Available Hiromoto HC"s

[yeti]

I found some still remaining Hiromoto HC's still in stock at Hida Tool. It seems a lot of people were sorry to see these carbon steel gyutos disappear, so I wanted to let you know they, Hida Tool, still have some up on their site, and in stock.

Yeah, these are really really good knives. Hard to pass one up at $55 for a 240mm gyuto. Hidatools site is kind of hard to get around. If you find the cuterly page and select the Chef's knives, they call it "Hiromoto Brand All Steel Meat Chef Knife". I've had mine for years and it's still a fun knife to use. It's on the right in the pic.

BTW, I think nHidatool is the only place that still has engraved kanji rather than printed left in stock. Better hurry.

Octaveman,

You've had that knife for years and the sticker is still on it?????????

The Hiromoto HCs are gone for the most part. Place an order last night for a 210 and a petty. Called them this morning to complete the order and was told both were out of stock. Not to be restocked. They had a 300mm, way to big and a 180mm which would be small for me. NS-10 stainless still very much available.

That is why I kept it under my hat until the 270 was in my hot lil paws. Knew there just couldn't be many left. I hope the last were bought up by a few forums members.
