Managed to get a 210 vg10 to replace my old beat 210 from many moons ago! (Very nostalgic) but also to pair with the 240 I recently picked up

Have been using the 240 daily at work for the last 2 weeks and it’s bliss to use but I generally prefer a 210 to keep on the board all day.

Recently decided I mostly want to focus on collecting Stainless/semi stainless purely because I use almost all my knives at work (on rotation) and as much as I want to baby my knives, sometimes shit happens and it’s just one less thing I would rather not have to worry about 🤷🏾‍♂️

Blacksmith-Shiraki Hamono (most likely Nakagawa)

Sharpener-Nishida (99 percent sure based off feedback from the 240)

Last week I made a post about my old vg10 kagekiyo beater that has seen some better days, well….

I managed to pick up a 240 old stock (not same batch as my last ) super excited as this was truly the best vg10 I ever had.

At a guess, from what I’ve read from other more knowledgeable people on here this would be

Smith-Nakagawa

Sharpened by Nishida but please correct me if wrong

So happy to get this not just for performance but for nostalgic reasons 😍

Will have to use it for dinner tonight but just based off of holding it in hand, rather light with the center gravity being very forward on the blade, heel height feels to be around 45-47mm but will need to check specs when I have time
