Japanese Kitchen Knives?!


Question: Japanese Kitchen Knives!?
What makes Japanese kitchen knives worth between
$300 up to OVER a THOUSAND DOLLARS for one knife!?

I was reading an article about cooking by a chef and he
talks about knives:

"I personally prefer Japanese steel in my knives but there are also some excellent quality European knives as well!. For those with the big budget I strongly recommend Hattori knives (go for the HD or KD series - they will cost upwards of $300 a knife)!. The knife pictured above is a 27cm Hattori KD Chef’s Knife ($1,175)!."

Can anyone explain to me why I should buy a $300!. knife
when to me, a $8!.00 knife seems to suffice!? And it last
for years too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Salutations,
The knives you are talking about, are made by hand!. A time consuming and difficult procedure, usually undertaken by a master!. the quality is what you are paying for!. Those knives are about as related to your $8 knife as a go-cart is related to a Porshe!. either one will do the job, but the discriminating professional will go for Quality!. I do bet, However, if you invest in the expensive knife, you'll have something to pass on to future cooks!. The $8 may last a bit, but I bet the more you try to Sharpen it the worse it will work!. I personally have both kinds of tools in my kit!. the choice is yours!. CheersWww@FoodAQ@Com
