240 Hiromoto honyaki w#2 gyuto

[turbochef422]

Brand new knife just not my style. Looks like a cool knife has visible hamon on both sides. Needs to be rounded on the sharp spots f&f is ok not great. Bought it $320 all in asking $285 shipped conus

Too heavy?

 

[turbochef422]

Too light. Thin. I've been into my Kato and shig lately so this just won't get used

 

[Luvwine]

Surprised no one has jumped on this. Hiromoto is a terrific maker, thin, good steel, and where can you find a Honyaki by a reputable maker so cheap? They will also soon be unavailable due to the maker's retirement....

I wish the exchange rate was better!! I've been waiting for one of these to show up for a long time

 

[turbochef422]

I'd probably trade so send offers.

 

[KCMande]

What did you think was so so about the f&f?

 

[turbochef422]

I'm in love lately with my western Kato so it doesn't compare. I do understand the Kato is double the price though. The Hiromoto's spine isn't rounded or choil. It's really minor things I probably wouldn't have noticed before.

 

[KCMande]

How's the handle? I was going to pick one up for a refurb project, just curious if it would be a decent daily driver for a few days

 

[turbochef422]

I actually like the handle a lot. On the bigger side nicely done in my opinion. If shown a little love this knife could be a ridicules bargain.

 

[chinacats]

Agreed, mine came in today and it is quite a knife if you enjoy a laser. The fit and finish seems very good except as noted with neither the spine nor choil being rounded...and it needs a sharpening

GLWS, this is a really sweet deal for someone. In fact, full retail on these is a great deal, this is a steal!

 

[KCMande]

Sounds like what I'm looking for. I'll take it
