Best praise vs top criticism for Yoshihiro NSW Damascus Gyuto 240mm
“Absolutely not. Yoshikane is a great and a reputable maker, I own a Yoshikane gyuto and it’s one of my favorites. You’ll love it About chipping it - don’t cut into hard stuff (like bones or frozen food) and you’ll be good, when chopping greens such as parsley be gentle, it’s sharp enough that you won’t need to apply force I’d recommend you learning how to hand sharpen!”
“If the budget doesn't matter, go definitely for the Yoshimi Kato. The Yoshihiro is not bad, but way overpriced for what it is. This knife here is for example the same blade and it costs way less: https://www.meesterslijpers.nl/en/kazoku-ginsan-nashiji-santoku-1?search=ginsan%20nashiji&page=2”
