This is taken from the Knifewear website: "Second careers are often the best. I know a burnt-up chef, for example, who owns a few knife shops now. Then there’s Yoshimi Kato, who left his job as the project manager of a construction company. He became a blacksmith after marrying Hiroshi Kato’s d...

It is my understanding Yoshimi is the son in law. I can't remember where I read it, but I definitely remember reading that he married into the family. I have an old Kanehiro AS gyuto, back when the kanji was hand chiseled and the choil not rounded, that I assume was forged by Hiroshi. It is an excel...

Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to all!

Good looking knives for sure.

Doesn't get much better than a reverse seared ribeye.

They are in the Boston seaport now - specifically the Design Center on Drydock ave. Can certainly stop on there floor sometime and ask some questions. Also a yes if people want to meet for drinks or beer sometime coming up - don’t make it in next 2 weeks as I’m traveling (business). Paul Sounds gre...

A couple of us in the Boston area.. Should get together for drinks

Mark I'm really curious how much they weigh?

This is my favorite bread knife.

Darn, wish I picked this up..

If I didn't already own a 240mm Shimo gyuto I would be all over this. Great knife at a fantastic price.

Definitely the Kanehiro AS 240mm should be on this list. A perfect one and done knife for pro or home use..

—- It is softer on blade edges than Hinoki Cypress which rates rather soft. They really are nice boards. I would not put my good blades on anything other than a HiSoft. Love the thing. hasegawa woodcore series would be my choice over hi-soft. Really...why is that Ricky? woodcore helps prevent the b...

Neat

Very difficult to really make a good profit unless you are big enough to be running multiple, everyday, around a larger urban area. It is very, very hard work, and much more uncomfortable than being in a brick and mortar kitchen. With new regulations popping up in many cities across the country, it ...
