Agreed, but totally and completely useless for left handers!

They missed out on the upgrade version that my mother in law bought me... the adjustable fiddlebow!

I hear you on the price increases. I got a left handed 180mm Gyuto, and I have to say it cuts well OOTB. The edge isn't exactly what I'd call refined (very visible scratch pattern), but very serviceable. A quick trip over a loaded strop has had a positive result. There's a very obvious left hand...

That's a great attitude. I love the fact that you have so much confidence in your products. :doublethumbsup:

I tend to think of Puukkos as being more like this, but I've no idea why. I was under the impression it was kind of a traditional Finnish general-purpose-belt-knife style rather than a filleting style.

Adrian, I think you missed the link.

I have a small Gyuto on the way. I've never taken a choil shot, but I'll give it a go when it hits the doormat. Sadly they don't list the Nakiris, but I've heard good things about the grinds so I figured it was worth a shot. Worst case my Padwan sushi chef (aka no.1 son) will give it some...

Thanks Tom, ever the gentleman. I think Japansemessen has me covered this time. Of course, you could bear me in mind if you happen to wander into anywhere that sells 1 micron diamond spray... :D

Those are the very fellows! Looks like my Google search was in the wrong language! Thanks for the help.

Hi, I hope this is appropriate - please move/delete if not. I fancy giving the Zanmai PRA left handed knife range a go, but I'm struggling to find any stockists in Europe, or that will ship to Europe. A couple of places have their higher end stuff available, but so far nothing for us lefties...

I pride myself on my fries (they're called 'chips' here :D ). They are why I have a gut and man-boobs. I sometimes cook mine three times, adding a final dunk in very hot oil to get them crisp. I mostly use Maris Pipers; Idahos aren't common around these parts. I thought I'd tried most ways...

Welcome. I've just been checking out some of your work - very, very nice!

The last time somebody asked me to sharpen a knife for them I took one look at it and then offered to buy them a new knife. It was the only way... :D I'm no sharpening guru, but I do ok most of the time. Around here, that probably puts me in the bottom 50%. In the world at large, I'm probably...
