Chris Reeve Sikayo Chef Knife?

[chenn]

Has any actually handled on of theses?
How does it feel? the handles look to be skinny and thin?

It it easy to maintain that Chiseled edge blade profile.

I would like to try one out but havnt seen them for sale in many places.

I have never handled one but I ordered the last one on New Graham last Friday. I'm really looking forward to getting it this week (hopefully).

Did you get the 6.5 or 9? Post here when you get it please.

I ordered the 6.5 and I'll certainly post a pic and thoughts once I receive it.

I'm not a kitchen cutlery expert and the only other decent knife I own is a Ken Onion Shun chef's knife (8 inch), so take my thoughts with a grain of salt...

Yes, please post pictures! I've always been intrested in this knife.

I have been wanting to get the 6.5" one and am hoping to see one on ebay soon as I have lots of ebay bucks to spend. The 9" is way too big for me to use, I think the 6.5" will be a good all around kitchen knife overall.


There was a thread awhile back that showed the Sikayo in action.

The Sikayo arrived this afternoon and I think it's incredible. It seems to be even sharper than my Shun and it feels great in the hand. The handle material is unique though I'm not at all familiar with it. All I know is that it is supposed to be very heat resistant.

I haven't had a chance put it through any tough chopping exercies yet but I have no doubt that it will exceed my already high expectations.

Here is a pic just before it took on its first adversary during tonight's Carne Guisada prep.

Wonder if they're thin enough to cut sushi...
