did i say i cut a carrot/onion in my review?..no..i said the one that is for sale was used to cut 2 things.. but for al the years ive used knives.. so far akifusa/harayuki is the best IMO..which is why these are my current knives......except of course the one (of many) i have for...

in my vast experience decades in the business...privey to use of practically every line out there...thats how I know.....when it was time to invest for my personal use it was the easy choice.

simply put.. the best performing knife ive ever held. very understated and simple.. has a great belly...reminds me of a gesshin kagero(probably same knife ha!!) exceptianal F&F..love the stamped symbols. OOb Sharpness is scary.. it falls throuhg anyting underneath it like its not...

240 MM akifusa/harayuki gyuto...just bought last week..cut one carrot and one onion... i was torn between this and the kikuichi TKC,,,but the wife likes the TKC at the 210MM size so oh well (i liked the akifusa) literally an unreal knife. bought at 220...sell for 199 free ship...email for...

meh...run of the mill non real j knife entry...shouldve gone at least tojiro or fujiwara...just my humble opinion

all ive ver used is allclad..its worth the money as you will never buy another pan.. ive had the same 2 pans for 15 years and they still look new beacuse I also clean with barkeepers friend.. nonstick is for lack of skill .. ANY pan is non stick if used with correct heat and correct oil

totally agree.. but there has to be a starting point. So holding the knife, feeling the balance, feeling the handle, feeling the weight, and getting an overall sense is all I can do PRE using. With the aforementioned things resolved, I can then go with that knife and use it, and go from there...

All of these knives will cut well..and a comfortable knife that feels right, feels balanced and feels like it belongs in your hand is what this is about. So the feel of the choil and how it fits with my grip and my style, is of huge importance. The Hiro for instance had a harsh transition, and...

oh yes price is OK.. so im believing ill be keeping it ..curious how the other 2 stackup with the Hiro and Masa however. I have a solid expectation ill be ordering the Kagero petty as well :)

http://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/gesshin/gesshin-kagero/gesshin-kagero-240mm-powdered-steel-gyuto.html all they have is 2... 210/240

aside from the sale on the Masa.. the across the board price on the masa is 200.. Kagero was 230. I did not think there would be such a significant difference no. I could understand the disparage between the others that are in the 150 range. But this is my first time ever looking at, feeling ...

rapid typing.. "analyzed" easy tiger...

small change on shipping, no insurance or restock concerns. A waste of money( and time) would be to get a knife sight and feel unseen and use it and find out I don't like it and sell it for a loss and start over. In the grand scheme ifs I spend 20 or so bucks to return 4 knives... when ill...

Update, I brought the knives home to wife and adult daughter. They both immediately dismissed the Hiro. Daughter ultimately liked the Masa, due to the heavier feel. She has only ever owned german knives( currently Gunter Wilhelm which are tanks) The wife was floored by the kagero. She...

Ok here we go.. Three came in.. Hiromoto, masamoto and Gesshin Hiromoto: Very comfortable handle..medium size Overall weight feels medium/light and the balance is toward the handle very even symmetric blade profile Choil feel is on the harsh side with little comfort and the butt of...

as far as actually using.. I cant.. then I couldn't return 4 of them. They are all great performers im sure, but if If I love the feel/balance/comfort etc, and have preference for profile, then that knife will perform for me. And yes, the height is shorter on the kagero, which I prefer as...

im moving this post.. I didn't notice I had it in the wrong spot

Ok here we go.. Three came in.. Hiromoto, masamoto and Gesshin Hiromoto: Very comfortable handle..medium size Overall weight feels medium/light and the balance is toward the handle very even symmetric blade profile Choil feel is on the harsh side with little comfort and the butt of the...

These came in today.. first 2 of the 5 I ordered. look for pics and my synopsis/feedback coming probably this evening !! The Hiromoto, Sakai and the tojiro will all be here by Wed. So ill have the complete analysis and the Winner then :)

As a reply to a few of the comments ootb edge and sharpness etc.....I don't care if a knife comes ready to split hairs. It could be uber Sharp...but if I hate the overall feel/ balance etc...then sharpness does not matter for that knife. I gotta start somewhere and can't cover every aspect...
