Hey guys,
wanted to know your favourite semi and stainless knives and what you like about them.
My favourite one is my Yoshikane SLD Damascus 240 Gyuto. It's such a beautie, feels great in hand and cuts really well. It's a bit overseized with 247mm and has a height of 52mm which is rather low for my preferences but it doesn't bother me, it just fits. Usually with 240 I want 52+.
Special mentions are my Gengetsu SS which I really like but haven't had for too long yet and my Yu Kurosaki Raijin Nakiri. The Nakiri feels really delicate, a bit brittle, but never had a problem with chipping and cuts really nicely, just wish it was 180mm. Also quite like SG2 which is really robust and feels better than e.g. VG10.
Cheers,
Julian
