Better late and never. For
Better late and never. For the past decade, I have been wanting to upgrade my J.A. Henkel Santoku knife. After contemplating and just resorting to having my knives sharpened, I decided to get a Hatsukokoro Hayabusa with an SG2 blade and maple octagon handle.
At first, being used to European handles, I was worried that my grip on the knife would feel awkward, and unable to control it. I was wrong. I now owned it for over a month and can not express my satisfaction when cutting vegetables and thinly slicing a roast to make cheesesteaks. The feel and weight is just right that I do not have to make as much effort in cutting various stuff.
This is my second knife purchased from The Cooks Edge, and won't be the last. I usually drop my old knives to be sharpened or stop in the store to say hello, window shop, and get some information from Marcel.
Overall am very satisfied with my purchase and know that my purchase is always backed by the knowledge shared with me by the wonderful staff.
