I have not used mine yet - will start tomorrow - how reactive is yours? This is one beautiful knife!
Interesting to hear about comparison with Kato WH. Maybe you can share more after some more use

I love stainless knives, and I love my Mr. Itous...

I used mine today briefly - simply amazing knife, tip work is brilliant, it stands above the rest with an ineffable quality. If I could only have 3 knives (god forbid), this would be in the top 3After really little usage I ve feeling it s better than my WH Kato in same size
again, my knives are more kitchen use oriented, and I don’t buy purely for collector value, or expensive, flashy looks, or rarity. I only buy knives I can use with freedom and joy in the kitchen - to do what they are supposed to do
you won’t find framed, unused tamahagane Gyuto’ s on my walls anytime soon!

.....fair to say you also love onions and capsicum? Is there a deeper meaning with these two particular vegetable specimens being selected for display next to the knives? Perhaps in how these two react with the steel? Or is there a hidden meaning as to why the onion is on the left and not on the right?
of course, things are diagonal to the grain of the board - clearly, some symbolism there too maybe
@JML please illuminate humble minds like mine

How are those lacquer handles working out with carrots?

I have one knife with a lacquer handle -
And that one is working out really well - it’s a great looking lacquer handle and very comfortable end non-slippery - see below - it’s a beauty, and great in the kitchen. I currently have no ther knives with lacquer handles
ahh, the master strikes again. You asked questions and instead of getting any answers ended up answering yourself, brilliant

I don’t expect answers anymore - it’s simply futile

Can't remember if I'd posted this recent buy, don't think so. Heel to tip 215mm, height at heel is 47mm. Such an iconic kanji, don't even have to say what it is.

You got the 210 Kasumi - it’s an amazing knife - I tried mine today doe the first time. Congrats on one of the greatest knives on the planet

It's a wonderful knife! But I was surprised how reactive the cladding is. Finish on blade is sublime, grind is awesome.

It’s raining Shigs this fall for sure -
Like that song, I’m singin in the rain
I think all Shig’s are quite reactive - I kept a wet cloth and wiped as I used it - I did not do that with my small (165 mm) KU Shig Nakiri and Santoku - and they reacted almost immediately. I learnt from that experience, as those two were my first “entry” level Shig’s because nothing else was available. Sublime is the spot on word to describe this knife btw

I can’t help but to join in on the rain, but surely hoping not raining on anybody’s parade .
Don’t believe I’ve ever posted it here: Shig Kasumi with full convex grind. Reactive indeed, but in a good way.

Cool! Is that the Shig that used to be a nakiri?
Yes, that Shig, the Shig that started out with the wrong identity...

Thought so!

What's the size of that nakiri? Looks quite tall!

Sweet - 210 Gyuto SS clad and 180 mm Nakiri? Latter is sold out at JNS. Love both knives, sold my 180 mm Nakiri as I got a 210 Toyama Nakiri
Waiting for Mazaki- Toyama bake-off review, should be interesting
It’s the 180. I think maybe the last 180 before he sold out. Heal height is right at 59. It’s definitely beefier than I was expecting. Trying to think of something for dinner now that requires lots of prep.

Is the other one a Toyama Gyuto 210mm
Thoughts on the 210 vs the 180? I went with the 180 thinking the 210 would be too big but now I think I might have been okay either way.
