SOLD - Anryu AS 240mm Gyuto

Post by Tostadas »

Anryu 242x51mm Gyuto
Aogami Blue Super, Stainless Clad
Ebony/Horn octo handle

This particular one is like new, only been used once to prep a dinner and been sitting in storage since. Up for sale because I'm not using my gyutos very often and reaching for cleavers instead. Behind the edge is very thin. Grind is an even 50/50 fully convex both sides up to the shinogi, and as you go up the blade, it tends to be on the thinner side of medium (choil shot is a bit deceiving because of the hammered finish). I didn't experience any wedging in dense produce. It has a slight forward balance of about 20mm from choil/heel. Overall it feels very similar to Wakui, with a little less flat spot near the heel. The blade has a really high polish on it, almost mirror-like, which is difficult to fully capture in photos.

The octo ebony handle feels comfortable, and the wood itself has some nice figure in it. The handle install is one of the cleanest I've seen with very minimal gap between the tang and handle slot.
