I've picked up a few of these over the years. Prices have gone up (as they do) but the product is good.

Too late to cancel order or return?

Bought one of these from last time. Good piece of kit but haven't used it as much as I thought I would... on par for my ozb decisions.

The KnS cleaver is super nice btw, but not cheap, handle is a bit large. My best cleaver by far is a xinguo honyaki but that’s a…

Fwiw my CCK is mega thick compared to my Shibazi. You're probably better off buying a few off Amazon and keeping the one with the best…

Yeah it’s better for cutting through bones. The grind on this one is so thick it can’t dice produce at all plus it’s extremely heavy.…

You can, and you could also smash garlic into mince with this style of knife. I think a smaller knife would be easier use in general…

No. This is a vegetable cleaver, noting cleavers are just a shape. I’ve been using this one for the past few years. Don’t think it’s…

Cleaver is a shape. There are Chinese cleavers designed for bones etc. but not this one. For bones, I'd just get whatever's cheapest.…

I have one of these and I'd use it on pumpkin. That said, I'd prefer using my beater western knives instead.

Cleaver is a shape. There are Chinese cleavers designed for bones etc. but not this one. Some chefs, probably the majority, given China's…

I’m happy with the Pyrex snapware stuff. I just microwave with paper towel covering the container without the lid. While it doesn’t…

> Two 18/10 stainless steel layers with a heat radiant aluminum core deliver even cooking from every side Without looking too deeply into…

I couldn’t find any info re. how thick the copper layer is, so it might be quite decorative especially given how cheap they are compared…

it does

Looks like a disc base and not clad in the sidewalls. Arguably better for induction as you don't have inefficient gas flames creeping over…

Worked for me as well. Membership expired a year ago.

Or a victorinox/mercer. I generally won’t buy a knife online if there’s no choil shot. I assume the yaxell will be a thick wedgy boi.

better conductivity means less hotspots lol, conductivity is also better for responsive temperature control

Preheat and cook at the right temperature lol, skill issue for sure.

Most stainless pans would last a lifetime I’d imagine. It could cook food better compared to lower quality cookware with more even heat…

have been wearing these for a few years, can recommend, feels more secure than slides or flip flops.

Like anyone else with gear acquisition syndrome, I’ve definitely got more knives than I need and performance doesn’t really matter in…

I think it has a "terrible grind" because the choil example I'm seeing off the reddit post is so incredibly thick (i.e. bad). You may have…

The KC702 has a [terrible…

Fwiw a bunka often evolves into an unintentional nakiri. I've heard no shortage of stories of k-tip profiles tipping accidentally including…

It's not a bargain. It's an $80 knife that performs worse than a similarly priced [Tojiro](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/827243) with…

It could be the use of asymmetry to reduce the thickness overall to improve cutting performance and counter steer, this is a good forum…

I think it's a reasonable price for a knife. I do not think that you're getting similar performance to the Konosuke HD2 ($400) that OP has…

No doubt the profiles look similar. I'm very curious that they perform similar given the dramatic difference in the thickness between that…
