Doi gyuto 240

Post by raleighcook15 »

Did some searching but didn't find a ton of info on how these perform. I have one coming in the next week or so and would love some imput.

I've never fileted a fish with such a meaty knife and I'm curious how it would perform there?

How is it with wedging ?

How's the tip for shallots, onions etc?

I just got the tall petty, I like it . I only jullienne and onion but the food release was perfect. It is very rough around the edges, you can even feel the grind marks on the bevel. The distal taper is awesome, the tip is nice and thin and I really like the look of the handle and it feels decent. It's a fun knife with a fun story that is worth the the little I paid for it

I did not realize Doi made a small petty.... I am more than surprised it is rough around the edges and there were grind marks, very uncharacteristic of a Doi. Are you sure it was a Doi petty?

Anyway, my 240 is still in my rotation as a heavy user after a year. Cladding has calmed down considerably, not that it was difficult to manage in the first place. The steel is just a pure joy to use and sharpen.

True to form, she is not a lightweight, more amateur body builder. She does struggle a bit through dense produce but just works like a champ through everything else.

If your diet consists of sweet potatoes and cabbage, this knife is not for you. For me, I can't see my life without it. You can probably tell from the pic where most of my cutting takes place with this knife.

I've been tempted on many an occasion to pick one of these up. The Only thing that stops me is the edge length being 15 to 20mm longer than I prefer.
