The sharpening session before the Apple test used a sharpie to ensure I had the correct angle. The sharpie marks were removed on a aizu then mother’s metal polish on cardboard. Currently if I hold a single paper towel pinched in my left hand, I can clean cut about six inches down.
Generally the knife visits for about seven days. This gives most people workday food prep and weekend food prep. Those terms are used loosely with a crowd that doesn’t nessesarily work 9-5.matchplay18 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:30 pm Passaround great idea. Excuse my ignorance but how long do you keep the knife to try it out.
Woo hoo. Let’s see if you like it as much as I did!
Both Makoto and Yu apprenticed under Hiroshi Kato. I have no doubts that Makoto worked on the Koishi. If you lay a Makoto W#2 over a Yu Kurosaki AS the profiles are nearly Identical except the Makoto has more of that Kato-esc backswept choil at the heel like on the Koishi. Something I'm sure he picked up from Kato-san. And Yu made the Shimo line for Masakage of course.
All good points I agree with, but it may be more simple: they probably just shared a stamp, no? As Mark is fond of saying, the stamps for patterns are widely used and expensive, so it makes sense that any group would want to share them (and the investment) whenever possible.Jeff B wrote: ↑Fri Jun 29, 2018 12:44 pmBoth Makoto and Yu apprenticed under Hiroshi Kato.

I'm sure that's very possible Joe.salemj wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 10:49 amAll good points I agree with, but it may be more simple: they probably just shared a stamp, no?
