I know that bob would probably never read this. But if you do: Thank you so much for making these knifes attainable for normal people. Your 10" chefs knife made me want to cook more. It brings me joy every day. The ergonomics are just so perfect.

My first serious knife was an 8" essential. That thing was great. Ended up gifting that to a friend who helped me rediscover the joy of cooking many years later.

@@wilkamania I had 3-4 8" knifes before I realized that that is too little usable blade for me (and my arms are too long) I have better leverage with a 10" and I really love chines chefs knifes these days. I'm curious for one of the slimmer 10" to go crazy on garlic with the tip like the pro chefs do.

@@philipp594 they have a slimmer 10" now? I've been looking for my "Final Knife" (I know I know...lol...) and noticed there was an 8" Narrow Damascus for $400ish. I had a 10" meiji but it wasn't really for me... the kramer handles really complete the experience for me lol. I've been tossing round the idea of a 10" Essential since I already have a few carbon knives, including a Chinese Cleaver, 240mm sujihiki, and 240 gyuto.

Beautiful blades

Did anyone notice that he is not holding the 2.0? He is holding the 1.0 but he is acting like it is the 2.0 for some reason. You can tell by the curved base of the blade near his index finger. The 2. doesn't have that kind of curvature.

At the beginning he talks about how they changed from the original, that he's holding, to the 2.0. Listen first, type later.

The english used is not clear. “This design”, “this knife”, etc etc. “Handle is still essentially the same and all the features are still there.” Nope… They got rid of the finger cut-out, an iconic part of the design.

I have my 10 inch 2.0 now to go with my carbon 1.0 :). I love it. And I’m glad you went with micarta due to the wood handle shrinking on the original. I oil my original constantly and the handle still shrunk. Not sure if there’s a way to stop it. It doesn’t effect its function though at all luckily.

@@AntwonDaBusiness awesome stuff. I think 8" chef model will fit my needs but started getting doubts after reading multiple posts about people returning it for the 10" because the longer flat surface and claims that it is more balanced that the 8". It is just fears of missing out considering I only want to buy one knife. Would you say you enjoy the 8" chef model more than the 10" model? Sadly I don't have a store around to hold both in hand.

Would you sell your 8inch? Or trade for the 8inch 2.0? I'll buy one new to replace yours. I just like the look of the original more.

That’s very silly, micarta is tougher, won’t shrink or expand or absorb foreign odors or bacteria. It’s like stabilized wood but with linen as the material.

Has wood, no buy. I'd much, MUCH rather have micarta. It is a far superior material for knife handles. Micarta will literally last 100 years whereas the wood will eventually fade/crack/shrink....probably make it 15 years tops.
