Re: High end Gyuto or Kuritsuke

Re: How to improve the edge on my well used Kohetsu
You can see how close the cladding has gotten to the edge of the knife. Thinning the knife behind the edge will move the cladding line back and expose more core steel and bring that knife back to excellent performance.

Re: How to improve the edge on my well used Kohetsu
Just needs a good thinning to bring it back to life. Many more years left in that knife. I usually do a little thinning with each sharpening, only takes a couple minutes. That keeps the knife near peak performance and prolongs the need for a major thinning later if ever.

Re: Does a no ferrule handle have more likelihood of splitting?
This thread caught my attention. I am about to install my own handle for the first time. A guy at a shop told me not to because he said it is very easy to crack the handle (which I do not believe). That said, it sounds like it happens. When you guys write that cracks result from "not drilling ...

Re: Baking Much?
I took a shot at making Easter bread (paska version). Was too chicken to fool around with the decorations since I didnt know if it would turn out how I liked it (from eons ago memories of my Gma's version). Most of the recipes were kinda vague about measurements but I took the plunge and make a dou...

Re: Handle Install Advice
I shave hot glue and fill the tang hole, doesn't have to be packed in. Heat the tang with your prefered method, torch or heat gun works well. Push the handle on, check for straightness and let cool. The excess glue that pushes back out of the tang hole trims at the handle easy with an xacto knife or...

Re: How to identify unknown Yanagiba?
That is a nice looking knife. It does have the "Silver 3" kanji identifying it as Ginsan steel which is a positive. It is possible that there is some identifying makers kanji on the tang. The box is a universal that is used by many manufacturers and makers but it does have a Sakai City sti...

Re: Which suji would you pick and why
If you're not in a hurry to buy I would consider waiting awhile and check back now and then. I think you may see some nice knives restock over the summer.

Re: How to identify unknown Yanagiba?
Your pictures aren't showing up. If there is no kanji or other marks on the blade I can confidently guarantee you that it is not a knife by "Yoshikazu Ikeda."

Re: Which suji would you pick and why
With the described tasks I go at least 270mm.
I like Shindo better than Kohetsu for the grinds but 240mm would give me pause.

Re: I didn’t believe it.
Update contd. Next I pulled out a Shapton M5 12k stone gifted to me by a friend. It has some wicked gouge marks that suggest an otherwise undocumented encounter with great frustration. It gave a streakier finish than the preceding Chosera, even after I’d cleaned it as well as I could. So I pulled o...
