Quick question. JohnnyChance, why do you take so many gyutos to work? Also, it is interesting that you have a mix of 270s and 240s, do you prefer each length for certain tasks? I have always used 240s but I am considering getting a 270 to see if I like it. Thing is, I sorta don't want to like it because then I won't use my 240s, so I find it interesting you have a mix of lengths. Another thing, I seem to have way fewer knives than everyone else. In my job everyone sorta does their own bit, hence I have no big slicers, the odd time I need one my 210 petty works ok
Messy Jesse, that is an absolutely LOVELY patina on the KS gyuto. I think I might end up getting one of these, though I told myself no more gyutos...
Yes, it does look very good. Did you force it?

Because I don't like to sharpen every day. I sharpen all my knives at once every 2-3 weeks or so. So even if I haven't sharpened in awhile, I always have a fresh gyuto. Even if I used just one, my edges keep for 1-2 weeks, so it is overkill, but I am always prepared. Some knives are better for certain tasks, and some I don't like to use for others. Like I wouldn't use the Shigefusa during service. I prefer 270's to 240's, but the 240's are nice to have during service because they are slighty smaller and take up less board space. The 240's I have now are mostly because those knives were not available in 270. Going forward, any other gyutos I purchase would probably be 240 just because I have so many 270s already. I also bring a few because sometimes it is just nice to change it up and use something else I haven't used in awhile. I have something for every mood, haha. You may have less than people, but really, I have way too many. And I have at least....five more that are ordered and haven't been made yet. So yeah, it's a problem. I am running out of knives to buy that wouldn't be redundant. People chide me at work when I break out something they haven't seen before. I probably have as many chefs knives as everyone else in my kitchen combined.
