Hey guys. This is a what-should-I-buy post with a small twist.
If Jon is able to make a Gesshin Hide cleaver a reality, that's where the remainder of my year's knife money goes to. But if not...
I'm very tempted by the following 3 knives:
- DT ITK AEBL 270
- DT ITK 52100 240
- Konosuke HD kiristuke-gyuto (probably) 240
I already have a two great ITK AEBL knives - a 240 gyuto and a 220 cleaver. *Love* the steel, love how the knives handle.
I've been using a single-bevel kiritsuke lately and really enjoy it. Already have a Takeda AS kiritsuke-gyuto on the sidelines that I have yet to use at all... but the HD steel in double-bevel kiritsuke format is really attractive too.
Hmmm... just writing this out, I'm now leaning towards one of Devin's 52100 ITKs...
What are your thoughts?
