    Bird's Beak Knives

    FWIW, I got a similar Herder bird's beak and didn't particularly like it. The Vic just felt better in hand.

    Bird's Beak Knives

    After some more research, anyone have any experience with the Toijiro DP one? Looks like the heel might be a bit sharp.

    WTB Show me your 180’s

    Sounds like someone wants his Wakui back…

    Bird's Beak Knives

    I saw that one in your chicken butchery video. Very cool, but probably beyond my European post-doc budget, alas.

    Bird's Beak Knives

    Thanks heavens no. 😂 But I actually use it instead of a regular paring knife. Just feels more intuitive for in-hand work, for some reason. Sharpening is indeed a problem, one alleviated slightly by the lack of board contact. My Vics I just use a honing rod on sometimes. But I was actually...

    Bird's Beak Knives

    Inspired by panda's recent thread on paring knives, I was wondering what people's thoughts on bird's beak paring knives are. I've always used the little Victorinox one you can get for a few euros, but have obviously been wondering as to whether there might be a better alternative. Tried a Herder...

    Bought 180mm Yanagiba

    Before I go scouring on Mercari, I thought I might as well as see if anyone has one here. Looking for a ~180mm right-handed yanagi (in any of the Hitachi steels). Let's keep it under $200—less is more.

    SOLD HADO Junpaku W#1 240

    Yeah, Maruyama did a sterling job with these. And the shinogi is high enough that you don't feel it even through dense produce.

    SOLD HADO Junpaku W#1 240

    Description: This is by far the most beautiful knife I've ever had the pleasure of handling—pretty impeccable fit and finish and a gorgeous handle. Got this recently from a fellow forum-member, removed the annoying lacquer they put on it, gave it a quick touch-up on a BBW, used it for a few...

    Convex or S Grind Santoku makers

    I got mine off of a fellow forum-member. Looks a lot like this one: https://www.epicedge.com/shopexd.asp?id=95728 Carbon has the nashiji version, with a slightly different grind. And Bernal has one in V2.

    Convex or S Grind Santoku makers

    Wakui's stainless-clad migaki line comes to mind, although your wife will still have to deal with a carbon core. Great convex-laser grind, though, with remarkably good food release.

    Bought Belgian Blue Dressing Stone

    Often find myself using a BBW for touch-ups and don't always feel like reaching for a diamond plate. Anyone have one they don't need? Cheers!

    That thing is insane, but I’m sure my old Mercer won’t be jealous. In! Thank you!

    Help non-polisher pick a polishing stone

    I've actually had pretty good results with AS on a BBW for sharpening. As far as polishing is concerned, another alternative to consider might just be uchi finger stones. In that case, you can use synthetics (though probably something higher than 2K) to polish the core steel and then just create...

    Knife Polishing Service

    That's true—both Korin and MTC (back in the day) seemed to be more focused on just offering basic sharpening services. I will say that it's quite a rewarding (if time-consuming) activity to do oneself, and one does learn a fair bit in the process. Something like micromesh makes life much easier...
