Go to your local Bed, Bath & Beyond and handle Shun's and Globals. Both have
edges harder and sharper than anything made in German steels. If you don't
have a BB&B then try a William Sonoma though they tend to be a touch more
expensive there and they don't carry Globals. I personally don't own any
Globals as the handles aren't comfortable to me but do have a few Shun's
including their 10" Chef's knife. I also have quite a few Japanese made
western style and traditional style knives as well as Chinese cleavers.
