Who uses them and how often?
It's funny because this knife was the one that I thought would be of no interest (read novelty) but strangely it speaks to me.:viking:
I just received one in a passaround and I think I'm falling in love even though I've only used it once. The profile is close to perfect for me as I enjoy a fairly flat blade. The low tip doesn't seem to be an issue (get in the way) for most cuts I make which would've been a big concern.
My first question is--is this a novelty or do people like to use them? If you have one in your kit, does it get broken out for normal prep or do you reserve it for certain tasks?
The one I'm using is a 240 and while that is my standard gyuto length, this feels just a bit short. So next question would be for those that have them what length do you prefer in relation to your other knives? In other words is this a knife that needs to be a bit longer?
Finally, while the tip does not seem fragile, it looks like I would break the tip every second or third use (I promise to be careful James). Is this a legit concern or do they break no more often then any other knife?
Cheers
