Eight? 8!!!!??? I should have signed up for more . . .No
(It think I ordered 8 knives to be delivers over the next couple of years)
:cool2: Indeed. So what wood did you select?I have a 180 in the making and we will see pics of this one in september.
Mark from BS has already sent the wood for the handle and saya, so this will be one real beauty...
This is true. And, unless one has unlimited funds, a new pair of shoes, or a couple of bottles of Germain-Robin brandy are perhaps a better investment. Nevertheless, I'm also looking forward to my 180mm Marko gyuto. I chose the ringed gidgee . .Marko's knives are high on my curiosity list. Maybe I will come across a knife I really want to keep, but for a hobby cook like me, there is not much I cannot already do with my Carter or Watanabe gyutos...

KS 240 Masamoto and save $200 for weed. (Humboldt County Purple Haze)
No offense to Marko (sorry bro) but are you guys serious? He's never made one?
I got 3-4 weeks out of mine, daily use in a pro environment (with the occasional quick strop), before it was in dire need of resharpening. Compared to my Misono carbon, which barely makes it a week, I think the Masamoto does fairly well. Neither are exceptional compared to some stainless steels though.what is edge retention of Masamoto? Many folks swear by white steel, but did anybody try to see how long it holds the sharpness before a knife needs resharpening?
That's the first time I've heard of yellow steel being mentioned!! Some direction on that please?
Yellow steel #2 = White Steel #2 with (a maximum) five-thousands of a percent more phosphorus and two-thousands of a percent more sulfur (sulphur for old-skool UK readers). It's probably fair to say it's what you do with it that counts. I like the look of those Sadayasu gyutos, care to let us know a bit more about them?
I'd spend my money on a new style Del Ealy!!:knife: I like his enthusiasm and commitment to make the best possible chef's knife!!
I like his distinctive style and look of his knives. I met him and saw his knives at this year's ECG and was tempted to get one of his knives, but I am not a fan of carbon knives......but now he is also making them in AEB-L, so watch out!!irate1::drool:
