About a year ago this past August, J. Kenji Lopez-Alt at Serious Eats gushed about a knife he was given, and that it was the Holy Grail of knives under $150.00. The creators of this knife started a Kickstarter project to get funding for production. My investment was $55.00 and for that I would receive a Misen knife and blade guard. This payment was sent 09/15. After 25 updates, lots of delays, more delays, I began to wonder, am I being "scammed"? This was my first venture into Kickstarter. Out of the blue 2 weeks ago I got another update, my knife has been shipped! As it turned out, no I wasn't being scammed, Josh and Omar, the creators, were making sure the production was every bit as good as the prototypes and they didn't settle for any less! It was boxed quite protectively! And is it a beauty! This is my fifth Chef knife, and this is so much more balanced than the others, and it fits like a glove in my hand. I can't wait to put it thru the tasks!
