Kurosaki Arrivals

[jacko9]

Kurosaki san is working on Shizukus now and I’ll have them soon.

Also, he offered me a set of ironwood western handled Senkos. I never get a chance for these so I think I’m going to take them.

That looks like a amazing blade - how soon will these be here?

Well, be prepared for mad dash of ordering. I won't even try to get into that frenzy!

[ChefKnivesToGo]

Ok these are purchased and I'll get them soon.

Here are starter pages started for the ironwood westerns. I'll have Ray work on copy and we'll update specs when they arrive.

So, feeding frenzy next week. You, and Sue, and Lacey(?) will be busy.

And why does this imgur hosted picture show up, but your others don't? Yes, I restrict Java Script, like, a lot. Usually they are in an iframe, with scripts running from gethub.

These cleared customs and will be here tomorrow.

Thank you Mark. I hope you and Sue are ready for the madness of orders coming in, and the people upset that missed out.

[ChefKnivesToGo]

We got slammed over the past week so we're as ready as we're going to get. Xmas busy right now and we're hoping it will let up after customers get some of their stimulus money spent.

[Jeff B]

Mark got my stimulus money before they even passed it....

[FisherMAn1298]

Sue and I had a tough time at first but after 30 years of practice, it's gotten much easier.

Because you finally learned she was the boss.

As they say Mark, happy wife, happy life! You must be doing something right brother, we all thank you for all these fantastic knives and accessories. They just keep coming and get better too!

First post. Picked up a Fujin AS Santoku 170mm.

[Jeff B]

Love my Fujins, have an AS 210 gyuto and 240 VG10 gyuto!

Which do you prefer Jeff?

Not Jeff here (nor nearly as knowledgeable) but I also own Fujins in AS and VG10. I give the slight edge (sorry about that ) to the VG10. I prefer the look of the AS and the ability to put a more refined edge on it. That said, the VG10 is also a looker and takes a very nice edge. But what puts it over the top is the fact that it's non-reactive. Having a great a knife with that attribute really sets it apart for me. I recently bought one as a housewarming gift for some friends and seeing their oohs & aahs reactions when they opened the box was really sweet. In either steel, the Fujin has a presence.

I've been using a 270 AS as my main knife lately and love it.

The performance is so very close but I'd give a slight edge to the VG10. The grinds are very similar but the VG10 just feels a little thinner and more laserish. I actually use the AS more because of it's size, it fits my needs better overall.
They are both such great knives I can't really say I like one better than other. Like Ronnie said, the all stainless has it's advantages at times but I also love that nice crisp edge and retention you get from the AS. Just a great line whichever direction one goes.
