Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this forum, and I hope that I'm posting in the right category .
I originally made a post in the CKtG forum, but unfortunately big parts of the forum got deleted.
11 years ago I bought a Takeda AS Gyuto 240 which I'm using every single day. It's my only Japanese knife, and has become my favorite tool in the kitchen.
I use my Takeda for most tasks, but sometimes I find my self in need of a smaller knife.
I'm not a collector, and the price doesn't have much impact on my decision as I rarely buy a new knife.
What I'm looking for is a carbon steel knife with good edge retention and a Japanese style handle. I have been looking at the TOYAMA NOBORIKOI where Maxim has a 180 petty damascus in stock now.
Is this a good decision, and what would you recommend?
Best
Niels
