Picked up a 220 Mazaki Gyuto a couple weeks ago and loved it so much I had to get the 240 to match. Both from Cleancut. Love the profile, weight

and feel of these.
 
Those handles were also used on the first ginsans that came out a few years back.
 
I’ve been using 270s for so long, but I’m starting to appreciate shorter knives so I picked up this Tsourkan 225mm gyuto the other day. 52100 with a KS-based profile, a nice subtle S-grind, and matching bog oak handle & saya. This is the perfect knife to fill in the gap between my 180 & 240 gyutos.

Got a new robert herder 130mm "japanische form" petty. These are brilliant. Its my third one now. The thinness of it makes it my go to for things like dividing carrots in two length ways. The edge doesnt last long but a few swipes on fine ceramic rod and its back, they have never chipped the edge.
Photo shows the older one too which has lost a few mm in length and height from honeing. Its due for a little thinning now which should be easy to diy it as im almost sure its a flat grind or near to it with a tiny edge bevel.
The handles i soak with boiled linseed oil then seal with superglue rubbed in with a gloved finger, and a thin bit of epoxy at the handle blade joint to seal that. Makes it easy maintenace in professional kitchen.

Great snag! I got my first Catche yesterday and it's fantastic!!! I love everything about it. I'm a sucker for nashiji finish and a stiff and sturdy spine with a sharp edge. His knives have it all. Enjoy!

No picture means it didn't happen.

Bought the bocote-handled one out of these two in a failure of willpower.

Ah, sorry man! I missed the ones yesterday so I was ready to pounce today.

No problem enjoy. I missed both days, but yesterday I just started thinking about it, figured it'll be months before more will be available. Was very surprised today, so contacted Will, but it was gone by then. Maybe next time.


Kevin, where's the picture of yours..............
 
Any idea about the steel? Are they sanmai or mono? If San Mai whats the core steel? Couldn't see a cladding line.

Almost certainly san mai. Will’s cladding tends to be closer to the edge than most knives and it’s usually fairly difficult to make out in pictures due to the finish and because there’s less exposed core steel. He typically uses 1.252, 1.2442, or whatever Catchy blue is.

I ran into a couple Hiromotos and snagged them. Both 240s NIB. One is a Honyaki, the other I’m not exactly sure what it is. The price was right so I went ahead bought it, if you know more about it feel free to share. I know the Kanji is hand chiseled but I don’t what steel it is etc etc.

Damn where do you just "run into" Hiromotos like that lol
The First one is a honyaki as mentioned already, the second one is Damascus Clad VG10 and the kanji is the "final works" his last batch ever.

Thank you for the info. Got lucky. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.
 
Not yet a "full" knife , as I need to add a handle, maybe with one out of theses woods and black coral spacer...maybe not .
Still thinking or waiting to have more wood choice.
