Today im looking to sell my watanabe 270mm gyuto. Its carbon clad blue 2 steel that has unreal edge retention that is unsurpassed by any other carbon knife ive ever used including AS. The steel is hard, not sure how hard but noticeably harder than the typical 60-61hrc gyutos. Still sharpens up nicely, no problems with chipping whatsoever. The profile is a push cutters dream, comfortable to use as an all arounder. The knife has been etched, so the the reactivity of the cladding has been reduced a great deal, it will still react a little if you're not careful but not nearly as bad as most clad carbon. The handle is keyaki an upgrade installed by watanabe. This knife took almost 2 monthes to arrive when ordered, as sometimes customers have to wait for watanabe to actually make the knives before shipping. The nice thing here is that this wat doesnt have a wait time :wink: Just something to keep in mind. After shipping, and handle upgrade this knife was $460 new. Today im offering it for $400 obo.
Thanks
