handle picked up in my travels in Laos that can take a beating, sharpens very easily, doesn't chip and loves chicken and pork and mutton bones! That said, I would love to add the fusion to the deal but don't see it in the options for adding an extra knife.
The 6 inch and 7.5 inch will mainly be for my daughter and wife as they prefer the smaller lengths knives. I have a 5 inch utility and 6 inch santoku in a cheap Chinese steel which they like to use and these will replace them.
If it is possible to add the fusion to the deal please let me know as I would like that. Will have to think about the 10 inch chef as mine are relatively lightweight and having a heavier one at that size is really versatile. Thanks

Deaomega1214After some more research about dragon knives, I've decided to take the 8 and 10 inch chefs with the 6 inch utility to add to my 3 VG10 Yaxell knives. The shipping rate is really good for Australia! I'll wait for a Fusion mass drop to pick one up as it seems to have a separate drop by itself.
