Wow does anyone know how much this one sold for at auction? I remember a knife selling for 27k or something, but it wasn't this one.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Legit or not worth it? Changes to improve it? I'm considering trying it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kld3zeQ1C0E

Begs the question, how does one get the different size pieces to mesh together without any major gaps? I'm really diggin this abstract kind of look.

A gyuto IS a chef's knife. They are the most utilized knife in the kitchen...usually.

Any specific reason why the effect is so awesomely, dramatic looking on the Hiromoto blades?

Profile looks great. Thanks for the find Huw. I'm going to sleep on this one before I make a final decision. Black, white, or marble? :wink:

Btw, there are quite a number of choil shots on the web of Masakage gyutos and there seems to be some variance in the grind. I've seen super duper thin to noticeably chubbier grinds on the Yuki. Same for the Koishi. Curious to know if the grinds could have possibly adjusted over time or if this...

Thanks for the review. A great read, quite informative, and with great photos. You should do more!:biggrin: The frosty finish on this blade is so damn sexy. Definitely is having the lust effect on me at the moment.

^^^ Most likely a typo.

Was it a fairly crusty and hard baguette? I've read that coarse exteriors can cause this pretty easily on really thin knives.

I waited more than a month for my set of Gingas to arrive. Yup, the wait is definitely the worst part.

SolidSnake, there is a link to photos in the OP's #2 post. Just realized it was a link myself.

The Damascus claddings on those Takamuras are very striking. Jealous...:wink:

Kono sold. Thanks guys. Thread closed.

Shibata sold. Kono spf.

I agree, just take the leap already and let the journey begin. :wink:

I think chefs and professional cooks would make the ideal guinea pigs for knife evaluation, no?

Fast food: burgers (specifically from McDonald's), taco bell From my culture: balut, diniguan Candy: fruity tootsie rolls, almond joy Other things I loved as a kid, but hate now: SPAM, canned corn beef
