Re: Handle Install Advice
I’m a user of beeswax for handle installs. Even if it get loose it’s a simple and fast process to redo it. If it fits well it holds great. I also like that you can easily remove it if you want to try a different handle.

Re: Anyone use a clever?
I use a cleaver most often on ribs, but not a whole lot of use.

Re: I didn’t believe it.
I think these aren't sharpened by Naohito Myojin, but by Myojin Hamono...apprentices.
The grind is not looking too good on the on you got. Lots of work, which isn't uncommon to some extent on yanagibas, but this is pretty exteme.

Re: What did you cook today?
My family roots are from Kentucky, and my uncle used to cure country ham and I have fond memories of this special ingredient. I remember MANY years ago when we first got married, my wife decided to surprise me with dinner using a slice of country ham. She had no idea how to make it and made it like ...

Mark is such a money-grabber with all the money he made on these 3 knives.

Re: I didn’t believe it.
I was fortunate to buy a left handed Kitaoka B2 300mm here several years ago…never saw them available again anywhere.
Hope someone who wants a great knife jumps on one of these.
Just looked and saw these are gone…not surprised.

Re: My Nakiri
I like my nakiri, but if I added another I’d like to try a tall nakiri.
Also, your wife might like a nice bunka. The addition of a tip proves nice to have, and once you have one, she might like it a lot. My wife now prefers our bunka to the nakiri.

Re: Want to get a cast iron pan
I have a Lodge and a Field. The Field is nicer due to lower weight. I will someday hit thrift stores and antique shops to try to find some nice vintage cast iron. I appreciate the lighter weight of the Field, so the Lodge isn’t used often.

Re: Want to get a cast iron pan
I think you will most likely find the cast iron piece at an antique store for the 35 is a great pan if it doesn’t have cracks and is clean.
Post pics or just check YouTube for info on used cast iron pans.

Re: Beach Break
Mark, glad you had a great break. You both deserve it.
Ray, what a beautiful place to move to. Building a new place is fun…and frustrating a lot of time, but it turns out well. It’s nice to have exactly what you want.

Roaduck, I hate to be harsh, but your “collection” pictures are stunning…not in a good way though.
Sorry, but it looks like a bit of chaos.

Re: What did you cook today?
Ronnie, I love hot/sour soup! Now I’ve got to make some.
I’m just finishing up a curried beef, but I’m waiting on the veggies. Always roast a tray before adding them in. It really makes the flavor jump up a notch.

Re: Matsubara new shop.
I’m glad to see production increase. I’ve wanted to look into one of his knives, but they usually aren’t available when I decide to be in the market for a new knife.

Re: What's your favorite test for a new knife?
I usually just make a meal with carrots, onions, celery, potatoes, and some sort of meat, or a variety of things for a stir fry. I grab a head of romaine, tomatoes, cucumber and usually an Asian pear for a salad. That’s a common pantry meal prep and I can get a pretty good idea of how my knife cuts.

I think this is a great knife with a very nice core steel.

Since you said bunka, this might come in to play. Fabulous knife for the money.

Re: Levels?
I also agree that after years of doing this, I’m no longer worried about stone flatness after flattening. I have a straight edge to check flatness, but I don’t use it anymore. I do use it to check my knife profiles most often. If you use a good flattening stone or diamond plate, and pencil a grid an...

Re: Levels?
Just use a pencil and draw a grid on the whetstone. If you have a flat flattening stone, then once you are done flattening, you have a level surface.

Re: How am I Getting Patina on Stainless Cladding?
I also seem to remember reading somewhere that during forging at certain temps the stainless somehow mixes with the core and can stain where it is ground. I certainly have the cladding patina on my Shiro Kamo AS stainless clad kiritsuke.
