SOLD - Raquin 240 Gyuto 145sc

Hey y'all, up for grab today is a Bryan Raquin 240 gyuto featuring 145sc steel with iron cladding and burned oak handle. Gently used and never sharpened, the blade originally came with a kasumi finish and has since picked up some blue-brown patina on either side. Patina does not always photograph cl...

Re: What was your first good Japanese knife?

And I thought my Victorinox where all that until then. Went to CKTG to buy some sharpening stones and tripped and fell into a very deep rabbit hole! :shock: :ugeek: Jeff, do you still have that HD2 perchance? Always fun to see an old knife that's lost some mass but remains a cool killer no less.

Re: What was your first good Japanese knife?

Reckon this a rather popular response: Tojiro DP, the 180mm gyuto, specifically. I've since gifted it to my sister and am always glad to see it being used and loved over there.

Re: Bespoke Oak Knife Boxes

I understand your space is limited. Do you have any room on the wall, perhaps a bit higher in the kitchen or elsewhere in the house outside the kitchen? As others have mentioned, your current arrangement seems dangerous for both the knives and --more importantly-- people. Or as another alternative t...

Re: Okay, what are these two?

Second appears to be Masamoto's Swedish stainless, perhaps a 180 gyuto that's spent good time on the stones over the years.

Re: Show us your new knife!

Some time ago I got my now sister-in-law a red handle Takamura petty, which quickly became just about the only knife on her board. Fast forward to yesterday, she returns the favor with a similar Tojiro. I'm glad to have found a gift that's been so well used over the years, and grateful and eager to ...

Those don’t look like the original one I purchased when they first came out.
Reckon you got the first iteration before they made an aesthetic change around this time?

Re: Photos

I don't have a technical input as much as curious why your photos on Instagram always look significantly better in every way than anything on the website. Does your photo server or the web host restrict the resolution? I could be wrong but the improvement point here seems more on the presentation th...

Bamboo carving board, indeed. That photo I believe is from a family gathering when I made a roast. And worry not too much, good sir, for I mostly use Hi-Soft in my own kitchen.

Re: The older I get the smaller it gets.

For home cooking, a 210 (or slightly longer) is really in the sweet spot. They're big enough to cut most things but don't require a ton of space. I really enjoy using larger knives, but they're too big for the smaller cutting boards I most often use to prep meals I've had the pleasure to try a good...
