Re: Which suji would you pick and why

I would get the Kohetsu. You'll use and appreciate the longer length in a slicer. The Kohetsu is also clad in stainless. It will be easier to maintain than a knife clad in iron, which requires some additional effort to keep free from rust.

Re: Bare Strop vs Loaded with CBN or Diamond

I've never understood the conversion of microns to grit. I've looked at various online sources and they're conflicting and all over the place. Perhaps someone here who is more knowledgeable can explain it. However, I use 1.0 micron diamond spray on a balsa strop frequently on all my knives to mainta...

Re: The Kekoa TJ Custom Knife Log

I was irritated to notice after I finished sharpening that at some point I allowed a small pit to form on the tang right where it enters the handle. :| I took a toothpick and some Frog Lube and scraped at it till there wasn't any orange, then I put some wax around the tang like I have on my Yoshimi...

Re: Is this knife toast?

That's an easy repair for Mark, but the cost of postage both ways may make it impractical. If you don't want to remove the chip yourself, you can just keep using and sharpening the knife as usual.

Re: Help me design my next batch of knives.

I don't care for k-tips. I also think a gyuto will have broader appeal.

Re: The Kekoa TJ Custom Knife Log

I like the blade profile. It looks like a long, tall santoku. I have a Gabe Mabry/Doberman Forge gyuto in 80crV2 and the patina developed nicely with cutting meats. Feel free to post a picture of it here, I'd love to see it! I'll send you a photo of the Doberman in 80crV2 by pm. I don't want to hij...

Re: I didn’t believe it.

Is the macrobevel the result of sloppy grinding of the cutting edge?

The 250mm Gyuto would be cool.
I have the 185mm santoku and it gets a lot of use. I like that it's on the longer side for a santoku.

Re: Knife maker Shintou

That's a cool store. Thanks for posting the photos. What we still don't know is who made your knife. Perhaps it's a house brand. It has some similarity to the Tsunehisa Nami AUS10.

Re: Gyuoto Recommend switching from Western Chef Knife

Dr.Fire.K, welcome.

Like you, I have the Moritaka AS 165mm nakiri and 130mm petty. You mentioned that you're "Feeling strongly about the Moritaka AS gyuto 240." I also have that knife and am very pleased with it.
