Re: Black Lotus Knives

For sure Slo, that patina is legit. I stoned a few portions of the cladding before sending it off, and that wrought iron is quite nice.

Re: Black Lotus Knives

I've had a few sessions with the Lotus: In Short: The Lotus has a very good: weight/balance, handle, and feel. And a decent edge. I think the distal taper's transition, and the edge-to-spine transition could be improved. Aesthetically, the wrought iron looks great. Lotus was tested against enchilada...

Re: Black Lotus Knives

Hi all, Just received the B.Lotus; it arrived in good shape. Out of the box: - The handle is a touch small, but plenty good. And matches the balance of the knife. - The balance is quite good. About 5 to 8mm in front of the logo vs. maybe....275g? (will check tomorrow) - it moves well. - The distal t...

If the above were true, would you make a painting using honyaki in lieu of brushes, Maui?😁

Re: Honyaki whats the deal?

They're magical in nature, and have wands hidden in them. You can shoot water from some and oil from others. Thats why they are called mizu- and abura- honyaki, respectively. If you swing them quickly enough you'll hear a lightsaber's sound!

I am kidding of course...or am I?😁

I find that having searched for "the perfect knife" I have purchased so many "very nice to great knives" that I just don't cook often enough to justify having them all. It get right back to personal preference and I find that some very excellent knives just sit... Oh I'm so pass...

Re: Konosuke Damascus FM 200 Gyuto ⬇️⬇️

Nakneker is a stand up guy, and it is a great knife. The distal taper is better than the non-dammy FM's in my experience, as is the F&F.

Give in to it dan...you know you want it!

Re: Konosuke Updates

As for holding onto stock....this is both impractical, uneconomical and in the end will not increase your chance of snagging one. What Maui said. I'd like to point out that none of this is Mark's fault (if people are thinking that). He is one of the few retailers who will actually accommodate us - ...

Konosuke Fujiyama 240 blue 2 gyuto - SOLD!

This is from the previous sale; the buyer backed out. I would like to ship it this week, so it is being priced at ~21% off retail. Konosuke Fujiyama FM 240 Blue 2 gyuto: Original Batch , a bit higher tip and slightly longer, used, a light touchup on 4k - no other sharpening . This was the passaround...
