Nicest steak knives

[Joss]

What do you think are the absolute nicest steak knives, either production or a standard custom line? I would think the Shun ones maybe? Or the Schaaf?

Edited to take out the pointless sorry photo. See below for a better view.

That photo sure didn't turn out well - bad lighting and I made it too small. If anyone wants photos I can email them. If anyone wants to host them so they show up right here, that would be fine as well. I have no interest in it other than to display Davids fine work and show what can be done if you just ask the right person

I'll host them, I'd love to see David's work (I own two of his knives; love 'em). Email the pics to: dylan-d@comcast.net

WoW! - are those the latest hi-tech premium/exotic cardboard blades?

How do they perform compared to S30V?

I would say that S30V beats them a little in edge retention, but I like the fact that when these get dull, I just slip a new cardboard blade right over the steel blade retainer and it's like a factory fresh blade without having to get the Edge Pro out! They do get a little soggy if the steaks are really juicy...

Seriously, I will try to take a photo with the blades uncovered. I actually took that one so I can remember what wood each is once I have lost the covers in years to come. I plan on passing these down to my boys.

Thanks to Dylan for hosting this for me.
