Product description
I have this Shigeki Tanaka R2 240 Gyuto for Sale. This is the Harukaze damascus gyuto with the walnut handle. The knife is as new, I took it out and used it to prep dinner at home, decided it was just a bit too much gyuto for me and put it back in its box! This knife is a beast of a cutter, these are well known here for their excellent performance, and this one is no exception. It came out of the box absolutely razor sharp! The damascus is stunning, and you can feel it, but it does not negatively affect cutting performance at all. Food release is very good, and cutting feel is effortlessly smooth. Fit and finish is also very good on this knife for a Tanaka, they definitely vary and this is the nicest out the three I have purchased. The spine and choil are nice and clean with no rough edges like some of these have.
