Shun dual core vg10 vs Miyabi black zdp 189

[insidiousaudio]

I have a shun Nagare 8" chef knife and Miyabi black 5000 67 zdp. Today I did some cut test. The Miyabi in new the shun a year old. I hit the shun with a ceramic stone and green compound by hand and cut several bell peppers which I find to be a very good test and the shun hands down was smoother not matter the technique.

Huge win for the shun. Now I think I'll get a kiju for 250 and the edge retention I'm lacking will be perfect. I've only sharpened my shun 3 times in a year. No compression 275 vs 400. Shun really is the best mass produced knives

I have the Shun Nagare santoku, and several other Shun dual cores. I also strop with green compound. Performance is very similar to my sg2 powder steel knives. The only problem I have with my dual cores is that they are so beautiful, I'm instinctively challenged to be a little extra careful when I use them.
