Been lusting after Takada no Hamono lately - Y. Tanaka and Shiraki forged + symmetric convex grind = <3 The "Suiboku" finish looked real similar to my Konosuke Fujiyama FT Funayuki! Is this Suiboku finish done by anyone else? As far as I know the FT sharpener was never revealed, and no longer...

Looking for De Buyer, Mauviel, Matfer frying pans, larger than 10inch/25cm diameter! Not picky about condition/seasoning

I felt nostalgic for the old wide-bevel Konosuke Fujiyama - excellent F&F, heat treat, and ultra thin behind the edge. A friend suggested I try this knife, from one of the premier knife houses in Osaka. This is their top of the line "Gokujo" hand-forged White #2 wa-gyuto...

I’ve been experimenting with a hard Aizu that doesn’t like to self-slurry. Diamond plate rips big chunks -> deep scratches and gritty feel. I’ve been experimenting with Mikawa nagura, but got one of the best edges ever with using slurry from Chosera 3k! Is this a thing?

The Masakage Shimo blades were one of the first series to Kurosaki's name. Even as a new blacksmith, Kurosaki demonstrated a keen eye for aesthetics. "Shimo" means Frost in Japanese, and the damascus cladding is meant to evoke a misty, frost-streaked window. It's uniquely both damascus and...

Taking offers for carbon steel kakugata and kamagata usuba (210 preferred over 240), price capped at $350 Apparently the #1 most regretted purchase on KKF is an usuba that ends up never getting used. I'll happily give that drawer queen a good home and a hard workout! Free up those funds for...

What knife or maker do you guys feel doesn't get enough hype? What are we all missing out on? Why do you guys think the hype train passed them by? I'll start - Masakage Shimo: VERY beginner UNfriendly knife stuck in a "beginner" brand The Good - Extremely good heat treat of White #2 by...

Hi KKF! I'm from the small (but growing) community of knife enthusiasts on Reddit (/r/chefknives) where daveb tirelessly preaches the gospel of Jon Broida and Maksim from the mountain top :lol2: I've been lurking here long enough that the damage has already been done - 210mm Toyama...
