Re: Konosuke Updates
I would love to see a 240 version! This is from the first batch made a few years ago. It's a stunner. The amazing level of f&f together with that great steel equals pure Konosuke magic. I highly recommend this knife! https://knifelife7.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/konoskd-3.jpg Oh man that knife...

Re: Show us your new knife!
Nihei SLD Nishaji 210mm This one looks like it’s going to be a fun knife. Was handle installed straight./ Looks off center in the choil shot The handle is offset. With a pinch grip it doesn’t effect my cutting, however it is an annoyance. For me, the handle is oversized, which makes me want to reha...

Re: Show us your new knife!
This knife has a ginormous handle though, it throws me off a bit. All the better to wield it with, my dear :twisted: EDIT: Hey, I just looked up the Nihei SLD and found that yours is offered in one store, but an exact version by Konosuke is offered in another :o On the face of it, the difference is...

Re: Show us your new knife!
Maui, All the things you just mentioned are what drew me to the knife too 😂. I was a bit surprised in a pleasant way with this one. The edge is nice and thin and ootb sharpness was really good. The handle is pretty nice, but a bit larger than my other knives. I will do a little write up on it in a f...

Re: How do you know you're a [CKTG/Knife] addict
Try opening your order history at CKTG... It will be a interventionist experience. Also, when you have literally bought or repurposed furniture to store your knives and stones... You have arrived. This strikes close to home! I just picked up a curio cabinet, that I don’t need at all. But I saw the ...

Thank you Sean-in-AK! What do you think of these pads Mark sells? https://www.chefknivestogo.com/3x4sotomisap.html I’m interested in doing some softening of a spine & choil but not sure I’m motivated enough to search for a file. And I’ve sanded plenty of things with wet/dry and am not looking f...

Re: Shorter "Go-To" Prep Knife
For a short gyuto, I really enjoy this knife. Ootb sharpness is great too. I use this knife quite a bit for light meat trimming duties, smaller amounts of veggie prep and for detail work. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/haaswagy21.html A more recent knife in the collection is also fast becoming a fav...

Re: 210 gyuto
This knife looks like it checks all your boxes. Light, thin, wa handle, holds an edge and priced where you won’t cringe if somebody uses it. I can’t speak first hand on this particular knife, but I have been very impressed by Yahiko knives in general.

Re: Pork belly. - skin on or off
You could always remove the skin to cook separately. Then you can use your familiar cooking method for the belly and fry slices of the skin to get some crunchy garnish.
I have done this a few times with extra chicken skins with great results.

I had that happen before using Safari. I thought it was due to the items being in the cart for a about a week before actually ordering.
