Field Notes
The 240mm VG-10 core holds a terrifying edge through 500 covers of prep. The distal taper makes root vegetables separate without wedging.
Marcus Vance, Executive Chef — Chicago, IL (Meridian Gyuto 240)
Put the Ridgeback 4.5 through four days of heavy batoning and feather-sticking in damp timber. Scandi grind struck sparks easily and shaved clean.
Sarah Lindqvist, Wilderness Guide — Bozeman, MT (Ridgeback Fixed Blade 4.5)
The ceramic bearing pivot drops shut with zero blade play. S35VN holds up against abrasive cardboard and everyday utility tasks without rolling.
Devon Miller, EDC Collector — Austin, TX (Vector Flipper 3.25)
Line Report
We don't baby our station steel. This Meridian Gyuto takes water-stone sharpening once a week and keeps an aggressive, toothy bite through service.
