I have just ordered a set of the richardson Kyu knives as well...the RRP seems way high compared to what they are actually selling for
but they look decent quality and should be better than the ones I have sitting in the drawer at the moment
somebody asked about the rockwell rating on these ones... HRC 58

A lot of people get very upset about tax evasion, which is what this is.

I was thinking of treating myself to a new chef's knife, since the one I have is an el-cheapo Ikea one, and barely gets used compared to my nice utility (which can be a bit awkward for some bigger jobs).
Then I stumbled across these:

Really impressed with the Robert Welch Signature Santoku knife I got from Lakeland, great for a mid-price knife.

my richardson kyu knives have arrived..and I have to say for the 51 quid I have paid for the set, they feel lovely
seamless feeling handles, sturdy blades and a nice looking block

These are the kinds of knives that are too nice to actually use, I still have my Kanetsune Santoku I bought a few years ago, serving me well still.

haha just noticed on the Great British bake-off they are using my new knife set as their equipment...suprised it hasn't been used in their advertising more!

Interesting thread this! Like someone earlier in the thread, I've got a full set of Sabatier knives but I haven't been that impressed with how they have worn to be honest, they really don't keep a good edge. The set of Kitchen Devils knives that my missus has though (and I'll admit, I immediately judged as being rubbish) are excellent, and in 6 months of regular use can still cut meat and veg just by looking at them.
I think I'm going to put the Sabatiers on a radial whetstone to get them back into shape and see how they fare then, but how do other people find them?

Still toying with the idea of a 17cm Wüsthof classic Santoku or the 15cm Wüsthof Classic Cooks Knife. I like the idea of a Santouku but never tried one and at the moment my 15cm Victorinox cooks knife is my go-to knife but want to replace it.

Ah. My knowledge coming to the fore there
. I'll see if they are marked - they're a black (composite?) handle with three metal discs in each side.

Only mark I can find on them other than "sabatier" is a lower case "r", which is a smooth sans-serif design. Not sure what they are?
Bought myself a steel today to get some regular maintenance going.

That'd just wind me up - I'd think it was dirty all the time!
lol, I would feel the same way.

Been after one of these knifes for a while. I'm a fan of ceramic knives and almost bought one last time I was in Tokyo. Kyocera make the best ones.
It is the sharpest knife I've ever handled!
