Probably it’s just snapping off the bent bits, which already is an improvement over a rolled / bent edge on a non serrated blade.

LOL

Hahahahah

The practice is the hard part...

Nice to know. Might wanna try some cleavers and knives from them sometime in future. Does anyone know if they make knives in the traditional handmade way still? If so, whom are theyr current bladesmiths, any idea, please? Always curious to reveal the most possible about every knife brand and...

Agreed

Who makes this? I mean, whom is the bladesmith, please?

Nooooooooooooo... Really? Blowtorch and all? It did anything?

Share the results please

First I’d ease the choil with some sandpaper or file. Then use 180~300 grit sand paper to make knife scratches all longitudinal, then polish with sandpaper up to 600~1000 grit and some carbide powder paste. Then sharpen flat on 800~1500 synthetics and then Ohira Tomae. After that I’d use...

Tested it? How does it cut? Would love to see this one polished by a professional sword Togishi by the way... Congratulations on the amazing knife.

+1 for Dr.Ken. Great value and work. Cody Paul is also great but a tad more expensive. Alton Janelle IV too but his current wait list (hence prices too) are a bit of a let down...

Oh god... No man should be able to yield such a power. HUGE Christmas sharpening stone sale right now.

+1 for Dick Micro. I don’t RECOMMEND honing rods for very hard blades above 61HRC, not even a ceramic or a “glass” rod. For this type of knife I’d say: strop with leather / newspaper until you need to do a few passes on a stone to refresh the edge and just maintain such a cycle. That said, the...

If you want something cheap using X Cro Mov steel but really rugged and small, I’d recommend a VictorInox small folding blade.

Killing me with suspense... so: how did it go?

Isn’t Sugimoto the one famous for their Chinese Cleavers? Do they make traditionally Japanese hand forged blades or they go for a more industrial production method?

Oh, I forgot: and ridiculous about of fat fat free Chromium and Chromium carabides (which are basically the worst carabides you want on an actual cutting tool).

Generally it’s cheap X Cro Mov steel with 0,3~0,6 Carbon, about 52~57HRC, very springy and malleable blades thick behind the edge, laser cut and badly finished.
