Watanabe KU blue 240 gyuto
Got this last week from Sinichi. Used once at work and it is a BEAST, cuts surprisingly similar to my 440g chukabocho. Too much knife for me honestly, especially since I have a cleaver, wish I would have ordered a 210. Used at work once, touched up with a few passes on a fine jnat. faint patina on cladding, some nice blue patina on core. Hard to let it go since I had Sin handpick this one for me and it is so beautiful! 278g and doesn't wedge folks! $278 shipped conus.
Kurosaki AS 210 gyuto w/ saya
Would be a great line or home cooking knife! Amazing profile and feels great in hand. Comes with ho saya, fit is not airtight but still works great! Used at work twice, and I still have the saya pin:angel2:. Touched up on a finisher jnat and meanwhile gave it a couple minor blemishes on the cladding. Comes in original box. $190 shipped conus.
