SOLD Home kitchen use for about a year. Very good condition but on the right side there is some scuffing behind the edge where I got too low on the stones. Paypal or Venmo, CONUS only. $225 shipped.

Looking to get new handles put on my knives. Who is doing this service now? Thanks

I've taken a long journey finding the right knife for me, and geometry and grind were the priority, and the steel not so important. I finally settled on two that are perfect for me: Kintaro and Gengetsu. Been using them for years and have no desire to try something else. I've owned a lot of...

I'm about to sharpen my cousin's axe and need some pointers. It's a Schrade SCAXE10 using 3Cr13 stainless steel. What would be the highest grit I should go? I planned to go to 1k Shapton GS, followed by kangaroo strop loaded w/ 1 or .5 micron diamond spray. My main concern is using the right...

All sales paypal only, CONUS only Ginrei 210mm 52100 gyuto. Sharpened maybe 4 times. Best balance of midweight qualities I've ever found. $400 Tanaka R2 210mm gyuto. This was made during the transition from father to son when they didn't have kanji. I had Jon Broida resurface it just enough...

I have a set of Hammer Stahl Cutlery steak knives. Typical softer German steel. I'd like to get the factory edge into shape, but I don't want to go crazy like I would with my gyuto, a guest will just cut themselves. And I have ceramic plates, so durability has a higher priority than sharpness...

Is it possible to use tungsten in blade manufacture? For example a Tungsten upper core, with an edge steel below of whatever, say Aogami Super, then clad in SS? Besides weight it appears strong besides. I'm just curious if this would make it possible to make a laser that has the weight of a...

This is from Chubo a couple years ago when they quit putting Kanji on for awhile. Walnut handle. Sharpened once and touched up on a 6k once or twice after that. I've had a few Tanakas and always felt the damascus etching robbed performance so I had Jon at JKI polish this one. Goes through food...

Ever since I decided I was tired of keeping up the iron cladding on my Shig I've been trying to find a replacement that has a similar balance of qualities: thin behind the edge, right profile, some weight. I've tried a number of knives, but the ones worth mentioning are Itinomonn, Kochi...

Any kitchen knife makers go to this show?

Hate to sell this, but... Sharpened once just to put "my edge" on it. Barely used, I just reach for my Tanaka R2 more, more of a laser than wide bevel guy I guess. These run a little short, so if you normally like 210mm, you'll like this. $380 shipped, paypal only, CONUS only.

Would be a really durable workhorse. Only sharpened once. $280 shipped. Paypal only, CONUS only.

From JKI. Anyone buy one yet? Love the profile. Looks like it could have a thin grind for some ways behind the edge, yet 166gm weight. Me likey. My old Shig pretty much soured me on taking care of low alloy carbons (or iron), but with a squidge of chrome I wonder if this will act more like AS...

Stainless clad blue steel. Used a handful of times only, I'm not a nakiri user anymore. No pics at the moment, but looks just like the site. $170 shipped, paypal only, CONUS only.

Was trying these out to find a good "low cost" recommendation for friends. All three are barely used. Ikazuchi F&F is very good, lightest one here but blade heavy so it has good momentum for a thin knife. The wide bevel Tanaka is the heaviest here, no surprise there, and this particular one has...

Really don't want to sell this but I'm just over keeping up with the iron cladding (yes I tried a number of patinas and was never real satisfied). Home use, sharpened maybe 4 times (touched up really). $350 shipped CONUS only, paypal only.

Total impulse buy and I now realize I will probably use this to break something down once if ever. $80 shipped Paypal and CONUS only.

This is the stainless clad V2 version. It has been my main knife for a year (home use). Sharpened about 3 times. Stepped up to a bigger 240mm Kagekiyo so I'm selling this excellent knife. $210 shipped. Paypal and CONUS only.

Selling my Itinomonn kasumi 180cm nakiri. Stainless clad V2. Very thin grind, yet a nice weight. Fantastic cutter. It pains me to sell this, but I just don't use nakiri's. No pictures but this has literally been used a couple times only. $110 shipped. Paypal only, CONUS only.

So in my search for a stainless clad knife that could replace my Shig, I've settled on a Kochi for some time. The Tanaka R2 wa-handle just came available again and given how I liked my blue #2 Tanaka I thought I'd give it a try. I've only used it once so far, but I really feel like the rough-ish...
