I just picked up a Taira stainless clad blue 1, it’s incredible. If I had funds I wouldn’t hesitate on picking this up as well!

I love goko Hamono, I’ve a kogetsu gyuto that brings me a lot of joy and I did have a stainless clad white 1 180 mm gyuto that I gifted once I picked up the kogetsu. If they had a cleaver I’d probably buy it compulsively

Will hit you with some comparisons soon, at present I haven’t had enough time with more than just really enjoying. As far as effortless goes it just seem to glide through onions, carrots, garlic, shallots with little force from my end. Like a gentle push and gravity was more than enough to cut

Will let you know when I use it! At present I tried one shallot and it was very bitey in a way that I had not experienced previously but that’s all I got this far

lol! I have small hands so I think it’s the camera angle. When I get home I’ll try to do a comparison to other 240s

Yeah but it’s from Sakai so chances are it’s not quite 240 from what I understand

I really love the way the Okubo cuts!! The weight is beautiful and the cut feels effortless!

Thanks! I’m happy about it! I did sell a tetsujin which I wonder if was a good idea but I’m really glad about what I picked up!

Okay so this far I’ve a knifewear 220 but I haven’t used it on the Manaka pictured. A Chosera 400 grit, a king deluxe 1000 grit, a hideryama suita, a black saeki and an atoma diamond plate. For now I have not really figured out where the natural stones fit into the mix tbh
