Takamura Chromax 210mm
Heard a lot of good things about Takamura, this going to be my first 210mm although I kept telling myself I don’t need a 210mm for work...Bought this one after seeing esoo and Hz_zzzzzz’s posts. A Semi stainless core steel at 65 HRC, sounds liked a hidden gem at $140, and pretty similar as the Konosuke YS in terms of construction and steel used. Since I have good experience with the YS, felt liked I have to give it a try.
I requested for rounded spine/choil but it wasn’t rounded when I received it, I ended up rounding the spine/choil myself with sand papers.
The knife overall feels much smaller than I expected, since I got used to 240-270mm range, I guess this is what I have to adjust overtime, but I can already tell it’s going to be a fun knife at cutting rolls.
