You should try Yu Kurosaki SG2, Takamura or Shibata Kotetsu SG2, the knife's balance point, grind, heat treatment and edge geometry will be a step up from the Yaxell.

I've used this knife for about a year and a half... its pretty solid and edge has held nicely. I take care of my knives though... hand wash and dry right after each use. Yes, SG2 is better and is the...

As a home cook that has several German steel knives, I will say that I do enjoy the recent addition of a 6" Global knife (bought, in large part because we are huge Masterchef Australia fans). I find...

As a former Sushi chef of 7 years, also a knife nut. Just because your standard is low doesn't mean it should be the standard.
Problem I have with VG-10 is either it has a crappy heat treatment...

I'd also suggest the SamTheCookingGuy Nakiri knife. It's under $80 and it performs like a $100-$150 knife in my 2 months of experience with it so far. It looks like we own 2 of the same other knives...
