40 for 40 Challenge

[AT5760]

You tall heel lovers are going to hate this one, but I think it could be fun idea. 40 days using knives at 40mm or under in heel height.

Who would be willing to join me? Can we get 40 users to commit to 40mm or under for 40 days? We could start at the end of ARM when people have been using knives that are likely 50mm+ exclusively for a month.

I think the only knife I have under 40 at the heel is a 150 petty. Even my suji is 43. That might be tough to get through a whole month using only a 150 petty.

I think someone would have to send me a knife to join this

think that means 210mm (or shorter) sujis...

I think I'm willing to try only use a 240 suji for a week.

I've actually been pondering the use of a 240 suji as 'all round knife'... but I don't have one. Always open to donations.!
Using a 210 petty / suji works great for certain things (like potatoes, where I do a lot of drawcuts) but for all-round use I'd want something with more length. Tried my 270 suji but it didn't really work either. 240 suji might do the trick.
It seems to work for Marco Pierre White... then again so do Knorr stockpots...

Looks like my only knives that fit are petties and boning knives

Time for knife N+1 folks!

I've got a 165x38 petty that gets tons of use and a custom under 40 on the way that prompted this idea.

edit: nvm, didnt read properly. I thought this meant less than 40mm in length.

hmm, the only things I have that are under 40mm height are my munetoshi butcher and a petty. Everything else, even my suji is over 40mm.

<40mm February!

We should extend to 42mm, so the Gesshin Ginga 210s can join.

I think 45 for 45 would be more appropriate. Before the trend to taller knives, it seems like a good proportion of J Knives were 45 and under. 40 and under seems more like pettys
