I'm glad to see all the love for 210 pettys lately...I thought that spaceconvoy and I used to be the ones who saw value in them.
But after using my 210 Suisin regularly for six months, I'm really starting to think that a 240 suji with the perfect profile and yo-handle(can't believe I prefer a yo) would suit me better as my main knife at home--Gesshin Ginga I've been looking at you.
That's funny, I feel the same way. I just sold my 210mm wa-petty because I prefer a western handle. Larger petties with a typical 30mm heel height should give you barely enough knuckle clearance to chop (if you hold the knife with the tips of your fingers). But a wa-handle is much bigger and you can only chop with your hand off the board.
