Today I received my newest add on to my collection. A Raquin 240 mm Gyuto. Can anyone tell me why it looks like it has a left s-grind almost like its ment for a left-handed user?

In my dealings with them, the choil shot doesn't tell the whole story.


edit: just like Bico said lol

Yeah I thought it was something like that. I can't feel in use so its more of a clarification on why, I've seen some perfectly symmetric grinds too. Im happy either way its just fun to know if its ment to be like that or its simply because of the beauty of handcrafted knives

You can check it further up the blade with a straightedge like a credit card. Like others have said, probably just stray hammer marks at the heel masking the geometry further up.

Right place at the right time I guess. Many thanks to a fellow forum member for giving me the opportunity to purchase this. Pictures do not do it justice

Just picked up a Mazaki 210mm gyuto. Got a nice patina starting after its maiden voyage cutting up a pork loin roast.

Woops, somehow this showed up at my house. So much for budgets and all that.

Bummer when that happens isn't it...?

 

[jedy617]

That's the nicest Mazaki I've seen!

Nice mazaki

 

[Tethien]

It is actually pretty nice but I don’t see miyazaki discussed anywhere, shame really he does some pretty good work if this is any example of what he is capable of

 

[blokey]

That wide bevel is wicked.

Haven’t had a nakiri for a while and thought it was time to get back into the saddle. Got this from JNS today. Came with the smell of 100 smoked cigs as an added bonus.
