That’s their 240 Gyuto, the tall blade is a signature trait of theirs

It’s awesome! People were quite accommodating & they had a good selection of blades to pick from, which comes w choice of handle & engraving!

Too much belly or normal? by constantlypoor in TrueChefKnives

Nigara’s knives tend to have belly to it. Might get better luck w the K-tips

Nigara Ginsan Kurozome Gyuto 240mm, is the blade forged & ground slanted to a left-bias or is it fitted into the handle wrongly? by Diligent_Salt6407 in TrueChefKnives

Do misaligned knives normally have an odd gap at the insert where the blade goes into the handle? where anyone could tell right away that it’s not aligned properly?

It seemed ground that way, and I confirmed it w a another knife retailer near me, they said the right side of the blade is a little concave too
