Got the 240 of that. BIG flat spot (which was what I was after). The height is great (if you like that too). White steel easy to sharpen.

At risk of being shot down for being off topic, this reminds me that there are two kinds of people: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data ... Anyway, always an education to read Larrin's posts. Thank you, Larrin!

I just picked up one of these from BST, becaus e I wanted to "try a nakiri or small cleaver". I love it, the height of this adds to its utility (for me). I may be on the slippery slope to selling everything and just having one CCK for everything (JUST KIDDING). Unfortunately it's oos at KnS...

that's exactly why I made mine, no wall space

+1 make one. I don't have pics, but it does (just) fit my recently acquired Kurosaki cleaver (76mm blade height) rotating block

yeah, the elephant didn't want to pay for all those trunk calls ......

But which knife should we use?

PM, NIL Cleaver

Yep, it's in Russian .... :) https://mtmwood.com/en/mtmwood.php

(off topic: not sure what you call "tallish", but Yoshimune are under US$200, & have big flat spots: my 240 is 51mm at heel, KnS say they range 52-53 for 240 & 210, http://www.knivesandstones.com/yoshimune-sanjo-gyuto-240mm-white-2/ )

my bad, read it on phone, Bendor, Crack on! Can't disagree on James at KnS. I had my own "5oth Birthday intro to knives" a couple years ago, and went for a 210 Kurosaki. http://www.knivesandstones.com/syousin-chiku-migaki-gyuto-210mm-aogami-super-stainless-clad-by-kurosaki/

Just be careful, breaking down poultry and breaking bones is def NOT a recommended activity for most gyuto ... use your current knives for that kind of rough and tumble?

I'd appreciate it if anyone can id this one please? it's a 24o mm gyuto, offered to me for sale, wondering whether it's good price or not.

Shame, I'd have been on that Wat. Glad you have a CONUS sale in place :)

Think you nailed it with the specs there ,GG. Anyone know how reactive the cladding is?

Yoshimmune. Big flat spot. 240 is about US$ 180 210 is US$150 http://www.knivesandstones.com/yoshimune-sanjo-gyuto-240mm-white-2/ The 240 with the standard handle is quite blade forward balance. Don't know what the 210 is like.

or soft hinoki board (japanese cypress), or any one of many soft boards around (eg synthetic rubber): there's a number of threads here on what boards people use. Many DON'T use end grain for a variety of reasons.

It was good to meet Mert Tansu, and James (from Knives & Stones) Was also impressed by work by Kev Room who won the "best kitchen knife" award. www.instagram.com/room_custom_knives/
