So hes lying?Uh huh.
yo bk when you gonna pitch in with your impressions on maz??
My thoughts exactly.
Aaaaaaaannnd Mazaki incoming. Too good of a deal to pass on.
my reasoning for picking one up was not the price although it certainly was a welcome aspect.
#1 reason was the profile along with its unique set of specs (taller, runs long, pointy tip, plus the thick spine with strong distal taper and thin behind the edge was a HUGE part of it). it basically matched what i would order if i were to get a fully custom.

I choose not to use righty d-handles just on principleit's like wearing a shirt inside out. In the $200$300 range, there are lots of lefty friendly, octagon handled gyutos to choose from. To me, no gyuto is so great that I'd buy a righty d-handle knife.
Can't flip the handle myself, no tools or glue in my NYC apartmentbuying them just adds to the cost of the knife.
Hey, no worries. Not sure its like wearing a shirt inside out but everyone has their own reasons. I just put it out there since I am a lefty and have had a severe gyuto obsession for about 10 years and owned lots of righty d handles. No tools or glue needed for most. Just takes a wood block. I only suggest looking into it because I would have missed out on tons of amazing knives if I only went for octo handles.
What did U get Chef? I have a 270 Otw from JNS. Love my 180 petty. Caught and released a 180 gyuto
(yes i like it more than the ks!!)
I guess this past week. Started looking again a couple months ago but not that I actually have some time, I figured that I could start posting again haha.wait... chuck... when did you start posting again?
It's very reactive at the moment like any iron clad, I imagine it will call down once a stable patina is built up. Retention is good, but let's be honest nothing white steel gonna last as long as Watanabe. My previous longest lasting white was munetoshi.
Interesting that you say the cladding is very reactive. I have the old JNS version and it has the least reactive iron cladding I've seen. Almost semi-stainless. Just takes a light grey patina without any funky colours.
I have one on the way from cleancut and really looking forward to it.
Minimal reactivity means a lot to me...Id like to hear more about this. Also, Maxim etched some Mazakis and posted them on Instagram, they look nice...I believe he said the had clouds.
Had it about 6 months. Probably my 3rd most used knife at work. It doesn't get any special treatment. Never removed the patina other than the wide bevel when sharpening. I'm pretty sure there's no lacquer on the blade. Surely it would have disappeared a long time ago. I was hoping the cleancut version would have similar reactivity
That one is the newer grind from jki, right?
