I completely understand. I'll keep an eye out if you decide to start a new list.

Goes out to Rick tomorrow according to plan; my impressions to follow soon thereafter.
This past week has been a difficult one at Casa Chifunda...we almost lost both our dog and my daughter's puppy but all seems to be well now.
It's only a dog, until it's your own.
Knife has arrived in Tampa, opened in kitchen, bad day to be a carrot.
Look forward to spending some time with it.
I'm a little unclear with regard to how far from the edge you are taking your measurements....
Kato 24cm gyuto 0.45 0.38 0.39

This knife arrived today. The box is toast but the knife is in good shape. I'm gonna clean it up and touch it up. +1 to the sword comments. This is a beastly knife.

I'm curious to hear what those knives are.Regardless, I think I'd pick this knife over a typical Shig although I still prefer a couple of other knives in my stable.
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm curious to hear what those knives are.

Me too!
Pretty much... Of the "stock" gyutos, I like my Gengetsu the best. I also continue to reach for (and buy) Devin and Tilman's knives. Then there are the one's I've modified myself. Those include Glestain, A-type, and Heiji. I like my Carters a lot but the edge retention just isn't there. I happen to be baby-sitting an Ashi honyaki that's pretty awesome, too. Okay... I'm rambling. I'm going with Gengetsu for a stock knife.It is a pretty sizable stable. I am going to say some of TK's top cutters include but are not limited to: Devin's, Gengetsu, & Carter SFGZ.
