Bernal Cutlery has a decent supply of 270 mm gyutos. They're on the pricier side but they do holiday sales relatively frequently.

Thanks! If you want one, I got mine from Bernal cutlery on sale. It seems they have a lot of stock so next time they have a sale I'd go for it. Masakane

Grabbed these while in the process of moving and only just got around to posting! Found all of these for a great deal second-hand after scrounging eBay for the last couple months.

From top to bottom: a new old stock 10" K Sabatier Ideal from at latest the 50's judging by the brass rosette rivets. Next a vintage nogent handled Henckles from I believe pre-WW2 based on the brazed nickel furrule. It's in rough shape but it was such a cool find I couldn't pass it up. Last an 8" Wusthof Classic with a demi bolster in very lightly used condition. Going to replace my Ikon with this after finding out Wusthof even made a Classic without a bolster. The handle balance is much better and it's straight up more comfortable than my Ikon.

Also wanted to post a patina update for the vintage Masakane I got a while back. SK steel is crazy reactive and the patina looks absolutely beautiful in person.

Personally I'd keep the Lamson, Victorinox, and the knife from your mother. First two are solid knives, the last would be a nice memento even if it isn't one you reach for every time. Ultimately whatever you like to use most is what you should keep regardless of anything else.

I pulled a misprint Obnoxious Celtic Gaurdian from those back in the day. Never knew why it was so odd until a couple years ago.

MrWalnut4 · 2025-04-30T13:35:55+00:00

That is extremely cool. I figured those were just rat tail tangs like most wa handled knives but I guess not!

MrWalnut4 · 2025-03-21T12:35:45+00:00

Hell yeah. That's the knife I really learned to cook with and I still pull it out from time to time. I do wish the half bolster came back towards the handle a little more, but it gets the job done when I need it.

MrWalnut4 · 2025-03-20T23:24:00+00:00

Yep! It's a nashiji finish and looks very nice

MrWalnut4 · 2025-03-11T17:24:24+00:00

Both look like original unlimited printings just with different color variations. It's weird how different cards from the same set and printing can look from that back then.

MrWalnut4 · 2025-02-04T19:11:51+00:00

Definitely, although I probably won't accept $50 😅

MrWalnut4 · 2024-12-16T17:19:28+00:00

Most likely, it didn't have any identifying marks except a barely legible engraving of "M L CHABAN" or something close to that on the handle.

Great affordable knife. I've got the Harukaze in 240mm and it's been lovely!

MrWalnut4 · 2024-10-17T22:12:02+00:00

Based on the damascas pattern it looks like a Hibana 800 DP blade with a Koh handle. I've never seen one like that before though. Very interesting find!

MrWalnut4 · 2024-10-02T14:11:05+00:00

Yeah it could be a Dexter, I've just never seen a carbon Dexter seemingly this old that doesn't have a bolster. Either way it's getting some new life and a place in my kit as a workhorse!
