Which of these 5 Japanese knife finishes do you like the most? From left to right: -Kurouchi: AKA bladesmiths finish; helps prevent rust -Nashiji: meant to emulate the skin of an asian pear; great for those looking for a work-horse knife, as scratches and imperfections from use are more easily camouflaged... -X-Hammer: hand-hammered X pattern; allows food to release from the blade with ease -Migaki: AKA polished; requires more maintenance, but great for slicing due to lesser friction on the blade -Damascus: oftentimes, they are cladded and forged to a core steel for the ultimate sleek look Give us a follow Sharp Knife Shop Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sharp-knife-shop #StaySharp #SharpKnifeShop #KnifeFinish

Do you like the Kiritsuke? They are said to be the master chefs knife in a restaurant- its as much a status symbol as it is versatile.

What Gyuto length do you prefer? 240 mm, 210 mm, or 180 mm? Each length has its own use, but we would argue the longer the knife the more versatile it becomes. However, it's also true that the longer the knife, the more difficult it can be to work with. The most common size is 210 mm, and seems to be the perfect balance between versatility and ease of use for most cooks.
