Recommend me a gyuto (white/blue core, stainless clad)

[agp]

Best recommendation- if I had bought this knife first, I would not have spent so much money on others I barely use

I don't like the fact that I can't find anywhere to buy it.

Togashi is excellent, but price point is beyond budget typically

Might end up with this one... But really want the 210mm.

You really use it so often, even with your new Kono? I saw the Nobo a few weeks ago at JNS and was hesitating to pull the trigger as I couldn’t find a lot of info on it.

Just search Toyama in these here forums and you will see a lot of threads raving about Toyama. Lots of threads or google - lots there as well

it’s listed under best makers alive today, tons of comparisons Between Wats and Toyama and more recently, a post comparing Mazaki to Toyama - you can guess who won

Really disappointed I cannot find anywhere to buy these online.

glad you listed Watanabe - toyamanabe. I was going to mention JNS as the only place you get Toyama

But Watanabe comes darn close

MTC kitchen - has the perfect 210 stainless clad Watanabe - grab it now!

While it’s in stock

I almost want to buy one so I can actually compare to my stainless clad Toyama 240 from JNS

Sadly I ordered another knife from Watanabe, so MTac will have to wait

I bought a nakiri from Watanabe and paid extra for kasumi polishing. I'm still irked that what I received looks exactly like a Toyama but with different kanji. It's very thin and fully convexed, not the heftier wide bevel that Watanabe's kurouchi is known for. But it was cheaper than a Toyama, if that's what you're looking for.

For Wat Nakiri - KU Pro is best - hefty and destructive- my 210 came in at 307 gm

Ok I might get the Hitohira Togashi... waiting for 210mm gyuto or ktip to get back in stock somewhere...

You checked out the Watanabe 210 Gyuto on MTC? - 360

Also JNS should be getting the 210 Toyama back in stock in a couple of months maybe - if Togashi does not come through

You are most definitely looking at the right knives - making good decisions

i found some Togashi in stock for you mate here in Aus, pricey though

Also, there are 2 Watanabe 210 Gyuto at AZ custom knives - one has that killer rosewood handle - but the other one is 375 - the fancy handle one is 425, but a beauty

This is the only 210 I see and it is out of stock?

Bought a watch from Spain a few weeks ago and it never arrived. Maybe it got lost at sea and got picked up by the covid bat. So I'm trying to avoid international shipping for a while.

I like the magnolia handle with black ferrule better. Not really a fan of dark handles. Got this bookmarked and will get it if I can no longer wait for the Hitohira Togashi. Actually I'm probably more likely to get the existing Hitohira 240mm gyuto before I get this though. I think the Hitohira looks so much nicer.
