Hey everyone. I'm looking for a laser to add to my quiver. I'm leaning towards stainless or semi stainless but I would rather have the best possible knife then worry about the steel. Would like something a little bit taller(50mm minimum but would like a little more than that.) Definitely willing to spend more on a decent grind. 210mm-240mm. The priority here for me is sharpness (I guess that's why people buy lasers).
LOCATION
USA - San Diego
KNIFE TYPE
Gyuto
Are you right or left handed?
Right
Are you interested in a Western handle (e.g., classic Wusthof handle) or Japanese handle?
Japanese
What length of knife (blade) are you interested in (in inches or millimeters)?
210mm-240mm - also looking for higher profile 50mm+ blade height
Do you require a stainless knife? (Yes or no)
No
What is your absolute maximum budget for your knife?
$600
KNIFE USE
Do you primarily intend to use this knife at home or a professional environment?
Home
What are the main tasks you primarily intend to use the knife for?
Delicate and precise meal preparation
What knife, if any, are you replacing?
This would be my second japanese knife. I have a Yoshikane SDK that I love. Now i’m looking for a laser to add to the collection.
Do you have a particular grip that you primarily use?
Pinch
What cutting motions do you primarily use?
Push cut, slice.
What improvements do you want from your current knife?
I want a super sharp laser that falls through veggies.
Better aesthetics?
don't care. But do like a nicely finished knife
Edge Retention (i.e., length of time you want the edge to last without sharpening)?
Ideally medium to high.
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
Do you use a bamboo, wood, rubber, or synthetic cutting board? (Yes or no.)
I have a rubber board and an HDPE board
Do you sharpen your own knives? (Yes or no.)
YES (currently using a king two sided with great results) will upgrade soon if the steel I buy requires it.
thanks everyone!!!!
