After gathering some unexpected PayPal funds and selling my Blazen, I am interested in a new knife. I am thrilled with my Rodrigue laser, and am now interested in a beefier workhorse to complement it. My must-haves:
240 or 270, leaning 270
Carbon, or AEBL (or 52100)
I like balance point around machi.
Doesn't need to be wa, but strong preference.
Sturdy blade, little to no flex. Reference point is DT 240 ITK.
Current thoughts:
Devin Thomas ITK 270
(Tried a 240 stainless and adored it, would need an offer.)
Gesshin Hide White No 2 Hon Kasumi 240
(Very curious about new profile and steel options, pm'd Jon)
Gesshin Hinoura Ajikataya 240 White No. 2 Wa Gyuto
(Very interested in trying Hinoura but can't afford Tsukasa)
Kochi Migaki Wa Gyuto 270
(Thick but thin behind the edge, seems like a good option.)
Anyone have any suggestions, comments, Devins for sale? :whistling: Willing to spend up to 450. Always appreciate the collective insight.
Also if you are looking to unload anything that meets the above criteria, please let me know.
Thanks!
