Blade Magazine Kitchen Knife Review: Help

[Balislinger]

I can't find my copy, but Blade mag reviewed kitchen knife sets not too long ago, and there was a pretty set with white micarta handles and I think some Japanese lettering on the blade. Could someone please dig up their copy and let me know what brand and model those were? Thanks!

Blade, June, 2007, article titled: "Top Chef Tests Top Kitchen Knives", I believe the knife you're talking about is on the cover, caption reads "VG-10 Core Damascus Chef's Knife from A.G. Russell". Article by Clifton Booth.

Hope that helps.

thx - cpr

I didn't see the story, but it sounds like Shun knives, which are VG-10 (layered kind of like demascus) and endorsed by chef Alton Brown and have some special versions, such as some designed by Brown and others by Ken Onion. They are awesome knives.
