Gotcha. Roy's is good. The ones under original ownership (Hawaii locations and Pebble Beach, CA) anyway. I grew up on the opposite (rougher and poorer) side of the island...:)

Dives/moderately priced? Roy's? I grew up there myself. Although it's been awhile. All those places you mention are great. I used to like John Dominis for a fine dining experience, but it looks like it has been replaced with 53 by the Sea. Don't know anything about that place. Mitsu-Ken...

I like the Chinese style pork belly. Here is a recipe if you like: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10153433256037758 Those Tsourkan knives are beautiful btw. I am partial to the Koa handles since I am from Hawaii originally. Curly Koa is outstanding.

I ordered it today. I had to wait until the 10th because I didn't want it to show on this months credit card bill and my wife figure out what I got her before her actual birthday. I bought an end grain butcher block as well and a tri clad stainless set of pans. She will tell me I shouldn't have...

I haven't ordered yet and yes, I have thought about the return process although factory direct shouldn't be that much of a problem. I will take your and others advice about the 210mm size and stick with that. Thanks for the input! I am just deciding which one I think she would like best from...

On second thought, too many options will make things worse for me. A Nakiri can be the next knife I buy her if she takes a fancy to the Gyuto, which I am sure she will.

Thanks for the insight. That's the kind of feedback I was looking for when I listed the knives she already had. I was already looking at throwing in an end grain board. She has wood, but not end grain ones and I wanted to make sure the new investment was protected. So now that a Nakiri is...

Thank you for all the info! I have ordered from rakuten before. The only concern would be shipping time. I have a wireless mouse that I ordered on the 12th and will finally get it today. Other times I have not had any problems.

I won't agonize too much, I've done this with other things many times before and now know better. I just use expert opinions and research to make better decisions. The real problem is finding one of those 3 for sale. The Konosuke HD2, GG, and Suisin IH are hard to find in stock unless you...

I would first like to say thanks for all the replies! Those that are worried about knife maintenance is that the deal is, if she cooks, I clean up. So maintenance isn't really an issue as I am the one making sure the knives get treated right 95% of the time. Believe me, in the...

Hi guys, I am looking to add to my wife's kitchen knife collection and get her a new one as a gift as well as a high quality pan but that is for another forum I guess. I have bought all of her knives since I am the one into knives and she really doesn't care that much about them. She does...
