I am just thinking loud here, please bare with be - I have a very nice 210mm gyuto, but I use it nearly exclusively to slice (bone-less) meat. I use it rather little with vegetables (onions, etc..). I do try it from time to time, but being just a home cook I do not have real confidence in that and have to do it carefully to cut where I want to (and in particular not to cut where my hand is).
I will try cutting more veggies with the gyuto once I finally get a dedicated properly sized board (selection process is in its final rounds - yes, you got that right - a selection process, I know I know :rolleyes2: ), but it may or may not work for me. If it does not I will get a knife with 165 - 180 blade for veggies (bunk or hakata santoku).
So in the case that the gyuto would only be left with meat slicing (it feels a tad too short at times for that task) - I am wondering whether replacing it with a 240 sujihiki would make sense. :dontknow:
I am wondering how you would approach this "dilemma".
P.S. I did have a sujhiki before - it was Yoshikane SLD damascus 270mm. I swapped it (for the gyuto I have now) - the reason was that the blade felt too long with too little belly.
