Thought I’d start posting some of my knives here. Thanks KKF for throwing me headfirst down the rabbit hole, and to all the members who’ve been so generous with their time and advice- you guys are seriously awesome!
I’ll start with my three amigos, a trio of Kato 240 KU Gyutos. Left and right are the standard B2s (right has the kao kanji, originally from Morihei). Middle was bought used, with the handle replaced. Profile is less tall and longer than the newer B2s, and was originally purchased from Kikuhide Ginza as a white steel. Haven’t used the BNIB ones, but love how the middle cuts. I prefer beefier profiles on my gyuto
