@Midsummer Thanks so much for that. I thought from the pictures that the knife was shorter, let's say 240ish. For me if I could have that profile just scaled down to a shorter length would be ideal. I love the fact it is not that tall for its length. I believe it was a custom wasn't it?

Lars has a bunch of good information here. He was kind enough to let me grab it from him.

Most of my knives are around 50mm in height. I have some 240 mm that are as short as
47. I am surprised at how comfortable I am am at 56. Really nimble as you said. Immaculate finish. I love how his blades cut.

friz,
When you visit Orlando you can try to see how this one cuts.

That is what you want from a knife. If you feel comfortable that is very important.
I, unfortunately, don't have the space and the need of a 270ish gyuto in my kitchen.
Now I recall where you get it from, I offered the guy a trade but alas he wasn't after trades.

Well. This one really tied the room together. I believe we call this an upgrade in the car rental business. More pics to come I’m sure. (The one on the left)

Those look like fire. I always liked the Primus' look, I don't know why I never gave it a go.

I had one and sold, why I don’t know would love to find another one.

Morihei?

Ittetsu. So that one that got away a couple weeks ago? Well this one filled in quite nicely behind it. The vision of course was to get these two in the same room. And it worked. Tbh this was the one I was always after, and somewhere around that deal this one loosened up. In the end got the one I wanted. Teehee

Where did you get that? Please

Yoshimune 240mm. Nice and tall, 53mm. I love this knife. I already had a 210mm gyuto and regretted not getting the 240. Came up second hand at a price I couldn't refuse. Took it to work the last few days & really gave it a workout. Great all around performer.

Nice. Did you have them rehandled or they came like this? I am waiting for the Nakiri version to be delivered and the stock handles are not as nice as yours. Not sure if I will rehandle myself or outsource.

Picked it up going home from work. Todays dinner unfortunately didn't require any knifework , but it effortlessly chopped and sliced an onion and a tomato as a quick otb test.

While I prefer his forged work, this Mert Damasteel gyuto is hot! So classy...

Would love a western from mert one day. That thing is gorgeous.

Kind of looks like a lefty bias, but doesn't feel or act like it.

Seeing all those knives in the background reminds me. I still have about 30 more to purge to get down to my industry standard recommended dose of 30. Coming to a bst near you.
