Re: No service interruptions.

I signed up for alerts on these. Are they individually sealed? I am going to donate some to friends in hospitals but keep some to give to workers who don’t have them that I come in contact with. I’d think everyone would be more comfortable if they are individually sealed for safety when some random...

Re: How to detect a burr

I find it's very easy to find on the coarse stones with your finger going perpendicular to the edge as mentioned. My issue is finding the small areas that don't break off on the higher grit stones or detecting a wire edge. I can ID it during my cut test through newspaper when the blade hangs up in a...

Re: My fault or flaw in metal?

I keep a Victorinox 8" chefs knife in the drawer for all the occasions Mark mentioned. Cut up a pineapple and watermelon yesterday. Didn't even think about using a J knife. Just powered through it with the Victorinox and never had a worry about chipping or breaking anything.

Re: ~ 150mm Petty

I’m really happy with my Konosuke gs+ petty. It’s not really a true laser but it’s definitely thin and works great for everything I have used it for. Haha what makes it not a "true" laser? In my opinion it just doesn’t have that super thin behind the edge feeling that a laser would. Using...

I will post it next to my other 240s as soon as I can

I believe it’s a touch short right around 235.

I can measure for you when I get home this afternoon.

It has good clearance for my knuckles at 6'3 but I'll get you the details this afternoon.

Re: FS: Konosuke MM B2 240 gyuto

Those MM B#2 are a real sweet blade. Very versatile profile. Sturdy, yet still glide through anything. Nice price! This shouldn't last long. GLWS! I agree 100%. It’s the best all around profile I’ve used. Thick spine to give it some weight and very thin behind the edge to just move through product....

FS: Konosuke MM B2 240 gyuto

MM b2 with the ebony handle for sale. The knife has been used a bit but not sharpened beyond some touch ups on my 8k snow white. The knife is very impressive but fully reactive knives and I do not seem to get along well. I polished off the patina with BKF before the sale.

$315 shipped to the US.

Re: Shipping Times.

I believe I get everything in 2-3 days down here in Florida. Amazon Prime and CKTG have heightened my expectations for shipping times. I have ordered some stuff from AliExpress and the 3-4 weeks is a terrible wait.

Re: New arrivals section - my thoughts

I agree, the bright custom handles are not my style and I don't care what knife they are on, I'd never buy one. At this point I still check every day but generally feel inundated with "old knife, crayola handle".

Re: An Introduction and An Inquiry (Kono GS+)

I have the gs 150 petty and just sharpened it for the first time yesterday. It sharpened quickly and the burr dropped off faster than most stainless I have used. I took it to 3k and am happy with the performance of that edge. I used it daily for about 2 months before it needed to get on a stone, str...
