Serious? Why in the world can you say that? I have never used photoshop to any of my pics. I zoomed of course, that's it.

Lolz. It was a joke man. You have to admit that looks almost cartoonish- it’s pretty wild as grinds go, almost looks fake. But I’m sure it’s just incredible.

Have to kinda constantly remind myself this is a serious place and jokes don’t work so well.

And take back what you said about my handle!

It’s the best handle ever made

It’s the Whole Foods of handles. All organic and gluten free too.

How dare you! This is a respectable place sir! Please keep laughter to a minimum. Good day.

Not quite sure what I got myself into with this one but I'm sure it'll be fun. I have an older Ironclad Toyama which is skinny and then I got a stainless clad Toyama which is a bit chunkier and much more of the WH. Anyways my buddy did some work for me and he wanted to be paid with a knife. I felt the stainless clad toy would be a perfect knife for him he'd keep for ever but than I freaked out and wanted to replace it before it was even gone.

Decided to get a wat. Saw this one in the specials. Only one without a hideous handle and the height is 62mm so I thought it would be a cool knife. Bought it before the wat bashing that took place otherwise I might have thought twice. Slight impulse buy so I didn't gather all the specs before purchasing. Just arrived today less than a week after ordering which is amazing in these times.

it is a 354g monster.

Holy crap, 354g.
I'm almost glad I didn't impulse buy it when I saw it lol.
How do you like it so far?

It's a little bit hard to get jokes, if you're not a native speeker. So all fine of course.

I lied it’s only 352g. The jury is still out on it. It feels like a gyuto shaped cleaver.

Thats Goldilocks territory for some members

What knife are we talking about? Sounds intriguing!

Edit: ignore that, I’ve read through 45 posts now and I’m up to speed. Congrats @TSF415 ! Your description reminds me a lot of my old Sab which I consider to be a sancleavertoku.

This one @Carl Kotte, ~20 grams over but that's enough metal to mess up improve the finish and modify geometry to your liking.

Probably only 150g of accident waiting to happen. And then you’ll have an awesome heavyweight nakiri.

With a hollow grind.

Yea, it’ll just be a standard concave wide bevel. Pretty good!

Thanks. At the end of the day it might just be too heavy for me but we'll see when we get there.

Ittetsu KU 180 gyuto

I took advantage of sharpknifeshop’s sale and a 10% code on top of that.

I wanted to check it out to see if it could work as a tall petty.

I’d be curious to know how it fares

My gyuto size is 210. So in hand without using it yet, I wanna say “....no....yes....maybe someone larger?”

 

[BillHanna]

I’ve sacrificed an onion. It’s not gonna be a petty for me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. OOB, I like it better than my Shinko Seilan 210. Its thicker out of the handle, and thinner at the tip. Both are pluses for me. In fairness, maybe the 30mm makes a difference there. I think for 125USD, I did pretty well. I plan on getting the nakiri.

Takada no hamono shirogami 210

absolutely loving this ootb, great finish and sharpness. Amazed by the soft iron clad dings treatment leading to a lack of patina formation and reactivity, even on the core steel! Any one have any answers as to what they do?
