Been using my first Japanese knife and loving it. It's a rather small (170mm) Bunka style but perfect for my prep work at home. I'm a backyard warrior who loves the grill and smoker. I like to entertain friends and family at least twice a month. I like to do large cuts of meats on the smoker. While my Victorinox 12" slicer has served me well in the past, I'm looking for a new slicer. Don't really need one, just want one. Doesn't have to be a Japanese knife, but I really like the one I just got. When you read about Japanese knives, they talk about cutting fish, or octopus. I'm not going to be breaking down giant tuna or such, but I will frequently do brisket, prime rib, or pork loin, etc.
I was wondering if a Takobiki or Sujihiki would be more appropriate? Maybe something else? I have never used either and was asking for advice from someone who has used either or both. Never used a single bevel knife either.
I absolutely love the Okada white #2 300mm Takobiki. I would buy it right now if I found one in stock. Maybe the Yoshihiro 270mm Sujihiki is more appropriate?
Here are my stats:
Live in United States
Right handed
Pinch grip if I can.
270mm and up.
Maybe damascus cladding, but not a must. I do want eye candy. lol
CKTG has an Okada White #2 BBQ sword 300mm listed (not in stock). Perhaps that may be my best option if it ever comes back in stock?
Thanks for any input.
