I will never spend $500 for kitchen knive, because I know it does not cost so much.

-He's not the top - and he knows it. Respect.
-He doesn't use specific alloys. No-respect.
-I agree that he's santokus are too thick - but he knows it. And it is more comfortable for the body not to the completely straight, but that's what I think.
-I think this video should be under documentary.
-And I do think you need 1 more knife in the kitchen - a saw knife.. you konw.. for hard dry things, which are ruined with pressure. Like fresh bread. Though a bread knife is not so versatile comparing to one with smaller gaps between those saw things. you know what I mean.
-In my knife I need 7 things for it to be perfect for everything.
1. The strong kind of metal. More fragile than elastic.
2. A little elasticity.
3. Curved body.
4. Hard plastic or ceramic handle.
5. So that the handle is firmly attached and even after 10 years doesn't seep.
6. For the handle to be as it's shown in the video.
7. Very important for it to be thin. Otherwise you can't cut like a boss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjWkO9A-Ckk
That's kind of a knife you can do everything there is in the kitchen, except of course things for which a small knife is more comfortable.
By the way - never forget that if your knife is dull, you can always sharpen it against anything. A cup, your fridge, or even wood. I always sharpen my favorite knife against my leas favorite one

He seems to be almost on the brink of burping on many occasions.

#4 The one guy is a blacksmith who made a crude knife out of steel that was not made of an alloy to be used for knife making.
The other guy is a knife maker who uses Crucible steel that is alloyed to be good for knife making....see the difference?

See the knives of John Neeman. I will agree one knife cost $500 if it is entirely hand made.

You do realize that you're making me, if not most of us, doubt our career choices for not becoming a blacksmith of some sort.
