I have now been about one week the Cermax Santoku and the utility knife. Unlike the one Japanese brand that I ordered directly from Seki, both came Henckel / twin with the expected sharpness and processing of. The focus has been confirmed test both in body hair-cut test and the "tomato without pressure". The processing of the handle and the blade looks perfect for me. (I have the unnamed Japanese knives returned because it unfortunately looked as if it did not come from the master blacksmith but from the xxx workshop.) What I can not stand and understand the Razorbeard. Practical use I can not see. He destroyed my towel when drying off and sometimes my skin, if I'm not careful. I've watched some Japanese manufacturers. The only person who takes this into consideration and the beard rounds, Kai / Shun is. I have previously lived with European knives and the beard was never a nuisance. There was never a beard there. Only later I noticed that basically almost all Japanese knives have this backhand tip. If someone should see a purpose, he would comment on that please. The blades are seriously very good and beautiful. But the beard tip weggesäbelt. Open bottles can not be so. And I can see it coming, that my daughter is cut open it. TWIN TWIN 30867180 Cermax Santoku
