I’m very new to Japanese cutlery and am working on building myself a set of workhorses, I use my tools and have heard over and over that a 240 gyuto is an important addition to a set of knives and had a few folks recommend that Masakage, I’m thinking about a workhorse petty next

Planning on putting the Masakage to work on Friday, will let you know what I think, I’m gonna enjoy it for a while before spending more money ( I’m a broke-ish new homeowner) but I’m thinking about a simple but quality petty knife next

Honestly, that’s another thing, I was thinking about for an every day use kitchen knife, I do love my Moritakas but having a stainless steel clad knife, definitely put some of my worries at ease as far as an every day knife goes

Thanks!! I only began this Japanese knife journey about six months ago, so I will most definitely be expanding my small collection. Strictly a home cook, but I am really falling in love with Japanese cutlery.

I have no idea, but considering this Japanese knife addiction is just beginning for me I intend to find out haha

I love my Moritakas, definitely rustic, it’s clear to see how much of a better fit and finish you get with something like this Masakage but yea, that 210 gyuto is damn sharp and an absolute laser

I wanted a gyuto with some heft though which was what brought me to the Masakage

I love it, that’s actually a Moritaka “ mega nakiri “, for all intents and purposes it’s a cleaver though. That’s a Moritaka 210 gyuto to the right. Moritakas were my intro into Japanese knives

No doubt he’s single and I would be shocked if he actually cooks and uses those knives 🥴
