Hi,
I am contenplating getting a THIN 240 gyuto to accompany my newly acquired Munetoshi 240 which is a very enjoyable knife, but is not the best for hard tall vegetables.
My preferences are:
- thin, no wedging
- WA handle (or no handle at all - I can make one myself)
- preferably stainless or semi-stainless, but carbon would be OK too
- preferably under $/ 300 (used is also an option)
- as little flex as possible
I have sofar identified the following knives that could fit:
- Gesshin Ginga
- Konosuke HD/HD2
- Konosuke GS
- Sakai Yusuke (I have just contacted bluewayjapan and waiting for an answer)
- Itinomonn StainLess (ist it 'thin enough' ?)
- Suisin INOX honyaki (bit too expensive)
- Ikkanshi Tadatuna INOX
My questions:
- what would you pick and why?
- are there other options I should consider?
Thanks
