Damascus doesn't mean chit actually, a solid blade is stronger but it looks cool.

The core blade steel is what is actually important. But unless your a chef knife snob you won't really understand what all the difference in.

Here is a Damascus I have for you. 101 layers of sg2 yaxell gou Chinese style vegetable clever, but it's actually more like an overgrown nikiri.

Nice knives m8.

I have heard the high carbon steel the Japanese use chips much easier than stainless so you have to be carefull cutting into bone etc. I've also heard they are harder to sharpen but hold the edge much longer (unless you chip it).

Thoughts?
Damn

It really all depends on the steel type and how it's forged. The thing is to use the right knife for the job and know what your doing.

There are some pretty amazing new super steels available these days.

To answer your question yes and no. It's really much more specific than that. There are literally about 20 types of steel commonly used in quality chef knives.

It's hand hammered and forged core super blue steel with protective stainless cladding for strength and flexibility. The carbonized finish is left on after forging. It provides protection and better food release. Just one of the styles japanese knives are finish in.

The grinding and sharpening reveals the sandwich layers around the core steel, you get a cool look.

I have a bunch of high end japanese whet stones and can get knives razor sharp.

1000,5000,8000,12000 is the stone progression I will use . After that 12000 mirror polish on the edge, it lasts a long time and is faking scary sharp.

For watermelon I would use a much bigger knife.
Probably my 12 inch gyuto. Or large Chinese clever.

This knife is primarily for cutting sushi at home, rolls, sashimi, battera,poke.

Really depends on your usage.

It's a certain kind of satisfaction using the perfect knife for the task at hand. While you could use a different knife and achieve ok results.


Also consider that a professional chef knife skills allow to prep and cut foods much faster..
Sharp correct knife for job is more efficient.

Using basic house kitchen knives for me would be a handicap. I wouldn't be able to prep much faster than the average house wife.

I can debone and process a whole chicken in less than 2 minutes with a good knife.
