New Knife Day... and a couple of comparisons to old.

First new from JNS. Yoshikazu Tanaka 210mm Gyuto and Munetoshi 165mm Petty arrived today.

Then a comparison with my Watanabe 210mm Gyuto. 210mm is always 210mm even if measured from differnt points, right?

And the Wat should have been cleaned better before I brought the camera...

Got a new one today! Just a plain Jane Zwilling Pro 6” Traditional. I have the impression we mostly lean somewhat more Japanese, but I wanted a workaday tool I can keep out for small jobs and root vegetables, etc. F&F is basically flawless. I like it!

 

[Lpn562]

Finally started to use.

 

[Johanshi]

Finished up this Kurosaki Houou 2 days ago. Pleased

Yoshimi Kato SG2/R2 Large Nakiri (Chuka)
180 mm x 73 mm, 200g. Just a big ‘ol crazy laser.

Put my ”box cutter” to good use this morning (received a bunch of larger 36cm internal diameter stainless steel mixing bowls).

 

[Dgilks]

Will Newham Spicy White Honyaki. Impeccable fit and finish with a great whispy hamon. Geometry looks amazing and the blade is well balanced and weighted.

Just received my Shigeki Tanaka 240 Ginsan Lite from K&S. Got this understanding it was supposed to need some work on the choil and spine, but it is certainly serviceable and comfortable enough until I get to it. Sharpest knife OOTB I have ever purchased. Loving the weight, balance and cutting feel. Didn't realize I was a 240 guy until this knife.

Kono Madei Sumiiro Bunka. Very happy with this pickup

I have the 240 of this… absolute stunner.

Sorry, sure: it is a Carter Muteki from Taylor Shields.

I have had 3 Muteki knives before, I did enjoy all of them, but this 4th one is my favorite. I think it is because of its simple yet elegant appearance, as well as its profile and balance. It just feels good!

What do you think of these Mutekis? I have had my eye in them forEVER but just haven’t pulled the trigger. What’s the grind like? Thin? Distal? Chunky? Laser-y?

Mutekis are definitely on the thinner side, max. midweight. One thing you need to know is that the knives are pretty much everywhere profile-wise. I mean, if a particular knife is what you're looking for and you are pretty sure you do like the profile, then go for it. But you'll never see that particular profile again, ever. In other words: Carter will sell everything on his site, not any 240 gyuto is similar to another...

Most of the time the teenager grabs the 165mm tojiro's. Came down after she had breakfast to this.

Thankfully most of my knives are up for anything.

 

[esoo]

I have the 240 of this… absolute stunner.

I sold the bunka as ultimately the profile didn't agree with me. That said I would suspect that the 240 would be fantastic knife.

Tried taking a "good" pic. Actually think it came out rather well.

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

This Western handled gyuto is a piece of art from @KAMON Knives. 308.5 / 68 / 345g of pure perfection. Apex Ultra, that is.

Oh, before I forget to mention it, this is a friendly loaner (I put the other one in the pic just for size reference - it is 282mm long) but I am seriously considering not sending it back to Ben… Come and get me!!!

 

[KAMON Knives]

I know where you live @daddy yo yo!... Or... Do I actually?

Nope.

[KAMON Knives]

Nope.

If the winner in this encounter is chosen by who has the most Kamons then I'll definitely loose
