YOSHIHIRO- NSW Hammered Damascus Japanese Chef Knife Gyuto Knife 7″ 180mm Shitan Handle MADE IN JAPAN



Japanese Gyuto 7″ chefs knife

The YOSHIHIRO-NSW Hammered Damascus Japanese Chef Gyuto 7" chefs knife came a few days ago and it’s absolutely beautiful to look at. It’s light, well balanced, and very,very sharp. I also have some Shun, Global, and German knifes, but this is the one I will use for most of my work. The knife was obviously crafted by true artist of the ancient Japanese art of Samurai swords making, and I love it. Thanks

Incredible!!!!

This knife quickly became our favorite, plus, it is beautiful! We use it EVERY day and couldn’t ask for better!

Very nice addition to my cutlery

Never really had a (short) 180mm chef’s knife(bar my four German and domestic knives, but they don’t count) before, but I really have come to appreciate it’s size, light weight, balance and acuity. For a rather inexpensive knife, I was impressed with the grind and finish on this gyuto.

Likewise, for a VG type steel, it is surprisingly easy and fast to maintain the edge at utmost sharpness, provided one does not try to ruin it by using a steel(would probably roll the edge easily) on it, but rather a few light passes on a good stone. The edge I achieve in a couple of minutes, holds excellently for an entire day of intensive prep and still sharp enough to push cut paper. I could not ask for anything more, from a knife that only costs half as much as my favorite petty. The handle, being nice to hold and finished rather handsomely, rounds out this piece, that I’ve come to reach for, with a smile on my face.

It’s definitely not the best knife I own, by any stretch, but it garnered…

Masanobu sujijiki 10.5 Great knife. You get what you pay for with this one. Retains edge for long time. Easy to sharpen. Use only waterstone for best results. My buddy has the same knife and he used an oil stone and gave his steel a nice shine. Excuse my sarcasm. Anyway, if you have the money to spend, I would spend it on this one.

TBCL Utility Knife 17 Centimeters

Image
took a chance on these knives I think $100 knives are hype so I took a chance on these more moderately priced knives and I believe it was worth it. They are the most expensive knives I have and now I have two of the utility knives (did give one away though), one of the boning knife, and one of the 15cm kitchen knife. You have to be careful with these knives because once they start cutting they will slide through, so you have to have good control and positioning or will cut yourself. The bad is that the one 17cm utility knife I’m using came with a not so perfect blade though it’s still very sharp. It has like three tiny knicks that are hard to see. The blades are thinner then normal blades but I was hoping the material be harder then this. Another problem is that even after washing/drying the utility knife after every use there is a tiny spot on the blade with a small discoloration in the metal. I wonder if it was used for something it shouldn’t have been used for or maybe the crafting
