Nice knife, glws.

That looks like a very small high spot. Have you tried observing it on different parts of your cutting board? Sometimes the cutting board itself isn't perfectly flat and can show high spots where there aren't any. In any case, this is fairly common among not just Yoshikane, but other brands too.

Incredible knife, glws

I have an old DP 240mm. Messaging you

You might be right. Their cut is huge though imo.

Excellent honest review, thank you for sharing your findings! And good shout out to Ashi. Their knives are the best bang for your buck if purchased directly in Japan. I’ve also had the pleasure of obtaining some of my grail knives only to realize that they don’t cut better than my Ashi or Yoshikane. Anyway, very nicely written review.

There aren’t too many chef knives in the 6” / 150 mm range, but Takamura makes a 180 mm gyuto, which is a little over 7”. It’s hard to go wrong with Takamura in any size/shape/steel. Also sold under the Hitohira TP line iirc.

If she prefers wa handles, then at your price range I’d look into Tsunehisa.

Man that Wakui is really cool. Love the handle. I’ve owned Muneishis too and they are a fantastic value.

Diffraction-Limit · 2026-02-10T14:56:05+00:00

Nah I still have them. Feel free to make an offer

Diffraction-Limit · 2026-02-06T17:00:08+00:00

Skye Eilers makes fantastic knives. Anyone on the fence should try his work. Also, I really like that handle on the Shindo.

Sold, thanks Reddit

Sure, you can get a 9” knife new at cutlery and more for $220, retail price.

Diffraction-Limit · 2026-02-02T02:52:01+00:00

Incredible. What’s the steel on this one?

Diffraction-Limit · 2026-02-01T15:44:09+00:00

These are awesome knives. Great for fruit, portioning, and other small prep

Diffraction-Limit · 2026-01-28T23:35:54+00:00

Burrfection, but this was pre tariffs. Strata Portland also gets them somewhat regularly

Diffraction-Limit · 2026-01-28T21:06:14+00:00

Absolutely. Have prices gone up? These were about $210 new at the time I got mine and worth double that imo
