Re: Show us your new knife!

This is long overdo, I never got to post of my recent acquires from my Japan Vacation. I visited many knife places but I always go to Konosuke and they never disappoint.

WTS: Konosuke FM & Masamoto KS

Hello, I'm selling two of my knives from my collection due to some financial issues, I'm trying to get close what I paid. The two knives are pretty self explanatory, a Konosuke FM Blue #2 240mm and a Masamoto KS White #2 240mm. Both are brand new, never used or sharpened, both comes with a saya. htt...

Re: Kitchenaid Stand Mixer Dying

I second the all metal meat grinder attachment for the kitchen aid, I had the same problem using the plastic one for years. Durability was not there. I now have the all metal one. Love it. https://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-3984101/KitchenAid+Metal+Food+Grinder+Attachment Also used kitchenaid mi...

Natural stones for dummies

Hello, I have been sharpening my knives for quite some time with the Shapton series of stones from glass and now to my current set the Shapton Pros. One thing that I am always curious about when I buy new knives is that where do you start with natural stones and should I be including them in my arse...

Re: Crispy pork skin finish.

Honestly crispy pork skin is hard to cut thru even with a good knife (think using your knife on crusty sourdough). So I usually use bread knife to make the initial cut (marking) then come in with a slicer or long gyuto.

Re: Show us your new knife!

Very sweet. I rather enjoy the White-steel version from this line. Have you had a chance to use it yet? I have used it and it pretty awesome, love the wide bevel. When I was there they did show me the white line but it was very short at the heel, almost gyuto/suji. I generally prefer white steel to...

On my road trip across America, I had a chance to stop by Carbon Knife Co in Denver. Awesome duo there, thanks Craig and Tina for this awesome knife.

Re: Sharpening Marks on new Kono FT from Bernal

Wow, that's a shame. I totally agree that the FT, from the sound of it will be around more than the Fujiyama. The full refund is a good choice. Still must have be a bummer to open and see those marks. I can tell you from using my FT, its awesome. Super thin grinding such a cool looking laser.
