Re: How to identify unknown Yanagiba?
There’s some that don’t have marks on the face of the blade. Could it possibly be one that didn’t pass QC for branding but was still sold? I can’t imagine it happens often but even CKTG sale page has products listed as seconds or defects with fair pricing. Rejected items at deep discount can still b...

Re: Handle Install Advice
This is great feedback so far. Thanks guys. I would still like to see any other opinions if they exist, but hot glue sounds like it is close to what I want. It sounds like most of you don't mess with sawdust as filler, but perhaps that is actually assumed in your feedback? Feel free to clarify. I k...

Re: I didn’t believe it.
Nice!! The amount of time it takes to polish to a very high level is a test of patience. I’m liking that shot after the 5k. Impressive stone!

Re: Kekoa gyuto started
Looks very nice. The length of the emoto (neck) looks generous and spot on. Comfortable while simultaneously functional without compromise. The correct length gives the most possible blade control.

Re: Knives at work
Kept this new in box for a long while. Rotated out the Yoshihiro for this 270 Tesshu in white 1 flavor. Loving it so far. The heat treat is above my expectations.

Re: Single bevel question
Single bevel gyuto would excel at butchering a cow. Maybe some large fish too. Though a 240mm+ mioroshi deba could work just as well for large freshwater fish or smaller saltwater fish. I wouldn’t use a single bevel Gyuto for most generic daily prep tasks. There’s many terrific double bevel options ...

Re: Is there a “best” steel?
I have done some searching for knives stating with Ginsan. The only one I could find is Tsunehisa Ginsan Nashiji Oak Gyuto 210mm for $145. My understanding is this is more of factory mass produced knife and hence the low price. It does look nice and I am ok as long as it performs and lasts. I would...

Re: Hand made knives
I like the responses of having a story. All used knives have one. And it’s kind of cool that hand made knives already have a story which has begun before it’s first use. Hand forged or not, usually doesn’t sway me one way or another when comparing knives, especially knowing they will get hammered da...

Re: Miyabi Black ZDP189 knives sharpening angle.
Congrats on the recent knife! I have sharpened the Miyabi series knives though not specifically their MC66 line. Sounds like it could use a fresh bevel. Diamond plate will make it easier to do so. Zdp189 can take a 10* edge. Maybe add a little microbevel depending on your cutting board material. I t...

Re: Anyone else peel all their vegetables with their usuba?
I did for a few years working at sushi bars. Now, not so much. I really do miss using usuba and keeping the knife skills top shape. Maybe some day I will carry one in my knife kit again. I’ve never used the spine to work produce. Interesting approach!
