Choosing between these two knives. The Ikeda looks like it has a longer flat spot which I like. If all things are even, I'd choose a stainless clad knife, but it's not a huge deal. I'd also consider the Gengetsu semi stainless if it were recommended. Currently leaning a little to the Ikeda

Great price even adding 10%. Good on you OP

Mine's 206g. Picked up about 3 mo ago.

Steel is unspecified. Harder than an HD2, listed at 63-64 HRC on CKTG. The edge length is longer than most Kono's for their specified size. Not a very tall Gyuto.

I really really like that handle. Every piece compliments the others. Great knife.

I use paper towels to wipe off my knifes. I find them more absorbent than any cloth towels. And I don't have to be careful on the edge... other than my hands.

Is a 270 Yanagiba good for cutting boneless raw chicken? I guess even a Suji? I'm using my lowest profile 240mm gyuto's for the task currently.

Thanks a ton to both of you for your first hand insight, as well as the photos. Since the Toyama is only $40 more, I'll probably be picking that up. I have a 240 Toyama gyuto I really like. I came across the Mazaki recently from another post, and checking out the profile on JNS the distill...

Looking for a good midrange suji. Mostly will be cutting raw meat and fish, and occasionally cooked protein.

I put my carbon steel pans in the oven a lot to finish meat. I've learned to leave a pot holder on the handle after taking them out. I've been burned relying on my short term memory. Habit helps with cooking, and sometimes gets in the way too.

Last Monday, could anyone find the product pages for the 240mm Shig and 210, 240mm Kato gyutos? I searched 10 minutes after receiving the email and couldn't find them on the available or sold out product pages. There was a Shig yani available the week earlier that I could only find by...

I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a nice knife bar? I was going to ask if the ones at JNS were worth the cost or if something else is recommended as a better value. I see none of theirs are in stock anyway, so any recommended knife bar with a strong magnet is appreciated...

Looking for a retail saya for my Toyama that will fit. I don't really need anything that looks stunning. Just something simple that fits well.

That walnut board is stunning. I agree he does some really superb work. I love my maple board from him.

All good now, thanks

I've never posted or introduced myself, but have lurked for a while. Today I was unable to connect to the buy/sell/trade forum, and I was wondering if accounts suddenly needed enabling to do so. My name is Ryan, and I started accumulating J knives about a 2 years ago. I have a handful of 240...
