    I'm confused - you say $25 for a Miyamoto knife at Myer, but the link goes to a $2 knife at Nisbets? Seems like a possible pricing error too…

      Sorry mate, i just fixed the link

      • No problems, that makes sense now. Good deal on a few of their knives if the RRP is kosher.

  • Makes meals fit for an Italian plumber!

    (Sorry, couldn't resist)

    • look like this one is a fake japanese knife ;(

      • Not going to lie though, the claimed Pakka Wood handle on my "ChefX Pairing knife" looks identical to my Shun Classic.

        Thinking to pull the pin on this as a spare house knife. Although, the pairing knife does need weekly to bi-weekly attention if used daily.

        I mean it's not rubbish steel. It's going to be on spec, so won't rust (e.g. they didn't just fake the amount of Cr in it). It's simply on the soft side, so will get blunt quite fast. if you use a fairly rough honing steel, that'll perk up the edge so most people find it sharp again - it means you dont have to use stones or get them sharpened elsewhere.

        Having said that would I spend $25 on a knife? no, but I'm fortunate enough I can afford say a global chef and enjoy it.

    For anyone who’s curious, in the current climate genuine Japanese chefs knives have experienced a surge in demand due to more people cooking at home. Most genuine ‘low-end’ Japanese chefs knives (Santoku, Gyutou) are priced between $100-$150 as a result.

    And for anyone looking for a budget knife, i would recommend the kiwi branded knives over this as they are widely regarded as the best budget knives you could purchase. Simply find them on eBay, amazon or any Asian grocery store (they tend to sell them).

  • "Stainless steel grade 420J2 is inexpensive and highly corrosion resistant steel. It has good corrosion resistance in mild atmosphere as well as domestic and industrial environments."

    • global knives use a softer steel because they add more chromium for rust resistance …… everything has trade offs …..50crmov15 is similar to steel used in german chef knives like wursthoff and henkel …… but the miyamoto is low in carbon, so not a brittle blade but it won’t hold its edge for long ….. trade offs are you get edge retention but knife chips easy or pits or you get a soft blade with low edge retention but it doesn’t chip or pit easy ……. seems it only hardens to 56hrc ….. most german knives are 56hrc ….. japanese knives like shun are about 60hrc but chip easier ……. it’s $25 which is actually not bad but it’s in the league of aldi , ikea, etc not a shun copy ……shun use VG10 steel, and there are chinese copies with the same steel.

      you want sharp ….. miyabi 5000MCD67 ….. but $400 per knife …..66HRC ……

      • The globals will be a tad harder than these. These will be 54-56ish, the globals 56-58. Still on the soft side, but noticeably harder than these. The globals will keep what most people would call a "sharp edge" for quite a while, these won't really at all.

  • Can't beat the 63-layer Japanese VG10 steel Damascus knives with HRC of at least 58 with Pakka wood handle :)
