Making Szechuan pickled salad, so nice chance to demo the knife too!
This is a 300mm Gyuto, my main workhorse.
That's 11.8 inches !

Finely sliced cucumber; You can see how thin you can slice with these knives, even though it's the biggest knife in the range!

Everything was done with the big Gyuto, including peeling the ginger.
Just wanted to demonstrate the value of a good Japanese knife.
As you can see, it is not shiny and perfect, it shows all the signs of use in high carbon.
They discolor in 60 seconds , but man are they a wonder when put to work...and that is what they are for.

I bought it here, arrived same week.

Good work with a quality knife. Got to love those carbon steel knives! My favorite carbon steel is an older Old Hickory. Bought a whole set of 8 knives with a butcher block from Goodwill for $9 about 2 years ago. They all have a great patina coating on them, and as long as I hand wash and dry them when used, they will and have not rusted. Not as nice as your big Gyuto, but for the money invested, I like them better than my much more expensive stainless steel German made knives.

Good to see someone appreciates quality knives as I do.

Blessings, :pray:

Nice work Buccs.
 
Nice skills, Buccs. And I gotta say, 100bucks for that knife feels like stealing. Crazy cheap!
