Low post count pass around.

See what's happening with current or completed "Pass Arounds". Forum members occasionally send knives or sharpening stones around to a hand selected group of participants for short term use and feedback/reviews.

Low post count pass around.

Post by ChefKnivesToGo »

I thought it might be fun to offer a passaround to those that get left out all the time. How about I do a konosuke white #2 gyuto (240mm) for 5 guys with under 100 posts? I'll personally sharpen it so you can see my work.

If we get more than 5 guys I'll choose based on your order history with me.

Sounds fair. I have never done a pass around yet. I always seem to check after the rotation has already been decided

I think I might be under 100 posts and would really like that. Plus, shipping to me is cheap or I could drive down on a weekend and pick it up, LOL! Count me in if I qualify!

I own a Kono W2. Profile was exactly like my HD2. The W2 was perhaps 1/10 of ounce lighter and the tip seemed slightly thinner, though they are both lasers.

After comparing I decided to sell my HD2. I liked the blond handle on the W2 better, the price was great and the W2 sharpens easier. HD has the edge on retention. Both great knives. I use the W2 as a slicer and for fine boardwork.

Spencer, since you've had some bad luck getting in on pass arounds I'll put you in on this one.

You're 1 on the list.

Thanks Mark! As always I'll shamelessly plug CKTG on the Care Free Cooks Forum. I know there are more coming your way again, I've been asked for a lot of recommendations. Someday we'll have to come up with a way to count then so I know they're taking my advice, LOL! Thanks again for putting me on the list, looking forward to it!

Hi Mike,

Yes you've had a number of orders with us too. We have a midwest vibe going here so we should have fast shipping between guys.

You're #5.

I'll figure out the logical order and get this one going. I'm going to send it to Steve for a review first. Once you get it please feel free to use it, sharpen it etc. I also would like you to give a short review on the item page and please come back to this thread and tell us what you think. Since you're all new to the pass arounds I don't care if you like it or not, just give us your opinion and have fun with it. Like I said I'll finish sharpen this one so be mindful that it's not the factory edge when the first of you receive it. These blades are ground identically to the HD2s and the Swedish Stainless ones so you'll have some reference points to those knives.

If somebody drops out, I would love to be a part of the pass around.
