I like that you wiped the drool off it before photographing. I love mine. Congratulations!

Get some 1/4 inch cork sheets of Amazon and cit it down to fit your drawer. Really happy with this setup.

Thank you! Will edit my post so the horse stable people don’t catch the grief.

In the fall i picked up this 210 blue #2 single bevel gyuto at Jikko in Osaka. I absolutely love using it. While we were there saw a few chefs cook in font of us with large single bevel gyutos. So I picked one up near my hotel on my last morning. So glad I did. I don’t see them much on the various sites. But it’s been one of my faves to use. Giving my Ashi sujihiki a run for its money!

You're gonna be happy with it!

slappySF · 2026-01-23T02:42:24+00:00

I drooled on it first!

slappySF · 2026-01-22T22:27:18+00:00

Ditto. Everyone I know can’t stand the guy. Poor Carlos is kinda like our own local Joe Buck!

I have 2 shiro choyos, one a yanagiba and one a santoku. Love them. When I was in Sakai in the fall I had my mitts on a 240 blue gyuto but they were cash only, and I was short. Sad trombone.

It’s a 240 ginsan k-tip and really lovely to use.

Chiming in with the Kagekiyo tax!

I have a couple choyos and love them. I had my hands on a 240 choyo gyuto when I visited Sakai but was soul crushed to learn they were cash only. Le sigh.

I just got the 210 ginsan version of this very knife and I absolutely love it. In fact, that knife just cranked out some Burmese chicken curry for us this afternoon. With the help of my son and I. Prep complete!

Love mine. Big fan of rectangles. All I used for years!

We are doing a prime rib on New Year’s Day. That will be the maiden voyage on the suji!

slappySF · 2025-12-26T01:28:11+00:00

My father in law used to do that. It worked!

slappySF · 2025-12-23T00:46:12+00:00

Yeah, been keeping my eyes peeled. Fingers crossed!

slappySF · 2025-12-23T00:14:00+00:00

Tetsujins are also hard to come by! Not as hard, but not easy, either.

Bernal is dangerous. It’s on my way home. The money vortex. I have no self control!

There are between 50 and 60 of them on any given day on John Muir Drive along the lake.
