Hi guys...I promessed you that I was going to keep you all updated on my cutlery order, and finally a box from "The epicurean edge" arrived, containing my Mac Mighty chef's knife, an Idahone 12" fine" ceramic honing rod , an Oishi waterstone (1000-6000), a Nagura stone and a stone holder.
Thanks for the great advice BDL, Chris Lehrer and LennyD. Now my it's my turn on giving you and everybody else the feedback and an honest review about this fine piece.
My first impression is "wow" /img/vbsmilies/smilies/eek.gif the knife oozes quality, quite different from my Global, Whustoff and Forshners (Victorinox). It's too late and I'm not in the restaurant and I know that if I go to the fridge and start chopping I'll get too pumped up and will not be able to sleep, so, tomorrow I'll start working with it to see if the knife (and me) can walk the talk.
The knife came impecably packed in a nice box and so far I cannot find any chip or micro dent, the handle looks a bit small but once in the palm of my hand feels like custom made when I "pinch grip" it (After some hours of chopping and slicing I'll confirm my impression)
The "Börg" stone holder also looks like a very stiff and professional holder, it caused me a very good first impression. And the stone looks... Well...Like a stone. But I can see that has the borders properly flatted. I'll find out that very soon too.
Ok Guys, it's bed time, but I'll keep you posted, thanks for all your good advices.
Best regards.
Luis
