I have a blue 1 Y Tanaka and I assure you it’s an absolute pleasure. I’m very envious of your dimensions though. I’d say those specs are just about perfect for a do it all knife.First knife of 2021 has arrived. And it’s a good one - i think for the price, it’s an should be an amazing performer - based on my experience with the Blue 1
270 mm Gyuto
58 mm heel height
240 gm - so not a laser

Heel height is 53mm. I agree. The profile of this one and the weight just looked rightI'm really liking the less santoku looking Jiros I've seen on here lately - but then the ones I see pop up for sale look nothing like this. what is the heel height on this?
that is exactly what I suspected. someone else posted theirs about a month or so back that had a "shorter" heel height like that and I think that if given the chance I would love to try one of thoseHeel height is 53mm. I agree. The profile of this one and the weight just looked right

I was whining quite a bit on Björns stubbornness to make them sub 90 actually because I need ~95 like that in order to round and polishThere is a reason it is called a "right" angle...

The choil and emoto are smooth and comfy in a pinch.Because it gets you "right" in the side of the finger?
It is the last 240mm on miuraknife when I saw it last week, there’s 2 more on EBay’s miuraknife at the same time. This reminds me of the original Wide bevel Fujiyama, I always wanted to try the wide bevel Fujiyama, but they were all full reactive, when I found out the stainless clad version I didn’t hesitate.A Yoshikazu stainless clad? That's unusual find. I think you bought the last one. If it doesn't work out, let me know.
