browser on Scanpan Commercial 5-Piece Cookware Set $179 VIC/SA/TAS C&C / in-Store (Sold Out for Delivery) @ Minimax

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.

pingponged on Yaxell Taishi Santoku Knife 16.5cm $99.95 + $9.90 Delivery (Free with $100 Spend) @ Kitchen Warehouse

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

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…

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…

Unless you live in a humid environment (i.e. QLD or NT), I wouldn't bother oiling the knife after each use to deter rusting.

It's interesting that the Minamoto Kanemasa has the same performance and laser grind given the [choil shot looks like…

They’re pretty thick, would recommend slimmer belts for formal clothing if you have belt loops.

Unlikely to find a better cost/performance ratio than this imo, apart from a takamura r2 (prone to chipping if you're not careful)
