I'm watching Carbon Cut out of Denver for a Gihei 240mm Nashiji Blue Gyuto but, I'm wondering about the SLD and HAP40 options. It looks like they generally stock the SLD versions too but, I would have to go to CKTG for the HAP40 versions.
The Gihei 240mm Nashiji Blue Gyuto seems like a better "Heiji workhorse" for me but, it has been out of stock for a long time. CKTG has the 210mm version in stock so, I have considered it.
Are there any differences in the grind of the Gyuto in different steels? I'm looking for thin BTE, a little convex for food release, and some distal taper for a good balance, and enough "meat" to be a pseudo-workhorse. This will complement a Laser Gyuto, 165mm Nakiri and, a Sugimoto semi-stainless cleaver.
TIA,
Sid
