WTT Shibata AS Tank 180mm

Used half a dozen times. Sharpened once. No box, it didn't come with one just wrapped in newspaper. Most interested in Konosuke and other works from Yoshikazu Tanaka. May be interested in other items, not trying to be vague just unsure what would peak my interest. PM with offers. Thanks for looking...

Re: Best stainless steel?

Tough question to answer. Context has so much to do with it. Anecdotally my Konosuke MM 240 Ginsan and Konosuke VG10 Nakiri are awesome. I was very hesitant to buy a VG10 knife as my pass experiences with that steel have been sub-par. I was blow away by its performed, sharpness and edge retention. I...

Yeah I think that ferrule will be a constant distraction when using the knife. The step at the wood is obvious, may as well have used plastic.
Agreed...the ferrule handle transition would drive me crazy.

Re: Show us your new knife!

Speaking to the weight. I may have to upgrade my magnet strip. Or house the cleaver elsewhere.

Re: Best gas grill ever!!

I’ve spent the last few months trying to figure out what type of bbq I wanted. I looked at the Kamado and the Santa Maria style grills and wasn’t a fan of how heavy and how long it took to get hot, even though I love the flavor that charcoal imparts onto food. Therefore, I crossed that off the list...

I was super lucky to pick this up recently. I've been hesitant to post it as I know many people were trying get one.
What’s the weight of it?

Nigara sg2 KU hammered 240 2.3mm spine (almost no taper until tip) 51mm+ height I’ve had it for a couple months now and i’m digging it. Very smooth cutter- great on the apple test. The grind on this is nuts. It’s hollow but man it is thin AF. Kinda like a takefu grind. See last picture. Great f&...

Re: Finally got my Takeda!

I've had a similar experience as several of the contributors. One of my first high end knives was a Takeda 210 stainless gyuto. It was an instant love hate relationship. I loved the profile and weight but unfortunately it suffered some wedging. After a long deliberation I decided to sell it. Recentl...
