It’s a great knife! I love the way it feels.

How often are you honing/sharpening this knife and what do you use? Thanks for this content! I was gonna throw down on a MAC but if I can get 2 or 3 good Mercer options I’d rather go down that road.

[@JPMCuisine]

Not very often - I have a few of the Mercer knives that I rotate through and the edges last much longer. I’ll usually hone after a few uses but I’m switching constantly between a paring, utility, Santoku, Nakiri, and multiple chefs knives that the overall sharpness and edge integrity can’t be matched by a single knife used daily. I’m like you, if I can get the same cut and feel from having multiple knives that are similar and come in at a lower price point than making a single big purchase, that’s the way to go.

What’s the difference between renaissance vs genesis santoku knife ?

[@StingofTruth]

The handle. The genesis has santoprene handles, the renaissance has POM (polyoxymethyline) handles. Some genesis knives come with full bolsters, some have half bolsters. I believe all the renaissance has half bolster knives for easier sharpening.
