Hi Knife Nuts!,

Wanted to join since I already support one of the members businesses here.

My favorite knife lengths are 180-200mm for small quick preps, 210mm gyutos for an in between gimme some variety, and on the high end, ~225 is a slice of heaven with anything up to 255mm being about my max. I like my knives, whether it be cladding design or handles, with character, but not guadiness. Thanks for having me!

P.S. Slice Of Heaven will never do a BST with Sponge Cake - so don't ask

Welcome. Which 225mm knives are your favorites so far, and which knives do you most often use on the sponge cake?

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!

Welcome. Which 225mm knives are your favorites so far, and which knives do you most often use on the sponge cake?

My favorites are a Mazaki W2 gyuto that is just south of 225, and a Sukenari R2 that is just north of the mark. I enjoy both of them for their grinds, and even though the tips aren't super thin, both 1mm @ spine ~1cm from tip, the weight of the knives seems to help them glide through produce.

I've never cut into a sponge cake with a j-knife, yet.
