The Japanese domestic version of the often recommended Tojiro DP3 VG-10 210mm gyuto.
It's very close to the historical low of $85.25 at CamelCamelCamel. Still much cheaper than the international version. Please beware the stock level fluctuates at times.
CamelCamelCamel.
The 180mm version of the tojiro is like 65 bucks too…..not sure if 180mm is too small for a gyuto though
BIg petty, small gyuto, depends
Ill just stick with my santokus i think lol.
Gyuto just seems too big for my hands
This one has more than a touch of Santoku is the nose shape, if that helps :-)
That's a good price. 180mm should be good for smaller chopping board and hands.
Different profile for different purposes. The tip of the gyuto allows delicate work and its belly makes rock chopping easier.
Good stuff. Buying a proper Japanese knife is one thing, learning how to properly sharpen them is another!
Any suggestions, thanks
Sharpening stone? I’m using King 1000 mainly. Good idea to get the guide to help find ideal angle too
Buy a chefs choice asian electric sharpener. Its flawless and will always be sharper than new
Wow, this thing costs more than the block of Global Knife i was planning to sharpen.
Very true. I knew absolutely nothing about knives and stones a few months ago. Learnt heaps from r/chefknives and Burrfection.
I remember when there were global knives on Ozbargain once a week. The times they are a changin'.
F-xxx series is released to Japanese domestic market. FU-xxx is for the international market as far as I am aware
That's not a knife….. This is a knife!
