Speed helps with most knives or at least that has been my experience. Technique changes the game too. Push vs pull vs straight chip vs G&G etc.

Yeah, lasers can have good release for lasers but that is still usually one/ perhaps greatest weakness. My kashima has some nice convexing and finish but it will still get sticky.

Idk, I tend to have more extreme sticking issues with my middleweights than my lasers. With potatoes anyway. Not so much with heavyweights though.

Yeah, each knive is an individual. I was making z generalization. When I test for stickiness, I go slow and just test the natural release. I count speed as technique. I often find lasers sticky, but I've had stickiness with middleweights too depending on the knive. It's all give and take to a certain degree. I think the main thing with a great laser, is if u can make it less sticky. So it doesn't piss you off.

Using my old Victorinox 10" chef's reminded me what true stickiness is. None of my J-knives compare, lasers or not.

I have been really wanting to try the 270 I picked up, but I bought it as a house warming gift for my brother so I’m trying really hard not to break it out of the box. I’m planning on getting a handle done for it so hopefully I don’t get too tempted to try it out while it’s sitting in my closet.
