I've been at this "hobby" for about 2.5 years now, I have tried quite a few knives, selling many of them to try more, discovering what I like. After going around the block I am returning to some of the knives that I originally bought, the Gengetsu is one of them. I originally thought it was too flat and that the 240 was too big, now I have a 210 and 240 semistainless and like them, alot. I remember thinking that when I sold the 210 I would be buying one again.
