Bought a Munetoshi 240 Gyuto early this year. Agree with everything said here. I am pleased all around, except in a very humid environment it will show rust in a matter of hours. But that is not unique to Munetoshi and something I can work around.
sorry what's TLC ?One tip. The Munetoshi handles need some TLC - they seem completely untreated and can use some fat. I have been using coconut oil for a few weeks now and it works very well. The handle on my petty has turned into a very nice brown.
TLC=Tender loving caresorry what's TLC ?
Nice work mate this must cut very nicely !Bought a Munetoshi Nakiri.
Fit and finish similar to yours.
Out of the box it was quite bad, it did not cut well at all. It wasnt super sharp and worse it wedged a lot, so I was quite disappointed with it at first, but it had been out of stock for ages, and out of stock again as soon as I bought the one there was, so I decided to fix it rather than return it. It took many hours of grinding and thinning, but in the end it was all worth it, steel and heat treatment is superb. It is the knife I use the most now, and all the work put into it makes it something special for me.
The uneven grinding is due to the knife sides being uneven. A "hill" on one side and a "vally" on the other. The edge is perfectly strait
