Thread: New Gyuto

I'm getting lazier about maintaining my carbon knives so got this 210mm SS gyuto as a workhorse.
T'aint what I'd call a pretty knife but it'll serve it's purpose.
It's Hitachi Ginsan clad in stainless so we'll see how it works over time.
The maker is Okeya. 61 HRC . Walnut handle. Ferrule has a grain but doesn't smell like horn. Maybe a hardwood , ebony ?
Seems an ok edge. Has a slight warp near the tip or maybe the grind is slightly off but I'm not worried at this point in time.
I'll use it before I take it to the stones so I have a point of reference but I can feel it cutting the fibres on my paulownia cutting board with just light pressure.
