WTB 240mm wa gyuto

[Jordanp]

Looking for a workhorse gyuto in good condition around 240mm....brands Id be into are mazaki, gengetsu, kochi, yoshikane etc... something along those lines and sub $250 USD. Thanks!

Arguably the best knife available to you for anything near that amount is posted right now by @Barmoley. That Catcheside FG gyuto is a a screaming deal.

At that rate, you could afford something pretty decent brand new.

I have an Itinomonn StainLess 240 gyuto that has seen just a very light home use for a few months that would fit your budget with ease including shipping. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

You should be able to get a new yoshikane SKD 240mm gyuto for right around $250 at epic edge with the 10% discount: http://www.epicedge.com/shopexd.asp?id=85676

Lol this is about as KKF a post as you can get.

"Looking for a knife <$250"

"You should but this one it's $550 which is pretty much in budget!"

Flamin' emojis didn't work...

Coming back to this, I am not sure you could do any better than the Yoshikane White #2 knives that Craig at Carbon carries:
https://carbonknifeco.com/collections/yoshikane-knives

They run pretty true, if not a touch long, so 210mm might be a solid option to save you a touch on budget.
If 240mm and $250 are HARD numbers, then I would say Wakui is your man. Lots of places and options, but here are two good deals from solid shops. Do not let prices fool you: Wakui makes excellent knives that are some of the best cutters around.

1. Knives and Stones: http://www.knivesandstones.com/wakui-gyuto-240mm-white-2-stainless-clad-hammered-finish/
- If you want knives that are clean and with superb f&f, James' shop is tough to match
2. Bernal: http://bernal-cutlery.shoplightspeed.com/wakui-240mm-gyuto-shirogami-2-ho-octogan.html
- Looks like a really strong profile, good heat treat.

If the price point opens up a touch, you're in Toyama, Watanabe territory.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the links and guidance on where to get what I am looking for! Still looking on here to see what is available so if anybody has something within budget that fits the bill hmu!

Just a reminder folks, this is a WTB thread, not a "recommend me a knife" thread.

Ehhhh. I fail to see the problem here. There is nothing wrong in recommending different knives in a thread like this.
