Wanted a tall stout 165mm petty on a restrained budget so I went with the Gihei for it's value.
This thing is like a mini-gyuto!

This is definitely gonna be the centerpiece on my countertop! Maybe you guys can convince Duy to bring a few slabs of marble to the show in September :lol:

I was there when Tanaka San and Morimoto San signed that paper for the knives. I would love it if they kept doing that for the unique pieces they're doing.

Takeda 240mm Classic Kiritsuke. This is my first Takeda, although years back I got to use a sujihiki that belonged to my sous chef at the time. To be honest, this was kind of an impulse buy and I wasn't too sure what to expect. I have read much on other forums about some inconsistencies and other issues, and wondered if I would love this knife.

Wow :o

It's awesome. No wedging, takes a scary edge that sticks in my board. I was shocked when I put it on the scale after a week or so of using it and seeing that it was my heaviest gyuto at 7.3 oz. It is even heavier than my Yoshimune, which feels like a brick. How is this knife so nimble and light feeling? What kind of sorcery is this? Now I understand the Takeda magic. Great distal taper. So, so easy to sharpen and strop as well. Fantastic handle - I love the epoxy sealing. And yes - I have never experienced food release like this before.

Thanks Steve,

For whatever reason I can get his knives sharper than any other line we carry. They cut fantastically well.

I just sharpened mine for the first time before I sold it and I was very happy with the results, as was the buyer. Even gave me a compliment.
