I've got a question for you, apprentice. There's been a lot of discussion on the forum concerning blade drag caused by the coating on CGs. Did you notice any discernable blade drag as you cut up the meat with your YKCG?
And I have an answer for you, no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I really used to buy into that theory myself, but upon further inspection I think the effect of coatings on blade drag is overstated. Now, perhaps if we're talking about katanas, there would be more merit to having a highly polished surface...all the better to cleave you with... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
What I did find troubling was the gloppy residue from the meat would build up on the edge and blade area in general, thus slowing things down from time to time. That happens no matter what knife I'm using though. A quick wipe off with a paper towel and things were groovy once more.
