I’ve been shopping for a new Chef’s knife with a budget ~$100-$150 and was waiting for a deal on a Mac Professional or Shun Premier. Came across this Yaxell Ran knife on Cutlery and More that’s on sale for $99.95 plus another 20% off in the cart, making it $79.96.
Wasn’t able to find many reviews on the Yaxell brand, but those that I did find were quite complementary. Not sure how well it would compare to the Mac/Shun, but for 40% less money, this seems like a great knife.
