Thanks

I picked up a 240mm gyuto from Tsubaya. If anyone could translate the writing on the blade, I'd be very grateful. Thanks for any assistance! :)

Correct, Tsubaya. 45mm at the heel.

This just arrived today, 240mm gyuto. It was sold and labeled as Takada No Hamono and appears to have the same fit and finish as my other knives of the same maker but, I was surprised that it didn't carry the Takada No Hamono emblem/stamp on the blade. I'll be doing prep work with it this...

I've been super happy with this one. Big and weighty enough to get the job done with a fine tip for detailed work. Sukenari HAP40 270mm Weight 242g Total Length 408mm Tip to Heel Length 257mm Blade Height at Heel 52mm Width of Spine Above Heel 2.5mm Width of Spine at Middle of Blade 2.2mm...

Finally picked up a Kurosaki with a Western handle. Having used it for 5 or 6 meal preps, it's a solid performer, feeling light and capable for it's size. SG2 Western Gyuto SG2, Irownwood 194g Blade Length 216 mm Total Length 346 mm Blade Height 49.6 mm

Love this, thank you for sharing!

I have a YS-M and several Yoshi and would absolutely agree. The YS-M feels almost delicate compared to the Yoshikanes. Love them both and the Yoshi are definitely a workhorse.

Thanks to the many that provided info on this thread. A good and entertaining read 🔪 .

At first I thought it felt a bit thick but slicing performance has been superb. The more I use it the more I'm impressed by it.
