The Moritaka might surprise us!
Lol, I just realized that there are two consecutive Dans on the list. AlbequerquerDan is next...then you. The order following me is:
Sweet! (Isn't Albuquerque the hardest word to spell?!?)
Asking us if we want pic and info on a new blade is like asking “does a bear ...”pd7077 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 11:29 pm Since you’re a nakiri devotee, I’m pretty sure that the height of this one will be something that you will enjoy. I saw both the Matsubara and Moritaka tall nakiris last week when I was at Matt’s shop. After playing with the Yoshimitsu, I think that the Moritaka probably has the best looking grind as well as the most refined F&F. I’m actually gonna be hanging out with Matt tomorrow so I can take some pics of the other two tall nakiris if you guys want. I’m actually pretty excited that Mark convinced Makoto to do a tall nakiri...based on other the Makoto knife reviews, that one should be a doozy!
This makes me drool. I appreciate the grind comparison, I am waiting for the makoto!pd7077 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 6:08 am Here are a couple pics of the Matsubara (left) and Moritaka (right) tall nakiris. The Matsubara has a very cool nashiji finish on it, and the grind is significantly thinner, especially in comparison to the Yoshimitsu. There is no curve to the blade. It’s just the angle that I took the pic. The Moritaka grind is probably more to my liking, but that’s just personal preference. Based on the performance of the Yoshimitsu, I would bet that these two are awesome!
