Daveb: But I want it...... >_<
That Rakuten link is actually really great! That is definitely a price I can stomach for this. I'm assuming it's the Virgin Carbon? It says "Mouthpiece" on it which isn't overly clear for me though....
That said, another option I just thought about is waiting for the Korin sale and saving 15% on the Suisin as well making it an even better deal. Tough choice here.
Lobby: Can you comment on the Fit and Finish issues? Stuff like rivets not being flush or gaps in handle?
Regarding all the Misono Swedish Steel "Lefty's" you have, have you found a distinct improvement in performance over a "Righty" or Standard one? I know that might be a tough question or you might not have tried any of the standard one's but I guess I'm trying to justify the expense to myself and overall hassle in waiting time for it when a few vendor's (some approved on this forum and some not) have outright told me being a Lefty isn't that big an issue (single bevel's not included in this of course).
I can't give a left vs right comparison of them. I was in the same situation you were and don't regret paying the 15-30% extra for proper left versions. If you're thinking of the 240 it's basically just $25 extra, the sayas Koki has fit the misono knives fairly well and are inexpensive too. I can't say I really see the asymmetry in the choil shot of the Gyutos and such, other than the primary bevel which is quite obvious, but I may not be noticing it as well as an expert would; the asymmetry of the Deba and honesuki are quite obvious. I can upload some pics of the various ones next week.

Hey Everyone,
Ok so slightly silly title aside, does anyone have some experience with these knives for comparison purposes? I know the Fuji FKH is a go to favorite for a budget carbon knife and is all around fairly well regarded but I personally know next-to-nothing about the Suisin. Price wise the Suisin is about $30-$40 more at the 240 and 270mm sizes, the 210mm doesn't interest me at all.
The Suisin is sold exclusively at Korin but there aren't many details given and honestly don't know anyone that owns one.
Was hoping someone that own's these knives specifically the Suisin might be able to chime in about the differences and if you think I should just save $30-40 and get the Fuji FKH? Basically looking for an all around home use Carbon gyuto just for some fun (make cool forced patina designs etc..) and I always like trying out the "budget" stuff to see how it stacks up performance wise to some more costly things.
Thanks!
I have a worn down fujiwara carbon 270mm suji that you can have. Its oversharpened a little and the profile lost a bit of its curvature, but you could still test it to see how you feel about the steel. Sharpens very easy and forms an extremely stable patina if thats your thing. PM me if youre interested.
You said meat, did you use it to cut bones?I often use 330 gyutos to breakdown big pieces of meat interestingly enough
