Wow!
I found the Wustoff to be the best since 1973. Only the Felix (Soligen)was equal. I hand sharpen our knives and I have a bald spot on my left wrist where I test the sharpness.
Several other knives have been okay but nothing compares to the Felix and Wustoff.
I must try this brand you have introduced. I use several different methods to sharpen. everything from stones of varying grits to diamond stones and Japanese soft wet stones.
I began to notice new Japanese knives some 10 years ago. I never did much research on those. Now I feel I need to.
Cheers and thanks Clive
