I find that hard to believe. What is the make and model?
Believe. It's packed up somewhere around here. I'm not going to go looking for it for you.
Are there any nice high carbon knives made today? Those hold an edge for a surprising amount of time, but they were generally made thin in the past so there use was more limited as they are not as rigid. Also you have to be careful because they can develop rust and they don't look so pretty.
Well, I've got a piece of paper, somewhere that says -0.0000002. I think I got through Woodsmith, a publication for the hobbyist many years ago.
Starrett's most accurate square, the Master Precision Square is accurate to .0001". If yours is 1000 times more accurate it really belongs in the Guinness Book of World Records.

I'm assuming this is matter of working in different units and perhaps a flubbed decimal place... 0.0001" is 2.54 microns, or 0.00000254m
Just noticed this forum, I have been doing a lot of writing on the audio part, but I am an avid knife fan, I have Global, Shun, Kyocera, MAc, Caphalon Katana, and a Deba Hocho knife from the www.JapanWoodworker.com, which is my absolute favorite for about $30 bucks, it cuts better than all of my others and the sharpness is super!! I love the Mac sharpness also. Bill
Scott,I am an idiot when it comes to knife.Please educate me as to what use is for the Santoku?Thanks,Hugh
Hugh,I'd say it's kind of a jack of all trades kitchen knife. Not as big as a full chef knife, but quicker and more nimble. It's best suited to slicing/dicing vegetables, and prepping fish and chicken. The shape lends itself to push and pull cuts, but will still chop light stuff- doesn't have the weight of a cleaver. I was slicing some garden tomatoes earlier, and like most late tomatoes, they had blemishes that needed to be cut out. Instead of reaching for a paring knife, the Santoku could easily reach into it to remove the bad spots. A full chef knife is too big to easily do that kind of detail work. Scott
When my wife found out how much our 2 boys paid for their knives, she almost fell out of the chair and she asked me why so expensive....
My wife ask the same question, usually about phono cartridges.
"Check it out Babe; I sent a donation to this audio guy's charity and he sent me free tubes!"C'mon guys, it's easy math.
Scott,If I may ask, where did you get that Damascus Santoku and how much?Thanks,Hugh
