I was breaking down a bird last night when I got to thinking about this. Theres all sorts of criteria that makes a gyuto great, and not just that but differences that are tailored to each individual and the tasks they do with them. Whether it be a laser or a workhorse or in between, food release, grind, steel type & HRC, the list goes on. In any case with a honesuki its only designed to do one task and I was curious what your opinions are for what makes the best Honesuki.
My thoughts are a steel that can get razor sharp easily, so a carbon of sorts, with a nice thick bevel and lower HRC so its not prone to chipping against accidental bone knicks. I would think an even double bevel would be easier to manouver than single.
I currently own a misono and Im perfectly happy with it, but it doesnt fit the criteria o listed above. Thoughts?
