For $60.00, this is likely worth it. There are a couple of things that bother me, however. The HRC is listed as 58-62. Does this mean that the HT is lackluster, or could it mean that the blade is differentially hardened? I have never seen a range like this on an ESEE who is well known for doing this to their 1095 blades. An angle this narrow will not be supported by AUS-10 at HRC 58. Here is a quote from knarfeng, a moderator on BladeForums, "AUS 10 should be roughly equivalent to VG10, 440C, or N690 as all four have the same carbon content. By roughly equivalent, that is all three hold an edge better than 440B, AUS8; but not as well as ATS34, 154CM and above. " (This was from 2006) I may take a look at Chefsknivestogo.com to see if this has any reviews. I would also like to know that the second steel is in the damascus. Or is it simply pretending to be damascus. Caveat cheftor.

Oh, I'm fine with that being the process......I just have to make myself start practicing on less expensive things before attempting the final project lol
Don't start with the best blade I have, and one of the most expensive woods I had on hand, the one I wanted to be in the final project.
I should've practiced this multiple times with cheap wood until I worked out the kinks.....but that's always less fun lol
There was one more I did after this. Fitment at the base of the tang was MUCH better (but still not quite perfect). Thickness of the "spine strip" fit the thickness of the tang way better too, so no need to fill massive internal gaps with epoxy.

No surprise another product made in China with zero disclosure from Massdrop. Yes as usual they want to hide this from consumers.

Received mine a little while back. Very decently finished, nice balance, and a reasonable edge out of the box (but that can easily be improved with a few minutes on the water stones). Packing and presentation is lovely. Would be a really nice gift for someone new to "nicer" cooking knives. Happy with mine.

My mom loves cooking, so I got her the 8" Chef's knife. Think she'll be happy?

dgreekstallionI might look for a different choice. This knife is made in China.

anteck7Reading the information at Amazon indicates that they are made from Japanese steel in a China factory.

I have the 9.5" and 8" chef's knives. They are beautiful and well made knives that came wickedly sharp out of the box.
I am looking to complete the collection and really wish they were offering the 6" Boning Fillet knife here.
Price wise the knives offered here vary a little each way from Amazon at the moment.
The 3.5" Paring knife is $6 less here.
The 6" Utility knife is $10 more here.
The 5.5" Santoku is $1 more here.
The 8" Chef is $10 less here.
