Paul, thankyou for the speedy delivery.
I just want to say, The Masahrio virgin carbon steel has proved to be a much better knife than I ever expected.
The feel is very soild, yet light weight and, balanced. The edge holds beautifully after two weeks or full time kitchen grinding and must I add is also much easier to sharpen compared to the VG-10 gold Kasumi knives I use to own. This knife easily out performs all stainless steel and matches the preformance of knives double the price.
As much work as it is to keep carbon steel clean and dry at all times, the results are well worth it.
An excellent value knive I recommend to all professionals with clean discpline work habits.
I just wanted to tell you that I received my V-slicer and I am very happy with the product. A little history. I received a V-slicer, which if I remember correctly it was called a slicer-dicer, in the year 1975 as a wedding gift. I was my most priced possession. I used it on a regular basis. I must add the blades to this day have never dulled. My first slicer has now been handed down to daughter as she used it as often as I did. I can only hope that my new V-slicer will last half as long. I must admit you are the only one that sells that slicer and I could only go online to find it by it's name on my slicer. I just wanted to say thank you again.
