Really enjoying this Kawachi Gyuto

Nice! Sale was clutch

Kawachi 180mm (185mm) Gyuto came in today. It’s one of the more badass knives I own. Just looks aggressive. I’m loving it.

JNS has a 20% off sale on the Kawachi K-Tips so I just bought the Kawachi 180mm Gyuto K tip!

I hear that. Do not like a very tall short knife. Doesn’t do it for me aesthetically. The 45mm height of the 180 may be perfect. Not sure I’d ever sell my 210 but get what you’re saying.

Amen. Life is short. May be shorter if my wife finds out I bought this knife, so I may wait a minute, but i think I’m sold.

But it doesn’t make me feel things like that Kawachi does and the difference is 0.2mm.

Would be used more as a gyuto with work done on the board. I do like the height as 37mm and my knuckles are touching the board more than I’d like. Very good points.

Drew the black pen on my 210mm. Can’t say there is much of a difference.

Oh my God. I read it so quickly I saw the 180mm and assumed it was a petty. That exolains the height! It’s a gyuto. Hmmm. Trying to decide if that changes anything.

180 Kawachi K Tip height is 45mm. The Mazaki is listed at 37mm (or 38mm, I forget).

Yes Kawachi has stone finished bevels. Just got confirmation.

Huge help. Thank you!

Do you also have a 210mm knife? Thinking more on this, the Kawachi would come in around 7.2” (185mm) with a height of 1.75”. My 210mm Kagekiyo Gyuto is 8” (maybe a touch under) and the same height at 1.75”. Trying to wrap my head around actually needing a 7” knife. My Terayasu Fujiwara 150mm...

Maksim posted this for me. The curve doesn’t look too pronounced. What a stunning knife.
