Re: Second project knife

I would take one. It would be cool if you could get konosuke to make it out of hap 40. I actually prefer the swedish stainless over the hd2, slightly, for edge retention and sharpening.

Re: New to sharpening advices

I have had both. I still have the ken onion edition. You get wider belts and the ability to adjust the speed of the belt. I believe the ken onion edition is worth the extra cost. I mainly use it to sharpen German knives/friends and families knives or to remove chips/blade thinning on cheap knives or...

Re: Correct me if I’m wrong. Switch Hands

I'm ambidextrous cutter, but it was out of necessity being left handed. I don't know if I would have bothered practicing with my off hand if it wasn't necessary. Even after all these years of using both hands, the more precise I need to be the slower I am with my right hand compared to my left hand....

Re: Looking for a new gyuto

+1 Cutuu said it better than my last paragraph. :D I think I’m in the same boat as you - I have an “inexpensive” line knife (Richmond GT 210) that does my line work on a narrow poly board, and I use larger knives for prep. I’m learning I need more than one knife - the 210 GT is great for line work a...

Re: Looking for a new gyuto

I'll second Cutuu's response on the Konosuke YS in 240mm. I used it for the whole week of Christmas making Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my family (20 adults 14 kids). I used the factory edge, and it held its edge until the last day. Realistically, I could of used it the last day if it was the on...

Re: If you had only one knife to bring to work

I just use a 150mm petty. If I need to do work that requires a parring knife I just choke up on the petty.

Re: Looking for a new gyuto

Your selections would all do well and meet your criteria. Pick the one that you like the best. Unfortunately, you answered these questions very broadly. It will be hard for use to help you unless your more specific. For instance, you said you want a knife that does veg and protein, what is wrong/don...

Re: Konosuke GS+ KS first impressions

The GS+ appears to be little more "stainless" than the ginsan I have owned.

Re: Tanaka Sekiso 240 Gyuto custom

The anryu is a great choice.

If i was looking to spend $320 on the sekiso I would spend a little more and grab the MM.

Re: Sujihiki Recomendation

I think any of your choices would serve you well. You just need to decide how much you want to spend and if you like the way it looks. Out of the 300mm I would favor the Masakage slightly over the moritaka. Out of the 270mm I would favor the anryu, for wha it's worth.
