Shockingly enough mine was a 240mm Yamada gyuto. People consider them wedge monsters, but I got mine made with a very extreme taper and slightly thinner grind. It’s a beast that surpassed all my expectations. Great when this happens. A wonderful thing. Happy for you. Similar thing on a Miura AS 210...

240mm's -Hatsukukoro Blue #1 dammy, and then my first wide bevel Hado White #1 picked up late summer. A lot with the Hado, but lately have been switching back and forth between them with perhaps a lean to the Hado. Just picked up two K-tips, but that is this year and haven't seen enough use yet.

Haven't seen far side for some time. Just great.

I bought mine a few years back along with the smoke bbq monitor setup, with case. Got the silicon jacket for the pen, since it had magnets and lives handily next to the range. For anyone of interest the silicon jacket takes a bit of effort to get on and must be removed to change batteries. They also...

Congratulations to both. Wish I had, had the cash.

I believe you should be able to PM after 4 or 5 posts............try again.

Sweet Always wanted to try one of Will's knives. Just really don't think I can scrape up the cash sadly. Glws

Ok. You guys have shown me the error of my ways. Next week the price will start rising by $5 a week. Joke. @TrueNorth She is always closes promptly,, so undoubtedly it is for sale. Since 12 weeks has passed 12X5 plus 270 = $330. You may be able to low ball her at and get a great deal at 270. Even a...

If you have a spare 20 minutes I think it runs, you may find this video of interest perhaps.

It still works for me.

Thanks for the video XexoX. Makes perfect sense to me and very glad you shared.

Gyutos in SKD12 - How does this compare to another steel in terms of edge holding? IE: Slightly longer than White#2. Pocket knives/edc - I own/owned low end knives as Case, Schrade, Buck etc and am simply not pleased with them. To me, terrible to sharpen and never get where I want it to go. A little...

Congrat's on the sale Jeffry.

There's the video for you.


Moderator Edit: I embedded it for you.

I am handed right, so it works for me. Having used both D and octagon, to me there is a slight difference. Having said that, most often I prefer a D handle. It is much more the size rather than the shape for me though.
Wonder how many people understand what a deal this is.

Yes, however total cost (presuming one has some) is about 6 inches of tape to ty it out.

Kono ys may be calling your name. Diamonds should be fine, though with your wording your selection may fall sort in grit.

All you need to do is take a piece of cardboard (IE; cereal box) and tape it to something, even the very edge of your table to keep it from sliding around. Strop like your finishing strokes of sharpening, on the unfinished side. ALWAYS edge trailing, Then take it from there, if you like what that do...

My vote for the best way to sharpen damaged cutco knives are to preferably find a cutco sharpening dealer and drop them off, or in lieu of that to send them in. Then you can maintain them for him/her. While I do not know how cutco sharpens, my guess would be knives in the condition these are in they...

Rather interesting attempting to single out a single aspect, from a package deal. I have seen to many times to my taste, images of beginners which have completely destroyed edge profiles. So for me, sweep the entire blade heel to tip. If you must work in sections, then stroke shift, stroke shift and...

Good that you posted. The height of the blade should be taken into consideration before any upwards grinding however slight. 210's are typically shorter in height along with length.
