I literally don't know if I can use it (properly) at that size. It's this one: http://www.bryan-raquin.com/product/chef-knife
340 grams.

It will work perfectly for that other, alien attack in the kitchen discussion going. Looks good and the handle is very nice.

How big is too big? This knife is close. I just received my 320mm Raquin gyuto. 145sc/wrought iron, micarta. It's a monster, and gorgeous.

You’ll get used to it. I’ve got a 320mm from Bryan too, and it’s 60+mm tall. Just requires a different way of thinking about tackling tasks. I use mine to mince garlic quite often!

Nice! Do you live in NM, too? I'm in Cedar Crest. Shehan is making me a wrought iron san Mai gyuto right now (I hope...).

Gengetsu 240mm Semi-Stainless Wa-Gyuto. Many thanks to the forum members that helped me make the selection. Also I want to mention that Jon called me 10 minutes after I made my order to make sure that this was the right knife for me. He gave me info and resources on how to take care of the knife. He really knows his stuff. I would highly recommend purchasing from his site.

 

[Barmoley]

Great choice. Jon is a great guy and knows more about Japanese knives then most of us combined.

 

[JustinP]

Gorgeous.

Are gengetsu made by masashi? The profile is slightly different but theres so many design similarities. I have a knifewear kemuri mini gyuto and yoshihiro masashi santoku that I love. I'm considering the gengetsu or EN as my next purchase.

Koraat Nakiri 175x53mm 1.2562 Damascus San Mai View attachment 49200 View attachment 49199

Cheers,
Becks

Hard to tell from the photo but just want to point this out. Near the top the round wave of Damascus seems to be going all the way down to the edge. Make sure the core is all the way out on both sides of the knife the entire blade. If not you need to fix this or send it back to fix as it’s s mistake.

Lots of new makers or sharpeners make this mistake on clad knives, where they over grind one side bringing out the core too much. So the opposite side the core doesn’t come out.

Toyama 240
Watanabe 180

Both came in Monday and I’m absolutely in love

-Dylan

 

[Bcos17]

Dylan, those are amazing picks, I have the Toyama 210 and think about adding the 240 or a Watanabe 240 almost every day. Congrats!

 

[5698k]

That Toyama is gonna be your favorite knife, forever!

 

[Dylan]

I’ll admit, when I opened the box that it only just barely fits into I was a little weirded out by the shape, and F&F isn’t what I was expecting, but after just a couple uses I am absolutely downright obsessed with it! Definitely the favorite of the small group I have now

 

[5698k]

Tell ya what... if it’s not, let me know, I’ll take it off your hands..

 

[Ryndunk]

Picked this up last week. Watanabe cleaver- Kintaro ame white steel. 220×110 425g. Been wanting to try a full size cleaver without any belly.

If the grind is anything like mine, then you’re in for a treat.

It is nicely done. I used it a bunch at work last week. Perfomed great. Only thing I don't really love is the handle but overall I'm very impressed.
