If God wanted me to be a vegetarian he wouldn't have made animals taste so good.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Wanted a tall stout 165mm petty on a restrained budget so I went with the Gihei for it's value.
This thing is like a mini-gyuto!

I'm absolutely fascinated by those stands.

This is definitely gonna be the centerpiece on my countertop! Maybe you guys can convince Duy to bring a few slabs of marble to the show in September

I'm Dave. I don't take myself too seriously and you probably shouldn't either.
Re: Show us your new knife!
I can bring a demo one to the show and if i get orders from anyone that"s going to the show I can bring them with me but they"re not light, rather not carry a bag of rocks. lolLufty13 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 15, 2018 6:56 pmI'm absolutely fascinated by those stands.

I was there when Tanaka San and Morimoto San signed that paper for the knives. I would love it if they kept doing that for the unique pieces they're doing.

Re: Show us your new knife!
Steve, can you hook me up with the guy that made that holder? I want to talk with him...
Re: Show us your new knife!
Takeda 240mm Classic Kiritsuke. This is my first Takeda, although years back I got to use a sujihiki that belonged to my sous chef at the time. To be honest, this was kind of an impulse buy and I wasn't too sure what to expect. I have read much on other forums about some inconsistencies and other issues, and wondered if I would love this knife.
Wow
It's awesome. No wedging, takes a scary edge that sticks in my board. I was shocked when I put it on the scale after a week or so of using it and seeing that it was my heaviest gyuto at 7.3 oz. It is even heavier than my Yoshimune, which feels like a brick. How is this knife so nimble and light feeling? What kind of sorcery is this? Now I understand the Takeda magic. Great distal taper. So, so easy to sharpen and strop as well. Fantastic handle - I love the epoxy sealing. And yes - I have never experienced food release like this before.

Thanks Steve,
Always email for me. It’s way easier for me to save them and look them back up.

For whatever reason I can get his knives sharper than any other line we carry. They cut fantastically well.Runner_up wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 11:22 am Takeda 240mm Classic Kiritsuke.

Re: Show us your new knife!
I just sharpened mine for the first time before I sold it and I was very happy with the results, as was the buyer. Even gave me a compliment.ChefKnivesToGo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 16, 2018 12:39 pmFor whatever reason I can get his knives sharper than any other line we carry.
