Why such a high price? I've just been looking on Japanese Chefs Knives: You can get pairing knives there, made out of uber steels that have been repeatedly folded to give the 'Damascus' look for far less. Japanese labour rates aren't that much different from ours are they, certainly not at the Chinese sweatshop level.

I guess because these are 100% hand made. He only makes a small number of knives, so I suppose thats why he keeps his price high.

I have 2 folded steel knifes (Saiun brand from japanesechefsknives.com) and they are brilliant.

And all those tats don't pay for themselves you know Wonder if he wrote the BLOK knuckles off as Promotional Material?

I was surprised though, I thought these Blok knives were supposed to be folded? the article I read said that they were just laser cut tempered and cooled?

I didn't see any folding in the video.

Ugly and expensive. Better be good.

Then you have the usual theme of a wholesome rugged look fella, beard and tattoos as per the current recipe, the casual attitude, the look of the website, style of pictures, the logo etc etc

It's all getting a bit boring no?

Handmade tax, but at least he enjoys it.

Very nice

How do you find the profile on the Chef's for rocking. Looks to have a longish flat section
