If you’re in a professional kitchen that’s tight on space and you have to do a high volume of cutting (prep, etc),it’s gonna be hard to find a better knife for the money

I am not in a professional kitchen and my budget is around here. I have a 240 and I want to try a new steel / style / maker.
It’s really hard to screw up when you get a Toyama or a Watanabe

I have a Wat Pro 180 gyuto and it is a great knife. I personally think it is more of a santoku than gyuto but either way, a very well executed knife.
My 180 wat pro was one of my favorite knives. @deltaplex has it for safe keeping these days

I have the migaki ss-clad version. It has a decently thin grind with some convexity behind the edge, but further up the blade is on the thin side. Typical sanjo style spine taper and santoku-ish heel height.
In this size range, I use stainless more often. The most used 180 for me currently is myojin sg2. It's thinner immediately behind the edge, but has less drastic taper and more overall meat in the "body" of the blade.

JUUUUUUMP!
The snow has melted, it's close to waking up with some new shoes and improved feel in hand, just have to get through a little bit more of the "Have To Do" list.

What do you think you are doing?
You need a 270mm Wat, not a 180!
FTFY
What’s your current 240?

I feel like I NEED to say yes I bought into the Nenox thing twenty years ago. It was twenty years ago, give me a break. It actually isn't a bad knife and I have owned it since 2006.
