Ease the shoulders of the Shinogi and the cracking will go away.Gesshin Heiji Semi-stainless 220 mm.
It's jumping up to be my favorite stainless J-knife ever. The toughness is amazing for such a keen edge, feels like I'm cutting with a razor. Though it does pick up a quick patina.
It does crack carrots and such but it does not wedge as I thought. And its amazing when cutting onions.

Did you order a 220 specifically or is it a 210 (oversized like usually do)?Gesshin Heiji Semi-stainless 220 mm.

I’ll have my time eventually! And happy for you - curious to hear how it performs, would love to read a review.
Ah yes, I remember this one. Thought it must have been a more recent one that I had missed
Got this knife some months ago

The thinnest knife behind the edge I have. You can see it in the choil shot, that's not the edge but the last mm leading up to the edge. Completely nailflexing along the whole edge.
It's quite extreme. Really nice work, great sayas and one of my favourite logos.
Im still kicking myself for letting this one pass me up when I saw it available. As always, love the new knife posts - great pics and detailsThis wonderful knife completely validated my decision to move on a number of nice knives in favour of a few top end knives like this Rader. There is a reason they rarely come up for sale. His knives are that good. Buy one when you can.

When this Rader Gyuto was posted on BST a while back, I grabbed it. You don’t see Rader’s work available very often … for good reason … his knives check every box a knife enthusiast could have. One of my great regrets was passing on a Rader 5 metal Damascus for a good friend. While it was the right thing to do, I’m still hunting for a Rader 5 metal Damascus here, years later. HINT … HINT!
Having said that, this Rader is an absolute gem.

What I absolutely love about Rader’s knives is that they are wonderful performers in the kitchen, and his 52100 steel blades take on the nicest patina in use. Rader’s handles … only Will Newhams comes close!
I did manage to put the knife to work this week … mostly prepping my version of pico de gallo and fajitas. The Rader made the prep a complete joy.

How thick is this guy?Not to jump on the bandwagon but this is the best feel I’ve ever had from holding a knife in my hand. Haven’t had a chance to cut with it yet, but damn.

Handle was removed by prev owner to start a polishing job which never happened. Told him to leave it knocked off as I plan to rehandle. Any suggestions other than jobone and let’s handle are welcome (love their work, just already aware of them).
