Does anyone know any good one sided gyuto makers? I've seen a couple but they are outrageously priced. I'd really like to get one. It seems like such a cool idea.
that has to be kiritsuke.
If there's no ura, is it actually a single-bevel? Or is that just part of a "japanese single-bevel?"TC Blades gyutos are heavy, in your face, solid, gyutos with a "virtual single bevel", as I call it. The micro bevel is more like a regular bevel on a laser (small, but definitely there). The bevel on the other side, however, is done just like any single bevel knife. It creates a very different feeling gyuto, but they really are worth experiencing. I like mine quite a bit (and I' sayin this, not as a vendor, but as a member, since I don't have his gyutos on my site).As for what makes a "single bevel gyuto" different than a deba. In my opinion, that's blade thickness, no ura and much less upsweep at the tip. That's just my opinion.
I think it's yanagi and usubaI thought kiritsuke was a cross btween a deba and a yanagiba?
yep!! my 240mm TC blade just about everything LEFTY describe! not a true Japanese single bevel(no ura) but close enough. weight 228g, spine wide 3mm, heel height 51mm. TC blade gyuto cut really nice but it will wedge on extra tall hard root vegetable. I purchased this gyuto to learn how to cut/sharpen Japanese single bevel knife, very interesting knife to working with....TC Blades gyutos are heavy, in your face, solid, gyutos with a "virtual single bevel", as I call it.

Thanks PT/KK. I agree with KK's other statement though: once I got a single-bevel (a few days ago to be honest) I view it as something totally different from the double-bevel profiles like gyuto. Like trying to compare a screwdriver to a crescent wrench.+! We have a winner. And it is in no way a substitute for a gyuto.
So not a real kiritsuke then? I suppose it's a gyuto with a kiritsuke-shaped tip?
