I am looking for a perfect quyto to my taste and like to seek your wisdom.
I am not a gyuto person and have limited experiences (aritsugu, shige, mario's, DT ITK, and kato) with the type.
After spending numerous hours on this forum, I felt that a kato fits my preference (thick spine, heavy weight, distal tapering from hill to tip) So, I ended up getting a couple of katos in 210 and 240. They are great cutters for sure. Yet, the 210 kato feels too light and weak (just my subject feeling) so that I don't feel like using it for any heavy duty cutting job.
The 240 kato I have is much closer to my taste but it just gives me the feeling like a nice dish needs a pinch of salt. So, my search for a perfect one continues.
What I am looking is a hefty (even 300g is fine with me) 240mm weapon-like-feeling gyuto with ~5.5~6mm thick at the handle tapering gradually toward the tip. What would you recommend for it?
