Probably not. I just knew that's where they were b/c I stumbled upon it before.

It's not really a typo, but a lot of the images on the Shop by Steel section are from knives that are no longer available and many of the lists are empty, though you do still have at least one line in SRS-15 steels. The SLD photo is also under Photobucket ransom.

This page says the knife is 25% off, but it is marked down by about 14%.

PS. This topic could be pinned to the top of the forum for easier locating

The knife in the photo is different from the knife in the video. I am happy that it was the knife in the photo, BTW.

This happens when knives go through changes, especially with handles since Steve can't make the videos quickly enough to keep up with the entire site. I leave them on the pages since they have lots of information that remains relevant.

Thank you. I understand and liked the version I got better of the two, so no complaints. But maybe in the future you could put a note on the page so it's clear.

On this page: https://www.chefknivestogo.com/mawh2prna16.html

You state, "The inner core, or hagane, is made from White #2 steel, also known as Aogami #2. "

White does not equal aogami.

I know it is minor, but I am always rubbed the wrong way when descriptions use "it's" as a possessive. "Its" is the possessive form, and "it's" is a contraction for "it is." This is basic grammar, but the error exists across the site. To me, this makes many descriptions seem unprofessional and unkempt, even though I know that there is actually a team working on them and that they tend to be based on first-hand knowledge of the products in question.

Joe you are correct.
It's not minor but it can creep in sometimes with auto spell and as we know its algorithms are not perfect.

Please don't get rubbed the wrong way. It's not good for its health.

Not a typo but a problem in itself that should be addressed.

When searching for products in categories like "By Steel" not all products show up that should.
One example off the top of my head is if you search "Blue #2 steel" in the "By Steel" tab the Gihei Blue #2 Nashiji doesn't show up.

Not sure how many items this happens with in how many categories but believe it needs to be addressed. Many shoppers might think an item is not stocked on the sight if they don't find it while searching in specific categories, like the Gihei when searching specific steels.

We asked Konosuke to give us their rendition of the classic French profile. Kogatta [sic] means “pointed”.
I suspect that you meant Togatta here?

Chromax doesn't show up in the "Shop by Steel".
