Jon, if is possiable take a picture of New/old Gesshin Hide gyuto side by side for compare the new/old Profile & grind??
 
Ok, I give up. Which one is the new, and which the old, in the side-by-side photos?
 
the one without stiker on ferrule is new Hide
 
san mai... with softer cladding... iron cladding on the carbon and stainless on the ginsanko
 
So, if the original Hide gyuto's were such great cutters, is the new thinner batch even better?
 
more different than better... the original ones worked really great though, but based on what out customer base is looking for, we made some changes.
 
How is the ginsanko compared to the other carbon steels?
 
Now I need to convince my wife I need another knife
 
The only saving factor for me not pulling the trigger on a Ginsanko is there is no 270's. Do love the look of the new grind.
 
also, a lot of people have asked about why the prices are the way they are... the answer is the cost of the blacksmith... we used 3 different blacksmiths... as such, each person has a different price. This, together with the varying cost of steel, cost of labor involved in working each steel, etc.
 
NOthing to see here move along....:peepwall::surrendar:

Dang it and your good customer service.
