anyone ever try their stainless gyuto? particularly the moly 240mm wa version. grind/profile, thickness/width, weight?
congrats
but it will be a hell to maintain...
If you maintain any knife to the level that bieniek does, they are all hell to maintain!Is this because a takobiki is harder to sharpen than a yanagiba? Or are you referring to single bevel knives in general or something else?
if its ok for me to comment, i will say the ootb edges are so-so on the double bevels and slightly less on the single bevels (as is often the case with single bevel knives)

Your ultimate interest conflicts with the interest of the questionnaire's. You may feel this may be unfair, but in your industry this is how it is.
Besides, I don't see Yoshihiro talking trash about your business anywhere.

As the starter of this thread I think you should mind your own business, and not resurrect an old thread to trash-talk anyone-especially Jon.Since your a direct competitor, even if your honest-your opinion may be taken as biased.

I don't think Jon was talking trash about Yoshihiro. He was stating a fact. many and I mean many Japanese knife makers and some quite well known send out knives that are not that sharp. They leave it up to the owner to open up the blade and put a working edge on it themselves. They are in the business of making knives and we are in the business of making them work properly for our uses. I can assure that Jon will not talk trash about these makers many of them are his friends and business associates. He has always been honest and straight forward about the products he sells and that is why he is very well respected. I personally and many other members welcome what comments Jon has as we know that we will be getting a straight and true observation.Since your a direct competitor, even if your honest-your opinion may be taken as biased.

My wife purchased a YOSHIHIRO- Shiroko-Kasumi Yanagi Sashimi Shitan Handle 10.5" knife. I used it once and chipped the blade on a fish bone. The company refused to take it back or replace it. I would not recommend their products after this experience.
Their knives are inferior products and grossly over priced.
Welcome to KKF.
Yanagibas are intended to be used on boneless fish. Your "complaint" appears to be based on misuse, if not outright abuse, and is worthless.
