6 Anryu Kurouchi Shirogami Damascus Santokus https://www.chefknivestogo.com/ankudasa16.html

Here was my Favorite review of the 20 or so we got today. Listen, this line of knives is just gorgeous... the Damascus pattern is bold & beautiful. The European style handles are familiar & comfortable. The handles aren’t as well finished as some higher-end knives, but you probably won’t not...

To top off an already dreadful year, my knife slipped off the cutting board during my last shift of 2020. I cringed as I saw the bright spark of the blade hitting the tiled floor. I was so busy I just slid the knife under the flattop and tried not to think about it until after service. At the end of...

This was a recent review from a customer after using the knife for a long time. After determining that I'm not a laser guy, doing mostly simple straight cuts, and wanting something a little smaller and more nimble, I settled on this little guy. That was in late 2017. Cooking at home, I put it on the...

Look at all that butter!

Love it.

Trying times require drastic measures.

I tried showing the stones better.

I put a note to the customer for fun.

Said a few words to tell customers what I was doing.

Screwed up the shaving test but the paper test worked out.

I'll keep playing around with the format. I'm going to switch to some other stones soon.

Ok, good. I'll do a few and incorporate the suggestions.

I'm experimenting with doing some demo videos of me sharpening with no instruction. Basically just giving customers a peek at me working in the shop.

Baby steps.

Here’s today’s masterpiece.

Sweet!

I updated the software so that should have fixed this issue. Let me know.

One handed. This is how stupid people hurt themselves.

I tried to get them to put a regular tang on them so I could install my own handles and they wouldn't accept the offer.

Anryu and Ikeda both work together and have for over a decade. Ikeda is now handling the business and they're both making knives. The older guys almost never quit if they're physically able to keep working. Often they'll do easier tasks as they get older. When I met the elder Mr. Hinaki from Sukenar...

Gyutos are all gone. We have a few santokus left.

I'll post here again when we get the next order in a few weeks.

I dumped those because customers didn’t buy them and when they did they complained about the handles. They required us to buy 20 per sku which didn’t make sense for us since some sku’s took 2 years to sell that many.

Does anyone remember an infomercial for hand hammered woks? It was done like a 30 minute show with a live audience. Pretty cheesy stuff but I remember them showing workers in China with hammers banging out flat disks of steel into shape. “But wait, there’s more! You also get a SOS to clean your new ...
