I have one of these, not from JNS but a different vendor, exact same kanji though. Nice steel, nice grind on these. GLWS!

Can I take a quick look through that shed by any chance?

For someone thinking about a foray into razors, any advice on where to start? Glancing at old/NOS kamisoris on ebay, but don't really know what I'm looking for (or trying to avoid, other than obvious junk). For sharpening/using it seems there's plenty of available guidance, but would love any...

Anyone ever try the all-purpose cleaver from the wok shop? See people talk about the veggie/slicer one a good amount but not this one https://www.wokshop.com/newstore/product/carbon-steel-cleaver/

Does anyone know of some sort of equivalent of yahoo auctions japan for chinese knives?

Those are intriguing! Would be interested to see how they compare to suien as an entry-level japanese-made cleaver. Bit cheaper, flatter profile, and a bit heftier (my 220x108mm suien is 420 grams even). If anyone is tempted enough to try it out, let us know!

Finally pulled the trigger on a 210 SS suji with a chestnut D hande (well, finally did 4 months ago). Will be putting to use today for the first time, very pleased with it at first glance though. 213x38 mm 140 g

Any idea what the kanji say?

Have you tried one of these? Don't see a lot of info on them on the forums, other than that they seem to be made with yellow 2 and are quite hard

Could be a Henry Hyde? I've seen Lucas post something about Hyde knives on his IG story, aesthetics seem like that could be it Photo from Hyde website

I posted a photo of this knife many months back on the blue patina thread, hope that it's earned @Carl Kotte's approval at this point! Masakane NOS honesuki from Bernal

After clicking the link I am getting misen knife ads abound. Whyyy

Can you link where you're seeing that? Having a hard time navigating the website (english one seems broken, and chrome is refusing to translate the japanese one for me at the moment)

Enjoying the developing patina on the Suien VC Cleaver I picked up from @Carlo a couple months back (post-polish attempt - as an aside, man is it work trying to polish a decently hard monosteel cleaver. Also my first real polishing attempt so maybe I am just weak of spirit 😅. WIP but no plans to...

Dang, great find. You mind if I ask how much you found it for? Just curious. Also, what's the weight? And nice thinning job - if more than that came off the midsection, that's a good amount of work!

Man those were the exact two I was eyeing. Jealous you managed to snag them!

Haven't had the suji but got a SS nakiri as a gift for a family member. Pre-patina it seems to rust pretty fast, we had one rust spot that seemed to form in under a minute. I sort of forced a patina (just cut a bunch of stuff - apples, onions, meat making sure to make contact with all of the...

Cheers. Going to be tough to resist trying one out! Thanks for passing the link along

Have you (or anyone else reading) tried his knives, and if so any thoughts on the heat treats and grinds? Searched a bit on the forum, from some BST posts seems like generally positive reviews, thick spine out the handle with dramatic distal taper but not finding a ton of details

Didn't realize they made these in the white/western combo!
