So, I was talking to JKI Jon about his nakiris and such, and he said that gyutos could do anything that a nakiri could do in addition to more stuff, and that since he caters to pros he doesn't have the widest selection of nakiris.
It wasn't the first time I've been told that, but I figured it was time to pick up a cow sword of my own. With all the TF threads, I figured if there would be any knife that could convince me to switch to a gyuto (within budget) it would be a TF.
Of course, being a non-profit ranch dedicated to rehabilitating nakiris, I decided to take in an abused TF Denka. It came in with a very uneven profile (3 - 4 cm of the heel did not touch the board at all) and more chips than a bag of Lays. I spent a lot of time getting her back in shape, but here she is:
I've taken her for a spin, but will use this thread to write down my thoughts as I go along.
Thanks for reading,
