So I haven't yet used the knife much but few things I found so far: -feels light but well balanced and thus when cutting you actually feel like it is heavy -very nice damascus pattern -sharp -handle fits well in hand When I have more experience with it I will post more but if anyone has...

So I got the knife :) Now it looks like I will also need a saya or some other blade guard for it . Does anyone have any suggestions?

When I get , I'll upload some pictures.

So in the end I bought the Shiro Kano :) Thanks for the advice.

So it looks like K&S has Tanaka blades in stock just the not the handles :) but they said they might be able to put something non standard on it

BTW it would be cheaper to buy the Takamura than fly to Sydney/Melbourne to check them out :)

Thanks richard!

Richard could you point me to a Takamura Hana knife just so I have an idea what you are talking about :)

Thanks for all the info. I'm waiting for reply from K&S about Tanaka and I will decide then.

So is the edge stainless steel or carbon? And if only the core (not the edge as well) is carbon what does that do for the knife?

So is the kurouchi added only to carbon steel and not to SS?

Is the R2 better than VG10? And in terms of kurouchi finish is there something interesting? This is what I found interesting on K&S (apart from Tanaka and Shiro) http://www.knivesandstones.com/syousin-chiku-ku-gyuto-240mm-aogami-super-stainless-cladding-by-kurosaki/

Looks like metal master has them in stock http://www.metalmaster-ww.com/product/645 http://www.metalmaster-ww.com/product/458

That is a beautiful blade! I'll have to consider it. I'm actually ok to pay bit more if the blade is nice looking. Do you know any other blades that look as nice in similar price range? I'm from Perth

I'll probably skip the generic one and rather pay more for something better. Are there any other vendors with Tanaka in Australia that would have the 240mm version?

Is the 210mm version usually "enough" for house work, is there much advantage in 240-270mm size? K&S only have the 210mm in stock.

Is this the same as the JCK Inazuma?

Hello, everyone. I'm looking a gyuto for home use. I'm not a even an amateur chef just regular person that wants a sharp and nice looking knife. I understand that for my kitchen needs a victorinox would suffice but as I can afford something nicer and I'm a Japanese culture enthusiast I...
