I have the first one (Hiromoto AS 240mm), and it's my favorite kitchen knife. Masamoto is a legendary brand, and I have heard nothing but good things about them. You can't go wrong with either, really. You will get slightly better steel with the Hiromoto AS, at the cost of having to take better care of the carbon steel edge.

>Do you have a cross reference chart? Like a list of equivalents? European vs. Asian vs Western Americas
I can tell you that the Victorinox are made in Switzerland, Dexter-Russel are made in the USA, and the rest on that chart are made in Japan. Europe has a bunch well known brands. I'm not a fan of full bolsters, so I don't recommend most of those brands. Although, I recently handled some Consigli knives (Italian brand) that looked very sexy with their olive wood handles.

>Do Africans and Australians do fine steels? Antarctica?
Not that I know of.

Congratulations Pyewacket! Your submissions and sportsmanship is an inspiration to us all.
Thank you heartsonfire and dogsfordinner for organizing this competition, and for all the judges and competitors for participating.

This has definitely been the toughest cooking competition I have ever participated in.

If you have a rotisseries attachment for your grill, you can get it VERY close. With frequent turning, this can be done with a long kebab skewer as well. The secret is to season it well ahead of time, cook it over gentle heat, and then pan fry the strips right before serving. Don't forget to distribute lamb fat throughout, to keep it nice and juicy.

Here is my best attempt with chicken.

>I'd include the Fujiwara FKM.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I'll definitely include it.

>Take out the Shun too, or atleast make a point of the issues with them.
I wanted to include at least one knife that you could commonly find at a Williams Sonoma or a Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I'm not a fan of them, but I already have people giving me shit for not including Globals.

>Not too sure why you only recommend 8 inch/210mm though?
I only listed the 8" versions as a point of comparison. I specifically state "Choose the longest chef knife you can comfortably use", and recommend a length "between 8in (210mm) to 10in (240mm)". I use a 240mm knife and a 150mm nakiri most often. I've heard that some line cooks don't have room for a 10" knife on the prep line.

I mostly added the Misono Handmade in there because it's comparatively affordable. The Swedish Steel series knives are carbon steel (rather then stainless steel). I own and enjoy carbon steel knives, but I figure most people don't want the hassle of taking care of a knife that will discolor and rust if left wet.

If someone doesn't mind taking care of carbon knives, the Swedish Steel Series would be an excellent choice.
