Show your newest knife buy

Mr. Nagao (Hiromoto) white 2/stainless clad 270mm gyuto and Mr. Shimatani 240mm wa gyuto in HAP40.

Just picked up the Shimatani this morning and used it at work. Pretty happy with it for the price, it's a real beast though; cuts surprisingly well considering how thick it is, but a little thinning would definitely be beneficial. Steel wasn't as hard on the stones as I was expecting either.

Excuse the crap pic.

That's a nice Shimatani gyuto. Do you mind if I asked where did you buy it ?

Not at all. Picked it up from Japan tools metal master: http://www.metalmaster-ww.com/.

He has an ebay store as well, though he doesn't seem to list as much on it. I'll post some better pics of the Shimatani later. As said, it's a nice knife but needs a little tweaking, I really bought it to try out the steel though.

Cheers,
