    Watanabe for lefties, 270?

    If a knife is a laser like takamura r2 red hadle, it does not matter. when a knife is thick like the toyama 270, it really matters.

    Watanabe for lefties, 270?

    I am also a lefty who owns toyama 270. Mine is between 70/30 to 80/20 righty biased throughout the blade and does steer. When I ordered my 270, I also ordered the lefty toyama deba and mentioned that I was the lefty via email. If I use my 270 with my right hand, food release is fantastic. I...

    Why did I receive Masamoto KS without a saya?

    No, I bought this from a Japanese vendor. JCK sells them included sayas, even CKTG used to sell them included sayas.

    Why did I receive Masamoto KS without a saya?

    I bought Masamoto KS gyuto, but it didn't come with a saya. I thought I was supposed to get the saya. Does it usually come alone without saya? Can anyone confirm this? I even see scratch marks from saya fitting on the blade. Thank you in advance.

    Shigefusa kitaeji vs honyaki

    Both are in a close price range. What would you buy? I haven't try any honyaki, so I really wonder what I can get from a good honyaki from a reputable blacksmith? Shigefusa kitaeji is around $1000, and I think I can the good honyaki with this money. I only tried Shiggy kasumi so far, but I...

    Heiji Gyuto

    Heiji carbon's edge keeps coming back by touching on fine grit stone forever. I don't know when I am going to hit 1000 grits stone. Edge retention is ridiculously forever as well. The sharpest carbon I have among all my knives.
