Couldn’t find any information about this on their website. And customer support never responded to me.

    What do you mean by edge? The bevel of a mass marketed chefs knife is generally going to be even on both sides. The blade shape is more variable. The handle geometry is one of the main differences between western and eastern knives.

    This type of knife will have a traditional western bevel, if that’s what you’re asking. Single bevels are very uncommon on western knives, and would absolutely be noted in the description.
