Show us your new knife!
Re: Show us your new knife!
I waited a long time for this one, and it seems it was well worth it. Catcheside 220 integral damascus western gyuto. This thing is a BEAST! If you like kato workhorse type knives, then this would be right up your alley. At 260 grams its heavy af but with a perfect balance point right at the pinch grip and no flex at all. This thing just powers through food effortlessly while having great food release on par or even better than any kato ive tried without wedging at all. Still havent really put it through the paces, but i cant wait to throw everything at it.

Re: Show us your new knife!
How did you get the Raquin? He says he doesn't have a list, but I see peeps with 5-10 of his knives. Also, did you have him do work on your TF Denka? TIA and enjoy all the new toys!

I wanted to try out a Willison, got this 220mm AEB-L K-Tip with Maple Burl handle. It's thin, light and I'm liking it.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Just picked this up in the Classifieds. Makoto White #2, 240mm. Its my first chef/gyuto over 210. My first impression is that its stunningly beautiful, but I'm concerned its too large for me. I'm in a small apartment kitchen with limited counter space. I'm going to give it a little time and see if it grows on me or I have to move back to a 210.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Definitely give it a couple weeks in my opinion. I find 240 to be much more useful than 210, but ya, with a small prep space it could be too large.Bcos17 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 1:04 am 1.jpg
