Re: Enjin Knives SRK8 steel

You are welcome AD and with what I have experienced, I say yes to your summarization. Here is where my newbie nuance limitations come in. I guess "smooth" refers how it goes through all food, dense or light. The Anryu goes through everything with less effort which is not to say the Enjin ...

Re: Show us your new knife!

When I'm old and free, maybe I'll get the gear and know-how and make a knife of my own, and then I'll figure out what kanji says "made by Dan" :ugeek: It'd be katakana, not kanji, as Altadan isn't a Japanese name. ダン作; Made by Dan But why Japanese characters, instead of inscriptions in yo...

Re: Show us your new knife!

Maybe "The Dan Knife" could be added as a kanji. Don't they all basically say, "Tanaka's Knife" or "insert-your-maker's knife" When I'm old and free, maybe I'll get the gear and know-how and make a knife of my own, and then I'll figure out what kanji says "made by...

Re: Any requests for a new Togatta?

Here's the Tabata. I'm surprised he did this so fast. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/tabata1.html I get requests sometimes for togattas in 210mm. It might be worth trying. Wow! The shape, height (and price?!) on this are eye-popping, and that really was a quick turn-around. I've the notion you only...

Re: Show us your new knife!

I put in an order… I also got a few Japanese straight razors from him. The edge on this knife is blue #2. Indeed they are. Sorry, I've busy with life - I'd love to post a shot with the patina when I get around to it. I believe you've offered a few nakiris and santokus from this line recently. This ...

Re: Show us your new knife!

Finally, the Shigeki Tanaka I always hoped for! One of my very first Jknives was his B#2 Dammy, after having heard so much about it... but mine turned out not so spectacular. I had professionally thinned to great effect, but I have since sold it. Now, this one arrived and it does "Tanaka" ...

You say that's iron clad B#2? Is this that same that's offered on CKTG?
