Thanks all for the advice. Might be on to something with the 180mm advice. I have a 180mm gyuoto I use often for one-knife meal prep and it does a great job. I could see the extra length helping on trimming packers. Anyone have experience with the kurouchi petty in 165mm? I have the butcher...

Need some help with replacing my 150mm hiromoto petty knife that walked off recently and can't be found. :mad::mad: LOCATION What country are you in? usa KNIFE TYPE What type of knife are you interested in (e.g., chef’s knife, slicer, boning knife, utility knife, bread knife, paring knife...

You forgot a key target audience option. 6. Middle 'bang for buck' knifewear and cookware. I usually shoot for best for my dollar. I don't go to extremes in any one direction. I'm not one to pay 100% more for 10% the performance increase. With that said, I'm outfitting my kitchen for use...

Yes I wish there was a good alternative to recommend at this time. I have a number of family member and friends that could really use a decent size budget friendly model. I'll check them out, thanks for the recomendation.

Hasawega brown for me. Relatively new to the kitchen but I'm really liking it so far, and it's wife approved too. Go big or go home.

Waiting. The reason not to go out to eat.

I agree. My three biggest reasons for trying it was non-porous, weight, and simplicity. My wife is terrible about leaving things on the wood cutting board and I apparently procrastinated enough on board butter and mineral oil protection where the board has developed some smells. It's also...
