Hi guys,

I just bought a double beveled white #1 kurouchi 240mm gyuto by Kato san, I've seen pictures of each side, but I don't know how thick the knife is and how it is shaped.

Does anyone have a similar knife that can comment on this? Or maybe you know of some pictures online?

Thanks a lot

Wait where did you get a Kurochi Kato
 
Are we talking Kiyoshi Kato here? If so, this is my 180mm kurouchi nakiri. It is a JNS Workhorse model, but I don't know how much the grind factors into that with kurouchi. It is quite a lot thicker than both my Kato gyutos.

A friend in Japan sold it to me, sorry for not having a concrete source guys.
