Re: Anybody has experience on knife made by Itsuo Doi

I have the 210 version. Definitely not a light weight, but seems like a great grind. I am no expert, but it is one of my heavier knives. It developed a patina quickly, but once it did it seemed smoother to wipe down than other reactive knives I have. Maybe just my experience for what it’s worth. Enj...

Re: Show us your new knife!

What feature makes this FM a “special” series? Other than all Fujiyama knives are special!

Re: Sinker Cypress

I would think cedar would tend to be pretty soft. Even old growth. Fir, if old growth, seems to be much harder than what you can get now. What we see here on the west coast.

Re: What's the story of the Konosuke YS?

My YS has a different color in the dark finish. It is an early model. Did it change with time, and if so, any idea what the change was? Thanks,
Charlie

Totally awesome blade! Gotta think they are pretty rare no matter what steel they are made with?

Re: Western handle advantage - the flipside

I wonder if anyone has seen a cutting board with a slot grooved into the board to hold a bench scraper? Could be on the side, or on the top. A thin horizontal cut. It bugs me to slide it under the board when not using as I have limited space. Just curious.

Re: Next Batch Shape of FM B#2 GT240

As for handles, I am finding myself gravitating toward the straight laurel handles. Thought the Khii Ebony were the ones, but really liking the uniform look of Laurel.

I have just sold my first knife and am struggling to find out how to change the title to include sold, or otherwise let the mods know. I posted that it sold but want to make sure I have it right. Thanks!

Re: WTS Masakage Yuki Sujihiki 270

Price drop to $190, still including saya, original packaging, and shipping. PayPal is fine. Would like to see someone get some use out of this great knife rather than having it sit in my kitchen! Thanks

Masakage Yuki Sujihiki 270 - SOLD!

Bought a knife, so need to sell a knife. Many know this knife, I have others in this line, just don’t grab for this like I should. Have used it twice, no sharpening. I paid $270 a bit ago plus extra for the saya. I would like to get $210 for this, Saya, box and shipping included. Any questions, let ...

Re: Help Needed: Masakage Yuki Edge Retention

I love my Yuki! I think the fit and finish is pretty nice. Love the finish and how easy it is to wipe clean. Grind on mine seems good, and edge does need some touching up, but not that big of a deal since there are other knives in the rotation. My .02

Re: Favorite knife to breakdown lingcod and salmon

I’ve got a buddy who does salmon with a small petty. Best fillet I have seen. Goes around the outside from the top to the bottom of the fish. I would love to copy the technique, but am afraid it would take me a while to get good at it.

Re: Favorite knife to breakdown lingcod and salmon

Thanks for the recommendations. For some reason I feel like it needs to be shorter in height for skinning and piercing through the fish when butchering lingcod. As for frequency, luckily I get to process 20 or so fish a season. Not so worried about portioning. Maybe I should attempt the next fish wi...
