This simple 180 mm R2 gyuto from Shigeki Tanaka is the best onion cutter ever! I use it like a petty for more nimble tasks and enjoy having more height than a normal petty. It feels great in hand, like the longer Tanaka gyutos, and the Japanese handle is a welcome change to the heavier, more solid ironwood Western handles. The blade is just right, not too thin, and this is one of the most respected R2 lines.
