Re: Show us your new knife!
Not new but after 10 months of mostly being stuck at home, it appears that cleaning out the basement can no longer be procrastinated. So, Day 1. Try to control your envy but look what I found . . .
Napa Style Santoku Knife Set
No idea who gave these to me or when. I have absolutely no memory of ever having received them. But being the pack rat that I am, I just couldn't get rid of them . . . until now.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Hey, I have a "set" of two of Napa Style Santoku knives like yours I got at Costco years ago! So, are you selling them in the for sale subforum here?
You can blame Mr. Suburban for my being here.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Unlike a gyuto, a Santoku is supposed to be three knives in one, which implies you only need one in the kitchen. It is wonderfully ironic to see a three-pack.

Re: Show us your new knife!
I think I'd probably have to pay someone to take them off my hands.
I guess that means these are technically 9 knives, not 3. What a windfall! It really is a strange bit of marketing to bundle 3 knives of the same type together. But I'm guessing that whoever bought them for me thought it was a great idea.
LOL - you beat me to it!

Re: Show us your new knife!
I bought that same set from Costco in 2007 when I moved into an apartment at college. I learned how to sharpen with them too.ronnie_suburban wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 4:34 pm Not new but after 10 months of mostly being stuck at home, it appears that cleaning out the basement can no longer be procrastinated.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Very cool! How are you planning to use it? I'm curious, what are the patches that are a slightly different colour due to? I have those on my Konosuke SKD and always wondered. I'd assumed it was some type of patina that has formed before the knife got to me.
