@cenc -- do you like that 210 nakiri? I have been curious about it and tempted now that 15% off, but I do not know what I would use it for since I also have a Toyama 270 gyuto. When do you choose the nakiri?
+1The 210 Nakiri is awesome. I never liked a Nakiri until I got this one. I have a 240 gyuto already and a 270 on the way, I am somewhat of a Toyama fan. I find I reach for the Nakiri way more often than I thought I would. It might be the most fun knife to use that I own. You should definately pick one up.
Hmmm...seems like I did not receive the e-mail. Is it 15% off all Toyama knives? How does one get the 15% off - seems like there is no reference to the sale on JNS website?
Cheers,

Most seem to agree - myself included - that Toyamas generally are very well made knives. That said Toyama makes single bevels of particulally high quality. I own 9 Tayamas incl the knives in question. I find the suji to be my absolut favorite suji of all time. Very thin behind the edge and an overall light weight knife. The yanagis feel more substantial. His fugobekis are ofcourse thin and light. Sujis are much more versatile and thus would probably be the more clever first choise. But really I want to say: get them both. They only become more rare and expensive over time. The man i 75+ years old [emoji2]
Hope this was helpfull.

Almost making it harder
I strongly prefer a suji and and a yanagi from two different makers. Since I'm starting out a collection, I like trying different things more than I like committing to one, no matter how great - there's something to be said for discovering personal preference. One thing pulling me to the yanagi is a sense of there being a greater availability of quality sujihikis, or perhaps that's off-base? So, if Toyama is well-renowned for his single-bevels, I might spring on that first, although there is something to be said for versatility - and the sujihiki does look sexy.
How do you like the grind of your 210mm nakiri?
The family welcomes a new arrival.
Love it. Maybe my most fun knife to use as long as you acknowledge its strengths and limitations. It is somehow thin at the edge and strong shouldered at the same time. It can crack hard produce like large carrots, but destroys cabbage and peppers and the like. Im very happy with it.How do you like the grind of your 210mm nakiri?
