Disclaimer: In no way do I *need* a new knife. I just want one, and suddenly have a some discretionary income thanks to the IRS. Lol
So, I'd like to pick up a laser gyuto to try out. I'm thinking that 240 mm is the right length. I don't really care about aesthetics, just looking for the best-performing laser. Between Suisin IH and and Gesshin Ginga stainless, it seems like the general consensus is that Ginga is the better value and pretty much equal to Suisin IH in every meaningful way.
So, I was about to pull the trigger, until I read a little bit about Shibata Kotetsu knives. The Kotetsu AS looks to hit all of the laser traits, but I don't see it in the same conversation as Ginga, Suisin, Kono HD, etc. Also, the k-tip R2 gyuto seems fun and super laser-y.
Question: Of these knives (Gesshin Ginga, Suisin IH, Kotetsu AS, Kotetsu R2), which would you recommend? I'm a home cook building a collection of knives that I use on a daily basis.
