Rock chopping? Man, that's like using a Porsche as a Bobcat. The Kato 210 is made for push/pull cutting.

After a bit of googling, I honestly completely agree. It's me not having my terms correct. I meant push/pull cutting. Read: "I find it a bit to short for push/pull cutting"
 
I was going to write a post about how that might be true for gigantic american white onions, but what on earth are you cutting here in Denmark where a 210 is too small for general use?
 
There isnt really anything I can't cut with it, I just find that the part of the blade that I like to use is closer to my grip, than what I'm used to. Though I'm sure, that I just have to adjust to the shorter and more narrow blade.

I was exceptionally lucky to be checking my email at the same second that Maxim send the email with the new Katos and Shigs.

Now I just regret that I went for the 210 and not the 240 :laugh:

I've had both... I first got the 210 then the 240 a month or so later. I actually sold the 240 because I preferred the 210. Don't get me wrong the 240 is great, but I just found the 210 to be a better allrounder. I also have a 195 standard Kato and it is awesome too.

Worth replacing for a 240 if it is too small.... no shortage of buyers here too!

Nice looking piece!
Let me know how it works out for you. I have been looking recently and those have come up a time or two.

I just finished putting it through the paces, but honestly my opinion shouldn't carry much weight as I only have a German knife frame of reference for comparison.

That said, my father and I were slicing and chopping and both somewhat awestruck by the performance. (Refer to previous paragraph). What jumped out at me was the tactile nuances of the knife. I've never used a knive that has spoken so loud to me before, while cutting. I sliced some oranges and I could almost feel every tiny bubble of orange juice popping under the blade, it really was a treat.

Again, my knife repertoire prior to this one consisted of Henkels and San Moritz's. This knife is in an entirely different league. I'm actually glad that I wasn't able to find the laser knife I was looking for. Anything thinner than this would have likely been a bit intimidating for me, in that the transition to such a thin blade would have had me pretty tentative.

The lightness of the knife is unusual for me also. It seems very organic though in that I feel a lot less like I'm wielding a tool and more like a natural extension to my arm.

Sorry for the starstruck review, I really wish I could compare it to something closely relevant but I just don't have that experience yet.

Kevin.
 
@Evilsports holy smokes what a jump. Enjoy the heck outta the thing. FWIW I think it's the 2nd lightest of my knives of same length, right after my lasery knife
 
Sweet Christmas. What are the two knives below the bottom Gengetsu?
 
My wife got into my wish list and got me an early Valentine's Day gift. I think I'll keep her.
