Does anyone else agree that yo/western handled gyutos just look better?

If by "better" you mean "far far worse," then yeah, sure.

Does anyone else agree that yo/western handled gyutos just look better? Similarly, nakiris and more traditional japanese shapes don't look right unless they have a wa handle.

Saw that yo handled Jiro nakiri posted on the knife findings and it just doesn't look right to me. As soon as it's on a gyuto though

Bless your heart.

I don't know about the look, but I certainly consider it pretty silly how some Japanese makers (and even some non-Japanese users) somehow seem to forget that a chef's knife is a western knife.

I think western handles often look better yes. But I like all handles except the ugly ones.

People who buy a Toyama and believe it was hand forged by an 80yo man probably also believe in santa claus. Other famous makers too

Yeah the man with the long penis divides Denmark. It comes in handy that long penis.

That's what she said.

Yeah the man with the long penis divides Denmark.

I know it's not a big country, but it's still quite wide at its narrowest point...

All the craziest stuff comes from central northern Europe, in my experience.

Edit: hmm, past couple days may contradict this.

I wonder whether he's multi-national enough to get moved to Iceland after he ... becomes obsolete. I don't think there's a penis museum in any other country besides Iceland. (See @ian 's first point, above.)

 

[DavidPF]

One time, they transferred the penis museum's collection to a different building. Definitely a dick move, if you ask me.
