Hey Everyone!
I'm finally getting more into knives thanks in large part to this forum. I have plans to pick up a Sakai Yusuke Swedish Stainless 240mm or a Gesshin Ginga Stainless 240 Wa-Gyuto (depending on how long their out of stock....). Now I know both of these knives are most definitely in the laser type class making me a bit unsure if I want to (or should) use them for things such as cutting up an Acorn Squash, chopping nuts + chocolate + candy, splitting/slicing a watermelon or other melons, cubing cheese etc...
I would definitely feel more comfortable not doing these with my super thin knife so I'm wondering if there is merit to the idea of picking up either a German Chef's knife (Wusthoff Classic 8') or a Western Deba (Tojiro DP 240 or 210mm). Basically I'm trying to have a very minimalist knife set up here but at the same time still get to experience a laser.
Anyhow, I'm wondering if there is/are any knives I'm overlooking for this job or which one of these two might be better for the jobs I'm interested in.
Thanks!
