Wow Ian. They look really impressive. All other works shown here or on your website look amazing too. Gotta start saving up some money!! :)

Wow...

Such a great looking knife indeed... Sigh... GLWS

Looks amazing Ian. :doublethumbsup:

Last one came at 1am but the two before that came around 10:30pm for me.

You are not the only one :)

+1 for having in-person instruction with an expert. I had similar experience not long ago and attending a knife sharpening class really helped. And this might help too. http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/showthread.php/19065-Only-edge-trailing-strokes

I am actually in the same boat. I always wanted to gift a good J-knife to my mum who lives far away from me (10hrs flight) and have been looking at this for a while.

It's explained here.

I think this might be something that OP needs to think about. If it turns out to be thin and good enough, it will be an awesome choice for the OP. But if the edge turns out to be too thick, it can be a problem because he doesn't seem to have any experience with sharpening on stones. Although it...

+1 to this. I had lunch at Kenzan yesterday at the sushi bar and it was great. Had tuna belly, urchin, scampi, calamari and other stuffs and loved them all. The tuna belly and urchin literally melted in my mouth and very fresh. Also loved calamari, very thick but smooth, juicy and sweet...

Have a look at the Sakai Yusuke Silver#3 165mm at BWJ on eBay. Or you can ask Keiichi at BWJ if he can source a...

As you already decided to go for Hiro AS gyuto and petty, why don't you get a santoku in damascus? The Togiharu hammered damascus santoku from Korin looks affordable and should be aesthetically pleasing. And I think 180mm santoku is perfect for wives/girlfriends because they are usually...

Congrats!!!

Welcome!!! :)

Well, I just sent an email to Koki asking him to get one of the AS series gyutos for me. I'm planning to use it for a while and when the time comes I'll send it to Dave for his full spa treatment.

Ah... that's sad news. Better get myself a few before they run out... Thanks for letting us know.

I've heard lots of good things about Gessin Ginga series from JKI but the 210 western handle is currently out of stock. Send Jon an email or PM to ask for the shipping cost to UK and when they will be available. JCK also has lots of different western style SS gyutos. Browse through the...
