  $149.95 is it too bad for the 24cm chef knife (aka gyuto). These are a much better buy than a $200-300 5-knife block set for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen knives.

  Not really a good price, can always be had $96 from this website.

  Also there is no mention on the local stock being VG10 steel. The FU series (globalkitchenjapan) are VG10, whereas the TF series (kitchenwarehouse) doesn't say specifically the steel. I am confident this will be an inferior product.

  They also have a cheaper range with VG10 steel if you want to save a bit. The handles are not as nice.

  Also if you don't like the santoku shape, gyuto is the same price.

  The FU-803 is the best bang for buck premium knife I've ever owned.

  Tojiro vg10 are good, but this knife is quite small for the price.

  It is a good workhorse but I've been finding the lack of refinement on the edges leads me to get soreness around the middle finger during longer prep sessions

  Must be a lot of professional chefs on ozbargain paying $100 - $200 per knife. Way too much for majority of people. Butchers don’t even use this level of knife. Too many people watching Masterchef thinking they must have the best steel to cut their woolies steak .

    A quality knife will last most home users the better part of their lifetime if looked after. Some people will notice the difference in a well designed and well made knife and are happy to fork out the money. $200 over even just 20 years is fairly insignificant when you look at cost per year.

    Many butchers and profession chefs don't have time to treat their knives well and will generally use cheaper knives that regularly are replaced and they wear out.

    Maybe if you have no idea about decent knives or no interest then it may just be best for you to move on rather than troll.

      $30 over 20 years is still a lot less.

      I buy cheap knives, it just means I need to sharpen them more often. It also means I can use them to puncture a hole in something, pry frozen things apart and a whole lot of silly crap that would horrify a shun owner if I did it with their knives. I have an expensive knife too, it's nice to have something you know is pretty much always sharp, but I have just one, it gets the least use and cost by far the most. Not sure it was worth it.

      Most importantly, I rarely buy a knife online. You can tell instantly if you'll like it based on how it sits in your hand and for all the claims of "balanced", that differs from person to person (especially if the handle is too big or too small). It's not a throwing knife, it doesn't necessarily need centre balance to be comfortable.

        That's if you keep a $30 knife for 20 years…especially if it's being used for tasks the knife isn't designed for.

        $10/year vs $1.50/year. If $8.50 over a year is really a lot to you buddy then stick with it.

        and for all the claims of "balanced", that differs from person to person (especially if the handle is too big or too small).
        It's not a throwing knife, it doesn't necessarily need centre balance to be comfortable.

        Balance is physics, nothing more. It really has very little to do with hand shape/size and more to do with hand position for your grip.

        If you can't tell any difference in a well balanced knife then that's okay but don't run around shit canning people who do and want to go throwing around outrageous sums like $8.50 a year for the pleasure.

        You could go off with blacknuts and have a little troll party together.

          @OzBragain: You caught me. 6 years ago I joined these forums, innocent on the face of it but with a dark secret lurking behind me. For years, I posted comments, talked about deals, posted a handful of deals myself, but all the while I was waiting for this moment to dive deep into the comments on a thread no one really cares about and troll everyone who is thinking of buying a high quality expensive knife with fake news about how cheap knives can sometimes be a better option.

          Or, ya know, it's just my opinion on knives. Doesn't sounds as interesting though.

    The main thing that makes knives expensive after handmade craftsmanship type $$ is the exoctic-ness of the steel. The desirability of these steels is their hardness. The biggest problem with hardness is brittleness, and if you are picking a fight with a bony animal carcass, the last thing you want when you slam the edge into bones is hardness.

    The chefs that work in my cafe use $5 kiwi brand knives, and they are high quality chefs. They do the job. I happen to like the expensive ones.

  Love a good Santoku. For those commenting on the size - most Santoku's are 16-17cm in blade size, like this. I use my fluted Santoku at least as much as my 20cm Chef's knife and always for slicing vege's or anything else that requires fine slicing and would otherwise be inclined to stick to the blade after slicing.

  For anyone interested in this or anything else at Kitchen Warehouse, a further $15 off with promo code WELCOME-T8S3.
