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.

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...

I am a newbie and still dont understand about natural stones. Why do they have dramatic price differences? Let say, for example, there are A and B stone from different mountains, but hardness, paticle sizes, and cutting speed are same. Sizes, shape, and no toxic lines are also same. Not all...

I got a new and my first Shigefusa 240 kasumi gyuto. When I first received the knife, and it wouldn't cut anything, very dull. Therefore, I took it to #8000 stone and was trying to give a sharp edge. However, I couldn't get a stupidly sharp edge that I get from all others. I usually put a new...

Literally, damascus pattern on core steel, not on cladding! I don't have a good camera to catch this pattern, but there is. Can anyone explain it why? I really like this pattern though.

I am looking for 200-300 grit stone to fill my atoma 140 and shapton glass 500. My budget is $100. Thank you in advance.

I love my 270 carbon heiji gyuto, but it wedges. I want to raise shinogi line all the way like other wide bevel gyutos. What do you guys think?

Among clad knives, It looks like all high end knives are iron cladding carbon, but I have never seen stainless cladding carbon. If I am not wrong, why? Does anyone know?

Hi, everyone! Toyama nakiri is 210mm x65mm and suji is 210?mm x 110mm, I believe. Which one would be a better choice if you were me? Sujimoto would be little too big and heavy 450g? Toyama is 270g. I understand steel differences. I want something flat profile without tip. I don't want 165mm...
