Been wanting to upgrade my Suisin Inox suji and narrowed it down to two but can't decide..

Masamoto SW 240mm sujihiki

or

Suisin Inox Honyaki 240mm sujihiki

For usage/preference:
Right handed
Professional chef.
Good workhorse knife
Wa-handle (not fussed to be honest)
Stainless
I sharpen all my knives on a weekly basis (minimum) on a whetstone - using a steel if need be
Monosteel (as I play around with the grind/edge ratio every now and then)
K-tip style would be nice but very hard to find a nice k-tip sujihiki....


Would love to hear opinions and pros and cons of each knife.
Also open to any suggestions.

Thanks
 
I prefer the 240mm Suisin Gyuto. I just feel that the weight is right and well balanced. So it feels very nice in my hand and very sharp too.
 
For your use, masamoto, own both lines in various vrsions and Suisin is nimbler but also much thinner, since you are looking for a workhorse, masamoto would be my choice...

I see, thank you!
What are they like to use and sharpen?
