Yes, 40mm height... and it's actually 170mm it seems. A small gyuto indeed

Sorry to bump this, but could anyone give me the height measurement for the 210 KU gyuto? It's listed at 50mm at JNS but I have read here that the 240mm is 50mm tall so they might have mixed it up.
I've got one of the 165mm pettys and it's actually a really good line knife/all around small knife. Great clearance and height for something that length and easy to tuck out of the way.
Also, in a pinch it'll do just fine doing some bigger knife jobs (cutting a large potato, cleaving an apple, slicing some meat etc..
Its a knife worth having in just about any kitchen/setting. Also, after it patinas a little it's not very reactive, calms down quite quickly
Thank's Captain - that would be great! - and Jaknil
The butcher gets much praise, unfortunately I wouldn't have much use for it at home. Besides the 210, I'm also eyeing the 165 petty. Don't really need a petty right now, but for the price... would be a good knife to improve my sharpening / polishing skills
You taken it to the Aizu yet?
should have asked that before so Captain could weight it when he pulled it out...
@captain, seriously munetoshi might be the sharpest knife I've ever received ootb. Kinda curious what is used to sharpen it what the process is.
Thank's again Captain! I guess now I have ran out of excuses to pull the trigger...
Captain - do you have/had the Toyama 210 gyuto? I was considerig it also, more inclined towards the Mune due to the price, but would love to hear a quick comparison
I have an Itinomonn semi stainless 210 gyuto and at that price it's difficult to imagine a better value for your coin. Maybe it's something to look into if you like a workhorse type blade with a thin edge and nimble tip for less $ than Toyama. I've seen Toyama users compare the two rather closely and favorably.
I believe the 210 Itinomonn at JNS is fully SS (core and cladding). If it was carbon steel (at least the core) I would have bought it already. It's a very good match for what I want. Seems to have very good F&F also. But I'm a sucker for patina and the feel of carbon on the stones...
Do you feel the Iti is easy to sharpen?

I know what you mean about a nice patina on a full carbon blade. FWIW the exposed core takes on a blueish gray patina and it sharpens very similarly to a white #2 knife I currently have. Don't get me wrong the Toyama looks like a really nice choice! If the price was more on par with my budget I would have gone the Toyama route also!
