If I'm trying be very precise and cut paper thin I use a 162 Kippington. It is 37mm at the heel so more of a mini gyuto shape, intended for board work. My 186 HSC/// or perhaps my Shibata Kashima get the next most use.
I really wish I got the bunk-toku instead of the nakiri but I was in my nakiri phase... Followed shortly after by a cleaver phase and then a gyuto phase. Now I'm in my "maybe I should re-home some these knives so they can live a happy life" phaseMazaki bunka 180 or Toyama nakiri. Depends on if I feel the need to do any tip work or not
The good ole hollandaise maker.
Been thinking about that guy for a minute, prefer the KU finish and burnt chestnut but a Yoshikane SLD 150 can be had for a little less money and it's probably a little thinner...I know, I know, just get both.https://www.toshoknifearts.com/coll...chi-nashiji-petty-150mm-burnt-chestnut-handle
or this. I have this guy and shallots and garlic are decimated.

This was brought up in another thread I am too lazy to look for at the moment. But tosho had some skd and sld that looked similar. Mine was sold as skd and was lead to believe it was yoshi. That is an under-educated opinion nobody @ me for the love of god. Whatever it is it gets and stays sharp and the geometry, even for a 150 petty, is on point. I jumped on the 150mm went it first went on the site but a little fire burns inside me because they (tosho) later introduced the 180mm version. And all the cool kids know 180 is better than 150.Looks lovely. I‘ve been eyeing up the similar Sumiro petty, but still on the fence.
Strangely Cuttting Edge had a similarly finished series of Konos a year or so back (here), albeit they were advertised as SLD. I kind of assumed that they were an early version of the Nihei-sourced Sumiros, but I’m beginning to wonder if they were actually SKDs from Yoshi(Proper) now
I really don’t need a specific shallot slayer - I have too many undersized Sakai lasers that are good enough, plus a fine selection of petties - but I’m putting this Kono top of this exciting new category for the moment

I was wondering why the fuxk you had a 150. I legit stared at my screen for a moment, wondering if I misread something.And all the cool kids know 180 is better than 150.
I have thought about putting it on bst and then putting those funds towards the 180. I guess I’m too lazy .I was wondering why the fuxk you had a 150. I legit stared at my screen for a moment, wondering if I misread something.
Making my breakfast this morning involved an avocado, garlic, lemon, and a shallot. While I very much like the Tadafusa 180mm gyuto I using for the task, I realized that while it handled the shallot and garlic alright, it didn't just zip through it.
So, what's your shallot (and similar stuff) slayer?
My current favorite petty. The only carbon knife I don't feel like I have to baby. I abuse my knives for sure and this is the only one that handles the abuse and keeps on going.Mizuno 150mm petty. Blue 2 steel.
