The difference between Japanese and European knives
What makes Japanese knives so unique is that the steel in them is generally harder, which means that you can get them extremely sharp without them wearing down at the same rate as European knives. The hardness of the steel also allows you to sharpen them at a sharper angle.
Tip: do the tomato test
The so-called 'tomato test' involves holding the knife you want to test between your thumb and forefinger and dragging it across the skin of the tomato without adding any weight (except the knife itself). Ideally, the knife should also be able to cut a little way into the tomato. If it can't do this, it's time to either sharpen it or buy a new knife! Keep in mind that it is actually safer to use a razor-sharp knife than the other way around, as it reduces the risk of slipping and cutting yourself.
Orrefors Jernverk chef's knife - a quality knife
You're probably used to expecting quality when you buy products from Orrefors. This is of course also true in this case! Both the Japanese chef's knife and the so-called "regular" chef's knife are kitchen knives of very good quality! You can read about the differences above, but what they have in common is that they will be used countless times for years to come! This means that in the long run you can get more out of a high-quality Orrefors chef's knife, compared to a knife of poorer quality.
