I would probably treat the small chips like unique marks on knives which are produced in small numbers (I'm sure chips almost never happen in mass-produced stuff). <br />I think I have forgotten to tell you I also bought a big deba from Kai, the brand you have advised as the acceptable from the cheap ones (I pair raw chicken very often: actually every second week... so it proved very useful, but it's also great with fish filleting). I love both knives I bought thanks to you (the previous was a European shape: chef's knife). Thank you once more for the recommendation and very big help.<br />Maybe next time I go to Tokyo I can buy something more expensive, now that I know I enjoy so much the shape of Japanese knives...<br />Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-63549622355512519102014-06-09T20:17:24.889+09:002014-06-09T20:17:24.889+09:00Kiki: That's too bad!

I had to do some work with the stones to get rid of it. The steel is really soft. But I am still very satisfied with the knife.Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.com
