Went with the yoshikane gyuto a few weeks ago and fell in love, so I had to get it a little brother!
SKD petty with custom handle
My 210 Denka lost 7g when it was thinned. But it was pretty svelte to begin with at 180g. I imagine your's might shed at least 20g+
It’s not just the looks, it’s also the performance - looking at them always makes me think that i “need” another Denka
Right on. I'm not bothered by the weight after growing up with german knives. But, it most certainly do with less thickness behind the edge.
Most certainly, unfortunately you all can't provide input on the latter from over the internet/via some photos.
Hot diggity dayummm! Is that a 270?
240, as of now lost 7g, a respectable 230gMy 210 Denka lost 7g when it was thinned. But it was pretty svelte to begin with at 180g. I imagine your's might shed at least 20g+
wowzers!
why did you flatten bevels? it comes with a concave grind.I need to post here more often. Got a back log to post but I’ll start here with this bnib makeover. JNS munetoshi 240. Fully polished spine and choil, flattened factory bevels, and new ironwood handle. Handle ended up forming a stress crack, but whatever it’s still an upgrade from stock.

Wow
Was looking at the ginsan, thankfully I went and explored the whole page to find they offered a blue version. I can't resist the carbon steels hahaI'd have gotten one long ago in ginsan if I was still cooking professionally. Great looking knife and tanaka's ginsan stays toothy sharp for a good long while.

Kengata 190mm
Weight: 171g
Handle material: Stabilised birch with wenge
Handle length: 132mm (5.5")
Blade length: 190mm (7.5")
Blade depth: 47mm
Thickness at spine: 2.5mm
Thickness at tip: 0.5mm
Cutting edge: Double 50/50
Blade material: K720/O2 (Acid etched)
Hardness (Rockwell scale): 61-62
This is my first K720/O2 can wait to see what it can do, not super happy with the small scratches on the blade but will thin out anyway as a bit thick for my liking. Bought it from a knife maker in Poland and will let you know how it turns out. what you think?
