Re: 210 vs 240 Gyuto

It may sounds silly, but sometimes a 225 or 230 is prefect. I also employ a few 250s. These slight variances can mean a lot when dialing in to your preferred knife. Of course, not very common in the j-knife realm, but it seems western makers are willing to embrace the margins. Good luck

Appreciate the help and will try to post a pic when all is done. What kind of knife is it. You may be able to post a WTB ho wood handle and get a u...

Look great. You are not making knives now, just handles and sayas, right? That saya goes really well with the Kochi handle. Just handle and saya work for the time being. But, I am piecing together some equipment, and am hoping to build my forge soon. Thanks for checking πŸ˜‰ And I agree, the burnt che...
