3 years ago I was cooking at my son's house and left my chef knife there, when I got home I realized I wouldn't be back for a while so decided to go on line to look for a new knife, had been using the same knife for a few decades, did lots of research/shopping, found the CKTG website and this forum, bought a Shun at a local kitchen store but returned it-thought it was too expensive and seemed impractical, then bought a Tojiro DP gyuto and a Konosuke HD gyuto. Learned to sharpen, which has been very rewarding, and have had about 50 knives come through my house, still discovering my preferences and enjoying the journey. Still miss my old knife, it was ruined by a "sharpener" who sharpened it on a grinder. It was a no name 9" french shapped stainless, with a bolster, had a low heal height. Still wish there were more 225mm gyutos available.
