Had a lot of fun playing with both the standard and kiritsuke-tipped gyutos at the Midwest Knife Gathering yesterday. These things are really well finished and cut better than any Japanese knives at similar price points that I've handled. I'll be placing an order soon.
Thanks for letting us play with these, pkjames!
Whoa whoa whoa! James! 210s now in stock??? please pm me if they are because i have a couple questions regarding comparisons between the 240 and 210. Btw the black and ringed gidgee handles are making me sweat with rage!!!!SO +#&"&'? Sexy!!!!
Argh. I have terrible timing!yup, blade arrived yesterday. i should be able to put something together very soon stay tuned!
Has anyone compared the Ginsanko to the non standard versions ? I couldn’t find much searching the forums
The ginsanko is a thicker blade. Sorta like Sakai Takayuki ginsanko line.

It was the only Sakura in 240mm gyuto in stock. Did much debating and went for the Sakai Takayuki Sakura over the Sukenari powdered steel or Tanaka Ginsan options.
I’ve had all three and I’d say the Tanaka is the best of the bunch!http://www.knivesandstones.com/sakai-takayuki-syousin-gin-sakura-wa-gyuto-240mm-ginsanko/

I was hoping I didn’t misspoke when I said the ginsanko Sakura was thicker than the blue version.Yes, but the kono blue 1 and 2s were better overall IMO. Much thinner than ginsan though.
Ooooohhhhhhh noooooooo. You were spot on. I almost feel James should be more upfront about how thick those ginsans really are.I was hoping I didn’t misspoke when I said the ginsanko Sakura was thicker than the blue version.
