240mm Nakagawa Ginsan, sharpened by Morihiro
Upgraded K&S heart-shaped ebony with blond horn handle
Used for 5 meals at home, and did a few swipes on an aoto when I first received it. I upgraded to the K&S heart shaped ebony handle because I really like the one on my Myojin. On this knife, I asked for the shorter version of the handle that they label as for a 210mm gyuto in order to keep a more forward balance which I think worked perfectly. The knife is a solid midweight contender without the wedging that typically comes with the size. Profile is an all-around one that has some flat spot near the heel and a medium amount of rise toward the tip. The choil came rounded and polished on both sides.
The knife still has the original lacquer coating. A bit of it on the left side near the edge has worn off as you can see in the photo (they're not scuffs or scratches).
