My non-production, custom order, Heiji 225mm Santoku :viking:
Wouldn't having a 240mm santoku make it uber blade heavy considering how tall the blade remains close to the tip? Just seems like a lot of steel in my mind, and the reason they stay relatively short.

Errr :jawdrop:
Very nice!
Almost as nice as my Shig Ku Santoku
:justkidding: I am jealous
Exactly what I've though after looking at pictures. Great knife anyway and price is right. Congrats on this purchaseHuw, that knife looks like a gyuto to me? just cause one calls an elephant a dog doesn't make him an elephant Right? Not that you knife is a dog ;-)
Speaking of good prices I've just pulled the trigger and got a new toy:
Yamawaku 165mm Santoku in V2.
For a 55$ delivered it was hard to resist.
Not that I need another knife, just something else to play and rehandle

330mate via ebay perhaps, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-YA...ndle-chef-knife-Santoku-houchou-/390787169665
Yep, 330mate.
When I ordered mine, they were already sold out. Just send 330mate the length and type of profile that you are interested in, and he'll take your order and tell you final price. There's a waiting time of about 1-2 month for custom orders.
I have no idea how far you can go. In the description of Yamawaku knives on his ebay listings, if you look carefully, there's always an option for different sizes. For example, Santoku is possible in 120,150,165,180mm lengths. Similar options are available for his gyutos.how "custom" are these custom orders?
With mine a very nice convexity starts at some 1cm from the edge, haven't noticed any sticking. Might have to do with the glossy finish OOTB I've removed with worn sandpaper + 2k mud.edge is good, wish the knife had thicker stock as it is plenty thin behind the edge without any convexity so food sticks like crazy.
