Hey all, I'm heading down to LA for a conference on Friday and I'm planning on stopping by JKI to pick up a sujihiki. People in another thread recommended the ginga stainless as a great slicer for a home cook (I would be carving thin slices of chicken breast and roast beef for sandwiches and cutting boneless cuts into stew). After searching on the website, I also found the Uraku 270mm stainless for pretty much half the price. There isn't much information out there on the uraku in terms of reviews besides what Jon has posted himself, but I know most people only have experience with gyutos which would have a lot of board contact so I'm curious if the qualities that make the ginga better than the uraku are significant when choosing a slicer. They're both monosteel stainless, and the Uraku sujihiki is only slightly thicker at the heel than the Ginga, and I imagine grind doesn't matter too much for slicers? Since it will be used for home use on maybe 6-8 pounds of meat per week with little board contact, edge retention shouldn't be a huge issue, just edge taking, right? I'm willing to spend the extra if it's really worth it, but I'd like to hear the board's opinion first. Thanks!
