Pretty thick spine for even slicing (which your video demonstrates). Horses for courses...
I prefer a Wusthof 6" utility knife. Correct blade thickness for a slicer. Mine is the original Grand Prix with a molded handle that fits my hand much better. For the kind of kitchen work I do (minimal prep), I use it more than my chef's or paring knives (also Grand Prix).
If that is your benchmark, when you get something with a thin blade, really good hard steel and properly thin edge, you will be blown away. I know I was.
Yikes! Think about how much you use a knife. For me, since I do all the cooking, I have a kitchen knife in my hands way more than any folder. If you are serious about cooking then you need to think about a 210mm to 240mm Gyuto. Take a look at Yoshikane SDKs or Konosuke HD2 if you want a western style handle.
Thats timos-
for the maker. We are both Tim Johnsons, but in neighboring states! Lol. I would love to take credit for that beauty, but it's not one of mine!
This is my 9.5-in MagnaCut S Grind gyuto with some carbon fiber handles.
