WTB 225mm Gyuto

[Chang]

Lookin’ for a new toy to play around with at home and work. I can finally say that 225mm of edge length is definitely my sweet spot, so anything in that size or close to that size would be best. Any steel is fine and I would prefer a workhorse but I don’t mind a laser too. Let’s see what you guys got!

Have you tried a Konosuke Fujiyama or Y. Tanaka made 240? Theyre under sized and register in around 230. Oh but iron clad...

Would love to try an FM and a Y. Tanaka if could get my hands on one. I love iron and carbon cladding. Trying to spend under 400.

I have a masashi w#2 nashiji finish (stainless clad) and a wat b#2 gyuto a bit over 210 but not 225 for sale (need to move em fast). Let me know!

Check the measurements as you should find Y Tanakas listed as 240 with an edge of 225 because of how they measure?

Most Sakai 240mm will fit the bill because they measure from spine to tip... so edge length usually floats in the 225-230mm range. This Togashi is definitely more on the workhorse side of things as well. I echo the recommendations for a Y Tanaka if you can grab one under 400, that’s my daily driver right now and it is totally amazing.

Keep an eye out for Tanaka Yohei line from Hitohiro/strataportland and other places. Hits everything your looking for including price. I really love the one I tried and have one arriving from strataportland in a couple of days.
