Toyama 270 gyuto
Now..... are you using it to cut the shredded wheat? :biggrin: JK Beautiful knife!!! :doublethumbsup:
Wonderful choice.
It took a while but I somehow managed to complete the set. Kato 210 gyutos (KU, kasumi standard, and damascus standard). Marble Zero Gravity knife stand by Chef Duy. Thanks, Chef Duy for such a wonderful stand. Special shout out to my bro, Steve (pd7077).

this thing is tall and stupid thin behind the edge, basically a gyuto cleaver with the most laserish usable tip. i dont care for the profile but i can easily adjust to it and/or alter it.
loving the handle, it's been my unicorn handle forever. d shape burnt chestnut. but i must admit, i still think the 'best quality' handle i've had was an upgraded keyaki octagon from watanabe.
food release is crappy, it's more of a laser but with some weight if that makes any sense.
btbyrd, how is the grind on the sukenari? looks a lot like a thinner KS but way more asymmetric.
The grind is nice. Looks more asymmetric than it feels, if that makes sense. No steerage through hard stuff, and good performance cutting product horizontally (parallel to the board). And the ZDP is stiff enough that there's very little flex even though the blade is on the longer side. I attached a choil shot of the R2 210, which has a similar grind. As you can see, it's also pretty dang thin behind the edge. There's a lot of core steel exposed.
They're not quite lasers because of their moderately thick spines, but are laser-y toward the edge for sure. The convex grind and thickness at the spine gives the blades good food release for their thinness. They like to cut potatoes.
I'm curious how the less expensive, even thinner hairline versions perform.
Thanks Cris, that makes sense considering that these don't have much distal taper to speak of.
Great pick up tewn. Im enjoying my petty from the same line.

Cris is a super cool guy, always willing to help, answer questions, etc....... Have you tried one of his knives....... Amazing cutters with top notch craftsmanship..... Happily call him a friend.
I really like that ZDP, what exactly is it? That handle is awesome
I'm not good at photography, but very excited to get these home and try them out....
