Would you install them for an additional cost if we shipped the knife to you?

Re: Gyuto Laser…?(Takeda Lover)

It’s too bad that Makoto Kurosaki doesn’t make AS clad knives anymore. When Mark has them in stock, the Kato AS line with the stainless clad nashiji pear skin skin finish are good too. It’s my daily driver. I wouldn’t call it a laser though, but it’s a very good middleweight with nice grinds. It’s a...

Re: What did you cook today?

Has anyone ever tried oxheart style tomatoes? They seem real meaty and would be great for a sauce.

WTT/WTB Takada No Himono Ginsan

Hey Everyone,

I have some of Takada No Himono carbon steel knives, but I’d like to try his Ginsan knives, preferably a Gyuto or Nakiri. I’d be open to purchasing it or trading knives in my collection. Please reach out if you have one and would be open to working something out.

Thanks

CLOSED - Would like to sell parts of my collection

I have amassed quite a bit of Japanese knives (almost 300 or so) and I haven’t even used 3/4’s of them. That being said, I’d be willing to part with some of them. I don’t really want to list each one by one for sale, but if you want to reach out I can provide you a list/pictures of what I have and o...

Re: better option than Kramer Carbon 2

I think a better option would be the Steelport chef’s knife. It’s about $400 bucks, but I like the in hand feel and they do a great job on the heat treat, so it’s very easy to sharpen.

Re: 2 Knives wanted.

If I were you I’d find her a masakage nakiri. I love the height and they are always some of the sharpest knives out of the box. Another good choice if on a budget would be one from the Haruyuki or Tsunahisa line. They are made from great steels and usually have a great esthetic. In terms of bunkas, ...

Re: Are there five must try knives?

It’s completely subjective, but if I had to pick some I’d say:

1) Konosuke Fujiyama Vintage Swedish Carbon
2) Takada No Hamono Suiboku Blue#1
3) Takamura Chromax or Hana SG2
4) Nigara Troll Killer
5) Shigefusa Kitaeji Swedish Carbon

My latest knife I purchased on Black Friday from Burrfection. It comes Wednesday. I really like Nigara knives. I wish I could afford a Troll Killer, but the knife I got was too good to pass up. https://burrfectionstore.com/products/nigara-aogami-super-matt-migaki-tsuchime-210mm-gyuto-with-white-antl...

Re: Anyone Have Experience With A Miyabi

I have few Miyabi knives. They are owned by ZWILLING and made in the Seki region of Japan. I have the Miyabi Black (ZDP-189), Miyabi Artisan (SG2), Miyabi Birchwood (SG2), and the Miyabi Kaizen II (AEB-L). I don’t know the Kaizen, but I know it’s made of VG-10. It’s a very common Japanese steel and ...
