"The outer layers of SUS405 steel make it easier to get a keen edge when sharpening." This is the second layered construction kitchen knife to claim that the softer outer layers have anything to do with making sharpening easier. What the hell are they on about? I just don't get it.... Maybe easier for thinning, at some point way down the line, but it has absolutely fuck all to do with getting a keen edge 🤨 If your cladding is touching your actual edge, you have serious issues to deal with

KavikMany consider thinning an intergal part of sharpening and also when thinned out behind the edge the knife will seem sharper in many use scenarios though true, not absolutely a "sharper" edge.

turing237Lol 4 years later, on a part of the site that's been dead for...how long now? I just happened to log back in, to see if anything has changed back to the old offerings or not

This looks like a very good knife. I wish that it had a Wa handle. It's not that I don't have too many of these, but I don't have one in SRS15. I do have a Konosuke HD. I poked around on the Internet and found one site that listed the blade width as 2.2. That's laser territory. I am not sure that I would consider purchasing this if I did not own some good DMT stones (diamond). HRc 64 is pretty damn hard. Of course, the expected edge holding properties would prevent the need to sharpen very often as long as one uses a good cutting board. If you don't have a good gyuto and don't want to venture into the Japanese style, this would be a great place to take the plunge.

These look like excellent knives. Too bad you are only offering the gyuto in a couple of sizes on this drop. Any chance next time this drop comes around Massdrop will offer the full Ryuga line; to include yanagi, petty, and paring knives?
