He really did an amazing job. I like how he is putting his makers mark on the tang instead of the blade for full kasumis. Shown with a 250 Yanick for comparison.

Was waiting for this. My MS probably outcuts everything else I have. Grind doesn't do much as far as stiction goes, but actually cutting performance is top notch

Man I'm jelly, was this a custom order?
Yeah it was.
I’m a big fan of Murray’s knives and have several. Of course for the Battle of the Giants it has to be one of his MS versions. One of my earliest purchases of quality knives was Murray’s Perfect Kitchen Knife. It featured as a daily user in my kitchen for years and indeed is a perfect kitchen knife. I also have this “paring” knife from Murray …
It’s probably the sharpest knife I own. But probably not the best choice for wacking russet potatoes.

That's really funny was just cutting some potatoes with mine a day or 2 ago and I'm like man this thing cuts so nice, but now I got like 20 potato slices stuck to my knife

Like a naughty schoolboy
This is going to be a recommend me a knife thread like you've never seen. I'm not filling out the questionnaire because I only care about one thing. Will it sit quietly in the corner? When I cut that food, I want it to sit there quietly. Every time. No drama, no fuss, no onion tears, just well...

The only worthy forum for such an event is KKF! Sorry History Channel!
Damn!!! This is THE Milan to own

Yeah, let us/me know how you like it.
Was on the fence of getting one seeing how these are kinda heavy-weight lasers.
I just cut some meat, lots of onions, bell peppers and chillies for gulasch. This is without a doubt the best cutting knife i have.
The weight combined with the thinness behind the edge and the insane sharpness is such a joy
Compared to the Munetoshi i have it's not that reactive but it got already a nice patina.Can't say anything to the edge retention yet ofc.
I did order from Karasu and they showed me quite a few 210mm gyutos and this 240mm one in a video with all the specs. Really nice customer support
This being a TF, i wouldn't order blind
Very fun, my kyuzo is similar sizing/height and sits at 217g. Will be looking for one of these eventually.

What makes the kyuzos so special? They seem to sell out instantly
I finally scored one of these. Now I’ll just have to watch the mailbox to intercept the credit card statement before my wife sees it.
Happy April 1st

Watanabe - classic santoku shape and size, 50mm x 169mm.
Anryu AS 210 gyuto delivered today, from CKTG. Reportedly, the blacksmith now is Anryu's nephew, Ikeda, but Anryu still supervises. Anyway, the knife is flawless on careful exam. Its very first victim was this piece of carrot my wife already had on the board, which was a tremendous pleasure to mutilate.
BBQ Mazaki from BST. Quick pass on a hard Aizu and good to go. My second one and this profile is simply a good time on the board.
Something new to me besides having just Gyuto’s. Decided to give Nakiri a shot then found something that wouldn’t break the bank and not have buyer’s remorse. Hinokuni white 1 240mm Nakiri. Swapped the stock handle right away with Oak handle.

would love a cutting video
do you think it's worth the sticker price?
I think Tanaka b1 is really quite nice, incredible f&f, big clean wide bevels, etc. reminds me of old school fujiyamas a bit.
