    SOLD Mazaki 210

    Got a couple of knives to sell, both are solid knives, mostly just getting rid of them because I'm a little over iron clad knives. Too much hassle for me in a professional environment, they just sit in my roll as I use my semistainless and stainless clads for most tasks. Will entertain trade...

    How important is stone choice for polishing (kasumi) progression?

    This seemingly effective SG kasumi progression is what is sparking this question. I hear a lot of people saying a lot of different things about specific stones in progressions and their influence on final kasumi results and it's kind of confusing as a newbie. A lot of people say they don't...

    Wholesome Video of a Sushi Chef Buying Knives.

    Saw this video and it made me smile so I figured I would share it with the only other people I know that care about knives. It's nice to see knife buying from a normal perspective like this where it is a communal thing and people learn from word of mouth and connections (kinda like KKF but...

    Questions about resurfacing stones

    I have some questions about resurfacing/retexturizing stones with SIC powder. Namely I'm just confused about what grit to use, how often to resurface, and for what stones. I've heard ~60 grit for coarse stones, and ~220 grit for medium grit stones, but what about finer stones (3000+)? How...

    Wusthof Aeon or TF Denka?!?!?!?

    Guys I'm really undecided, I hear all about the F&F issues with TF so maybe I should just go for this Wusthof instead. After all, I would have money left over for a Wusthof paring knife if I went for 210 Denka. hmm https://www.wusthof.com/collections/aeon/products/8-cooks-knife-1011000120...
