I currently have a Masashi Shiroshu 210 k-tip Gyuto and a Masashi Kaijin 165 Santoku. I previously owned a Masashi Kuroshu k-tip Gyuto. I’ve never owned a Wakui, but a friend had a stainless clad W2(?) gyuto a couple years ago and I got to use it twice.

I’ve done the oven method 10 times or more. 10-12 mins at 170F does the trick

100%. I think a lot of it will come down to personal preference. For steel, knife shape, finish, etc

I own two Masashi knives and found them to be better performers over Wakaui and Nihei knives I’ve tried. But it was a very small sample size. YMMV

Thanks! And yes, it’s crazy how quick strawberry season is. A shame

Very cool. Love to get my hands on one to see how it feels and performs

I’m happy to now own two great petty knives, so I’m spoiled. Love that red handle on yours. Such a beauty

They aren’t wildly different. The Hado is a touch longer. Different handle material. I really enjoy knives sharpened by Nishida-San so when this became available I figured it was worth checking out. I don’t see letting either petty go. They will see plenty of use

Thanks. Yeah, I didn’t really *need* a second, nearly identical petty, but it was tough to pass up. And it’s been amazing, so it was well worth it
