This is the knife that came to mind for me. I have this knife and it's a good knife, well made takes a good edge etc. Mine needed a sharpen (not unusual for JK's)

Re: Latest knife!
Hi Randy & what a great statement your knife makes. I really love the symmetry in the damascus that your collective ''brand", but sometimes I also find a bit of "random" thrown in attractive. So with your knife here, I find the random damascus very appealing. Keep up the good work...

Re: Sharpening carbon vs SG2 etc
I prefer not to use diamonds unless I'm looking to remove a lot of steel and then only for the first step. Assuming good quality ceramic stones (or equivalent), the main difference for me is that these just require a little more time & / or pressure. My stones are mainly Nubatama's & Shapton...

Re: Single Bevel Kiritsuke
This may not meet your requirements at all, but I noticed it in the Close Out section of the CKTG website;
Kohetsu HAP40 Kiriitsuke 240mm Second ~ https://www.chefknivestogo.com/closeouts.html
It's not a single bevel, but it is HAP40 as a trade

Thanks taz. I like the colouring too & I think that the 100% pure Tung oil, applied properly has helped with the appearance and durability.

Re: Knife Recommendation: Flat Profile Gyuto
I have a couple of Shibata's and a Kurosaki & Makoto all with these exquisite edges. I'm surprised at how robust they are for what they are, but they deserve to be respected for what they are. For me it's similar to top-of-the-line sports cars. You can't buy the latest Ferrari and then drive it ...

Large & a small cutting boards, hand made from re-cycled NZ Kauri, treated with pure Tung oil. So, history, absolutely beautiful and a delight to use every day.

Re: VG-10 Steel
There is the steel and there is the blacksmith. As long as the steel is decent, which VG-10 is, then it's all about the work of the smith. Heat treatment, profile, grind. The steel has faults, but a good blacksmith minimizes them. I have a couple of VG10 knives a custom and a Shun paring. Like Ouro...

Re: What should my next knife be?
The dates on this thread seem to be all over the place. As a dyed-in-the-wool Shibata fan-boi, I like the Taz's Shibata suggestion, as all the hype around these knives is not misplaced. Also, I have the Shiro Kamo that Jeff refers to. It's certainly got a real in your face, look at me persona, but i...

Hi there Hilas & welcome to our forum. I'm just a home cook and like taz my first thought was the Yahiko 240 kiritsuke. Firstly, it's a ginsan SS blade, which is about as close to a carbon blade in terms of performance & ease of sharpening as you can get. Very fine grain structure and it tak...
