Re: Tall Short Petty

Have you considered the Kuwabara?

With plenty of higher end options here, the Kuwabara is the one we reach for lately.

Re: Still not happy with my Results

Re: New choil on the Kohetsu HAP40

Here's one I altered with a diamond burr and drill a while back.
I started out just smoothing rough edges and got to this.
For this little convex knife it's a huge improvement.
Fits like a glove now. (Takahashi)

Re: Which is correct: roiling boil or rolling boil?

From the tea world, that would be "fish eyes," full boil with big bubbles.
Barely boiling w smallest bubbles; "shrimp eyes."
A little further along but not full boil; "crab eyes."

A good read is "Post Office" by Charles Bukowski.

Macros look great but hard to tell what it would look like (cosmetically)...got any zoomed out shots?
Cosmetically the knives look as always. No extra scratches from sharpening if that's what you mean.
No change in contrast to speak of.
