I have a good selection of the Kai-Shun knives.They are a hightech material san-mai(three layer construction-high carbon center steel,low or medium steel slabs on the outside) not Damascus but folded steel--in this case stainless.They hold an edge real well and can be hard to sharpen unless you use some of the modern ceramic waterstones(the ceramic rods are good for a touch up)Price wise ok,about what ive seen them on "sale" for

I have 3 that I use all the time, paring, large chopper and a slicer 6". They hold an edge and feel great in your hand. They do all the work and would use nothing else. They are costly but man are they great knives!!!
