I've really gotta break down and buy one of these. For some reason I always end up talking myself into another knife of some kind. Thanks for the vid. Next time I wont be passing it over.

I really have to break down and buy Roseta Stone and figure out what he really said.

Yeah, I don't speak Mandarin worth a damn.

Is that the factory edge? The Full Flat grind helps no doubt.

Hollow grind it is, and I don't think that was Mandarin, it sounded middle Eastern.

Try Russian. The рез картона: at the top gives it away and I could tell by listening to it that it is. Plus if you go to the actual YouTube page, Google asks if you want to translate from Russian to English.

The Vantage blade is hollow-ground. And yep, the video is Russian.
Looks like he put his own edge on the blade, the bevel is pretty wide and it's quite a bit more polished than the factory edges on any of my Vantages. I've been having fun reprofiling the edge on my Vantage to a shallow-ish convex edge. I'm stropping-challenged with v-edges, but I can strop my Vantage's convex edge quite easily. Boy is the Vantage an even better looker with a mirror-polished edge

I always make up an alternate dialog when a vid is in a foriegn language. For this one I imagined that it was a cooking show. Cardboard Salad anyone?
I think the Vantage line is impressive. No matter what model you choose it seems to be a great value. Still, I need to add a 110 to my stable before I seriously consider a Vantage. I'm shure that most of you understand.
