Some great advice here. My first knife purchase from Knifewear was a 210mm Tadafusa Hocho Kobo Gyuto and I have no regrets. I still use my Nakiri and Kuritsuke for many things, but I use my Gyuto most often. Some day I'll move to more expensive Gyuto, but the Tadafusa works great after a wet stone sharpening coupled with the odd honing.

Should be said, some Gyutos are 210mm+- edge length, while others are 210mm+- from handle to tip, makes for vastly different feeling knives, both are marked as 210mm but some are ~230mm from the handle, while those that are 210 from the handle are a little shorter on the edge (which are the ones I prefer) And then there's height that can range all the way from ~42mm up to ~51mm at the heel on a 210mm

To be candid I just came here to watch that beautiful knife being used but was also reminded of a few habits that I need to work on that I developed using cheap knives that do not hold an edge. Also I am thinking about jumping from an 180mm santoku to a 240mm gyuto. In your opinion Knifewear what are some reasonably priced hand forged lasers in or around the 240mm mark?

@@KnifewearKnives I am a carbon steel kind of guy so from what I am seeing out of the options you gave I really prefer the Masakage Koishi gyuto but it is sold out not that it matters right now. Honestly I keep seeing posts about Fugiwara in the groups that I am in and really find myself drawn to his knives more specifically the Denka which is way too much for this poor boy and the 240mm Maboroshi which is also sold out but that gives me time to save up and make a decision. Like y'all have said in other videos Japanese knives are highly collectible as well as being wonderful tools. What are your thoughts? Is the Fugiwara Maboroshi worth the price and how do they compare? My plan is take care of a few things around my house which will take a few months then start saving for the knife so I have plenty of time for the delayed gratification.

I know this is off topic, but DON'T throw away parsley stems! Because that's where the vast majority of the taste and aroma is. In fact if you have to throw away something (although I don't know why you'd want to), it's better to throw away the leaves and keep the stems. (I always keep both).

Couldn't help but wince a couple of times when the vegetable got away from you (carrot, mushroom and cabbage) thought we were going to rejoin the action with you wearing a blue plaster!!!!!

@KnifewearKnives
@KnifewearKnives 2 жыл бұрын
As far as Japanese knives go, it's a little over medium weight. It's got some heft and a good forward balance due to a slightly thicker spine. Despite its thickness, it tapers down to a really nice thin edge. Glides through food beautiful, doesn't wedge. The tip is even thinner for precise work. If you like a little weight but a laser when it cuts, it's a great choice!

Nice video, thanks! I lean away from using a honing steel or rod, as they can concentrate too much pressure against the harder, more brittle Japanese steel. As a home cook, I prefer a leather strop, which may not be reasonable in the middle of service in a commercial kitchen?

Nothing wrong with the strop, it does a great job! We avoid steel rods, but use ceramic gently and slowly, similar to a strop.

I feel like there's so much conflicting information on cutting with gyutos and I'm so confused. I've been told that with Japanese knives it's bad to use a honing rod and you shouldn't rock/mince with them but should use thrust cutting instead. Is this not true?
@KnifewearKnives
@KnifewearKnives 2 жыл бұрын
Great question! Honing rods are great, just make sure they're fine ceramic, and not rough steel or diamond. You can totally rock and mince, just be sure to do so gently. For cutting most things, sliding cuts do allow the edge to work better than a rocking cut .

I have western knifes here that are over 60 hrc .... there are also japanese knives that have low hardness. It's always a compromise. Good powdered and other high alloy steels are expensive. Simple steels like shirogami or 52100 need proper heat treatment. In the end most people never had a good knife. They want it cheap, stainless and ready to take abuse. Softer steels are just much better for these criteria.

Hope someone ate all the food that was cut for demonstration. Would hate it to go to waste. Also, by my experience, for big and tense pieces of food like a cabbage or water melon, having a thicker blade is more important than a longer one. When cutting such pieces, you use the knife more like a wedge and this puts stress on the delicate cutting edge on a thin hard-steel Japanese-style blade. Work like this is where a thick, softer-steel German-style knife shines.
