This is the knife that Steve sold to me. I haven't touched it. Still has the 500 grit edge.

It's mine, not yours so treat it like so. I don't want this on the line, but welcome to serious prep

Again, I haven't touched it. It needs sharpening. Anyone want to do this first?

[gastro gnome]

I'd be interested in checking this one out if there is room.

[Chefspence]

Gastrognome is in. Shipping info please all.

[cjmeik]

Spence, I'll jump in and would happily sharpen, if you'll have me!

[Chefspence]

Haha. You again!! Of course buddy. Can you handle two at once? That might be a lot of sharpening. Take an extra day or two though. Wdyt?

[Chefspence]

Bad news grandmas passing. Need a week or so. Please continue to send addresses

[Chefspence]

Knifenis out and about!

[Chefspence]

Good?

[cjmeik]

Got this guy in my hands today.

Ok. This is confusing coordinating four of these at the same time. I need your help. I sent you all the info for who to send the knife to next, except for my address. Those who are last, just ask me when you're time is up. Stay in touch with each other and double check that you have the right address to send it to. The order of participants is still the same as listed, just make sure the next person is still able to participate when it's their turn. Please keep us all posted when you send and receive the knives. I don't want to have to chase everyone down as that adds more confusion

Again, follow the rules. Be courteous. Take good care of the knives. I usually use USPS when I ship, though you can use what you like, just keep things in their original boxes and package them well. Please insure the knives for over their original worth. I shipped mine with insurance from200-300$ depending on the knife. Write a review everywhere you can on cktg and the forums. And of course, have fun! Thanks

This one is on its way to Cutuu.

Big thanks to Spence for the opportunity.

This knife was a bit of a conundrum for me. I'll write up some more detailed thoughts soon.

[Chefspence]

No probs. Sorry it's such a pia. That doesn't give me much confidence for when I get it back

[cjmeik]

Spence, don't let my experience affect your confidence in the knife. Overall, it is an outstanding blade and I was probably just having a bad day on the stones. This thing has Trip Advisor #1 rated food truck knife written all over it!

I wonder if the Megumi responds better to synethic stones. Like to hear from Steve G how he sharpened.

Spence, have you sharpened both the Tanaka and Megumi? Love to hear some compare/contrast ...

[Chefspence]

Honestly I didn't try sharpening either I basically bought them and shipped them off for the passarounds

[Cutuu]

I got the megumi

[Chefspence]

I got the megumi

This one is on its way to todd. I'll send tracking info soon. Thanks Spence!
