Tsubaya Takada vs Hitohira Yohei vs Takada

[blokey]

Tsubaya did some restock of Takada with quite nice prices, does anyone have experience them and other Takada blades? How do they compare in grind and profile? They seems closer to Yohei than other Takadas.

I have the 210 and 240 B2. Unfortunately, I don’t have other Takada pieces. However, compared to my 210 myojin tetsujin they are thinner and more laserish/fragile feeling. I find deburring them more tedious than myojin and the tanaka blue 1 (yugiri) that I do own, but once done correctly, they are a pleasure. The 210 tsubaya is definitely on the short side, I may relegate it to petty tasks. The 240 is perfect in my hands, medium. I am new to this hobby, less than a year, sorry that I can’t provide any other insight.

I recently got a gyuto from tsubaya, definitely everything you'd expect from Takada in terms profile, the spine and choil are most refined just like the nakiri I've had for a while that I got from MTC. The grind is solid. I wish I was patient enough to just wait for the 240 with extra height, the 210 I got is pretty short it is a little wedgy because of the way it tapers quickly from spine to edge.

Old post, but did you get a Suiboku or a Kasumi? Are the grinds the same on both finishes?

Suiboku, I'm not sure if the grind are the same.
