I know there's a ton about 210 sujis out there, but I'm not sure I ever saw a direct comparison of these two knives.
A little background...As I try out more knives, I'm coming to the realization that my 150mm petty is now an annoying size as a utility knife. There's a smaller size I prefer for peeling and tiny tasks (80mm petty). And I feel like there's a larger size I'd prefer for other quick tasks when I don't have a ton of space or don't want to pull out a larger gyuto for just one potato. I kind of have had the same realization with 240 gyutos. They're kind of a middle size for me and I'd rather have something a bit longer for when I'm actually doing a lot of work and something a bit shorter for when I'm doing something really small/quick.
All this has left me curious about the 210mm size. That way, I could have 80mm, 210mm, and 270mm (and maybe 150mm). So the question is, what are the advantages of a 210 suji over a 210 gyuto? They're often the same price, so some part of me feels like getting more steel for my money, but I figured I'd ask you guys who have played with them before.
