I have a couple of Moritakas. While they are not daily drivers, they do see use. Both still look good.

Tanaka Ginsan 240 and shredded lettuce.

Just finished this saya in burnt oak for my sous chef's new Kurosaki Raijin 240mm gyuto.

New rotation in my work kit.
Anryu B#2 240 gyuto, Kurosaki AS 270 gyuto

Started makinig my own sayas earlier this year. I have a pretty primative set-up. I started with a coping saw, hand chisels, & sandpaper/hand block. I recently upgraded to a handheld belt sander & a jig saw for shaping. I still carve the interior & finish by hand. My first few all by han...

Just received this beautiful big boy just in time for my birthday. Kurosaki Fujin As 270. It is a big amazing cutter. took it to work today and gave it a thorough workout. The grind on it is insane. So much knife. Thanks Mark! https://i.imgur.com/NaEDW5Vl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GCkbaoYl.jpg https:/...

Shi.han 180mm gyuto in 52100 carbon. Awesome little knife.

Yuki making the slaw for a fish fry.

How does it feel using it in a pinch grip? Does it feel natural & comfortable?

Wow, looks great!

At work, I mostly grab my Kaeru 150 sld petty, & a 240mm Masakage Yuki white #2gyuto. At home, I tend to grab my Tanaka ginsan 240 gyuto & Tanaka ginsan 150 petty.

Sorry to resurrect and older post but I am looking at this exact same knife and was wondering if the OP could let me know how it is. I am quite new to the forum so if this is bad form could someone let me know. Thank you. I ended up getting a 210mm sld gyuto from Masashi. It is an amazing cutter. T...

Tanaka blue #2 nashiji 270 and pork butt for tamales

FYI, I'm 99.9% that the Yuki is NOT Ho wood, but Magnolia wood, which is why it has a different feel, character, color, and density than most Ho wood handles. Although Ho and Magnolia can (and are) sometimes used as synonyms, the knives I've used with magnolia handles tend to vary and have a clearl...

Kurosaki AS 170mm ku santoku. A lot beefier than I expected. Spine is nice & thick, then tapers down. Gives the blade a workhorse feel. Cuts like a dream.

Received mine today. Thank you again, Mark & Sue.

Thanks guys. This helps a lot. I tried to buy a pack of 20 off eBay a couple days ago. After I paid, eBay pulled the item & flagged the seller. Now I have to wait until the 10th to file a claim. My mother-in-law is 81 & has cancer. My wife is her caregiver. We have been looking everywhere fo...
