I want to sell my Ealy mini Nakiri (AEB-L). It was from his first run of four of these back in January 2014. Reason for selling this is that it just sits on my knife rail, I don't use it. Maybe used three or four times over the course of two years. It's not been sharpened, still with "stock"...

Hi guys, just wondering if any of you has any experience with the bread knife (well... knives - he has two different Korouchi finishes) of Watanabe. I really like the looks of it, the blade is about 30% serrated, the other 70% isnt. How does it perform, how's the steel on it...

Hallo allemaal / Hi everyone, I'm looking for a Dutchie with rehandling experience. I've recently bought a Kato which I might want to re-handle, but I'm a total novice at it, and before ordering one I was wondering if any of you have any experience with rehandling. Let me know :)

Selling my starter knife, my Yaxell Zen Gyuto. It's a 255mm VG-10 blade, ordered from Nagomi Japan about a year ago. It has a few scratch marks (see pics below) on the right side because I learned myself to sharpen with this knife. Blade has got to go because my Konosuke GS 210mm gyuto...

Well, after a bit of thinking (a lot of thinking) I'm considering to buy myself a workhorse style blade for home use. This workhorse shouldn't be a wedge monster btw. Specifically thinking of a Yoshikane SLD/SKD/V2 or Watanabe blue #2. If someone has a Shig Kasumi or a Kato lying around, you can...

Hey people. I promised a friend to get the name of a knife maker for him. The kanji was very familiar to me, but Ill be damned; I cant seem to figure out who the maker is. You guys will probably nail this in an instant:

I stumbled over this maker when looking at one of his videos about Katana forging. He's the so manieth in line sword smith since the late 18th century. He's now started forging kitchen knives because the Katana market is very small and he needs the income. Here's his website...

Great way to sharpen your knives if you're not ready to freehand yet. This set has served me well during the 6 months I've owned it. I got myself a few full size stones and am now learning to freehand. I 'refurbished' an Old Hickory knife which will now be my practice knife. I bought this...

Does anyone have experience with this specific line of Masakage? I'm interested in buying a 150mm petty. This line has a shirogami #2 core and a carbon damascus cladding. Handle is white magnolia with a black pakka ferrule. I can't find any reviews other than those of 'he that should not be...

This Japanese webshop sells them, and I have to say they look appealing. Pretty cheap. But I have never heard of the kuromaku line of Shapton before. I can find plenty about their glass series for instance, but not about this ceramic series. If these stones are any good I might try some, as...

Someone in Germany has been defacing Micky D and BK bill boards by painting on them and then writing down simple recipes (possibly missing some ingredients): http://www.grubstreet.com/2013/11/german-fast-food-billboards-defaced-recipes.html

I found this in my father in law's kitchen, it seems pretty soft steel, and it's quite dented. Anyone any idea what the Kanji (or is it Hanzi) says? I do suspect it to be Chinese.

Good evening guys and girls! I'm Erik from the Netherlands. I live in the nice and cozy city of Leiden, I work as an acoustic engineer near Amsterdam. I'm an enthusiastic home cook and scotch single malt whisky lover. Over the last two years I've discovered the beautiful world of kitchen knives...
