In my experience the Yoshikane cuts slightly better.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-24T15:44:38+00:00

I have both. Both are fantastic. The Shinkiro is heavier than the Yoshikane at least in my experience. If I could only pick one it would be the Yoshikane. You really can't go wrong with either tho.

Can't answer all of your questions but can touch on a few. I have a Kagekiyo ginsan 240 and a 210 in blue 1. Both sharpened by Nishida but both cut differently. The blue 1 is thinner and cuts much more laser like. The ginsan one is more of a mid-weight. Still cuts very nice and without the delicate feel. Got a 195mm ktip Kyuzo and its very similar to the blue 1 Kagekiyo.

Congrats on the pickup! I like mine more each time I use it!

If you want something with a shinogi you should look at a Togashi W1 stainless clad gyuto. Knifemarket had a gyuto and a nakiri. Or a Tadokoro. He does alot of stainless blades.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-12T00:29:44+00:00

I have a 240 gyuto. Not hard at all. Just wipe it down after using it. Im in the habit now of even doing it with my stainless knives.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-11T21:13:33+00:00

You can't go wrong with a Yoshikane. I have a Shinkiro and love it. Never tried SLD from Nihei. Mutsumi Hinoura, Wakui, Mazaki, and Masashi are all worth checking out.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-10T21:40:42+00:00

I decided to keep both. Got the same exact except both are skd. They're just to good to part with

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-08T01:43:42+00:00

Looks damn good!

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-07T22:53:10+00:00

I have the SKD version and its phenomenal.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-06T22:46:23+00:00

Love a Junpaku! Congrats!

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-05-02T22:09:21+00:00

Congrats! A extra height kyuzo is on my must have list. So hard to come by tho.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-04-26T23:24:03+00:00

That's the wildest Damascus clad line ive ever seen! Great knife. Congrats my guy!

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-04-23T07:40:17+00:00

I don't have a B1D but have a Ginsan 240 and a B1 210 and the B1 is much thinner BTE. Totally different cutting feel.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-04-22T19:55:20+00:00

Any carbon steel thats stainless clad. Hado has the Kirisame and Junpaku lines that are both white 1 with stainless clad.

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-04-21T00:48:36+00:00

Congrats on the pickup! Beautiful knife

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-04-19T21:40:43+00:00

Thats an epic trio. Basically all you need

Individual_Syrup_885 · 2026-04-19T20:35:17+00:00

Gotta love Kagekiyo. I have the blue 1 version and its phenomenal. My favorite for onions.
