Re: What's your choice of "The most pleasurable stone" to use?

I do have to admit that the various natural stones I’ve collected (5, including a Monzento I got from Ken) are generally much more pleasurable to use than my synthetic stones. ALL of my synthetic stones, whether I ENJOY them or not, function great, and give me wonderfully sharp edges, almost effortl...

Re: Show us your new knife!

I have decided, after about 4 years of looking, that life is too short and it’s ok to treat myself to $400 knives. Also, I think I finally know what I like and I’m done ****ing around. :lol: Left: new Toyama stainless 210 from JNS Right: old shape Mazaki 210 from Mark4pt0 I’ve never been so excited...

Re: Workhorse for home

I like the Fujiwara FKM recommendation.
if you want to spend more than that, MACs take a beating -just soft enough- and are easy to bring back with a ceramic rod.

Re: Takamura chromax vs R2

My vote is for R2 but tbh I’ve never used the Chromax. I seriously doubt there is a wrong choice, so I’d let your wallet choose.

What happens when you gift a knife

Just got this pic from my good friend. I gave her and her partner a Yahiko VG-10 gyuto (the rebranded Tojiro) as a housewarming gift.

I like the idea of something to benefit a charity.

I can’t suggest the best way to do it. This kind of organization is beyond me.

Re: WTB: 150-200mm tall petty/small gyuto for board work

Bump.

Open to consider any shorter yo-handled gyuto or taller petty but really looking hard at the Tanaka yo-handled 180mm VG-10 gyuto

...if anyone has one that’s not getting used please lmk.

Another one would be a yo handled TF, fit-n-finish be damned.
