Re: Japanese sickles
I just watched the video and couldn’t stop thinking about a sharp edge ground into the dirt. It hurt, even knowing that’s what these tools are made for. --- <Cringe> While they are plunging sickles in the ground, they are not really designed for that. There are some Japanese weeder & hoes that ...

Re: 1K Stone Recommendation
The https://tinyurl.com/y7t954dh,Shapton Pro 1000x<< is as good a cutter as it gets. This is the attribute to look for to shape the bevel fast! It is also splash-and-go so no soaking required. Another advantage is it wears slowly , so will last very long with minimal dishing. It includes a case whic...

Yeah, I like the Sanjo << too. I have six of his knives (if the same smith who I think it is) all fantastic performers.

Re: Baking Much?
Thanks for the explanation. Your bread looks so delicious! If my kids would eat that style of bread I would jump on the bandwagon and pick up some gear. We have one really good bakery in town that makes great homemade bread, but I bought a loaf once and my kids hated it. Maybe when they get older t...

Re: Forum special
Mr. Kuwabara mentioned something I didn't know. Most of his grinding work is by hand with wet stones, and he uses an Amakusa stone for the final edge sharpening. Only one process which is for shaping is done with a machine. I'll still happy to sharpen them if you want me to, but I thought I would p...

Re: Edge deformation/ roll-over on Ginsan/ Silver No.3
I've seen it happen. There are knives whose edge is too fine and acute to cut dense bread. Use a bread knife.

Re: Baking Much?
It does looks nice. I've always favored slightly wetter dough, makes for more steam.

Re: 120 vs 75 for Pairing Petty
Control is key. Factor in the handle too for in-hand feel.
I like my 80mm Carter for in-hand paring; the ironwood handle feels perfect.

Re: Comparison between sharpeners
Personally I favor a https://tinyurl.com/y4gjau8t,10x loupe w/wider FOV and quality glass << over magnification though I rarely use one now. I chase the apex flipping often and prefer https://youtu.be/2k1o70tMHYM,the three finger sharpness test << for " the most accurate feedback "
