Maybe that's how he expects you to get through carrots
Entirely possible, but I love to cut very thin sections of rutabaga for making rutabaga fries. And I've found no better knives than my Heijis for it.
I just got one as well. A beast of a knife and I, too, have been very impressed by the steel. I don't know about your sample, but the core steel on my knife formed a patina as fast or faster than what I usually see. I think the emphasis is on SEMI-stainless.so i recenty got a heiji semi-stainless gyuto... let me tell you, this stuff is insane!! why havent i tried one of these sooner?? if i didn't know any better, i would have thought this was carbon. it feels like shirogami and ginsanko hybrid. in other words, a toothier white steel. love this knife. i wonder if he just added some chromium to iwasaki, lol.
I recently i got a heji semi stainless cleaver, and we've only been on one date. But im in love .so i recenty got a heiji semi-stainless gyuto... let me tell you, this stuff is insane!! why havent i tried one of these sooner?? if i didn't know any better, i would have thought this was carbon. it feels like shirogami and ginsanko hybrid. in other words, a toothier white steel. love this knife. i wonder if he just added some chromium to iwasaki, lol.
yep, instantly patina'd.I just got one as well. A beast of a knife and I, too, have been very impressed by the steel. I don't know about your sample, but the core steel on my knife formed a patina as fast or faster than what I usually see. I think the emphasis is on SEMI-stainless.
haha, no dice, i'm planning on ordering a 240 in the same specs as soon as i have the funds. i was originally going to get iwasaki but i'm so impressed with the SS i'll stick with it.Yo Panda, when you get sick of this Heiji, I’ll take it no questions asked!
Interesting, how did you find that out?Steel is supposedly this btw

I'm getting some Heiji carbons - anyone had both? How do they compare.
The Toyama is 250g , the Heiji is 285g. The handle on the Heiji is heavier, but it still has a more blade heavy balance than the Toyama. It feels completely different in the hand.I have a recent 270 heiji and toyama feel smaller? Or does slight refer to something else. . I remember when I got my first 270, a tf, and that thing was huge. The heiji by comparison reminds me a lot of my 270 ginga, actually.
Yoshi skd is Pretty good stuff. I prefer heiji....it’s been a few years since I used yoshi skd.Curious how the semi stainless compares to yoshikane skd. Anyone tried both? The descriptions seem to echo each other.
