    Second Western Rehandle

    With recent events, I've found myself with a lot of free time and decided to finally go for this rehandle. The knife is an Ohishi Sakon SKD 210 mm gyuto; used some mosaic pins from ebay and the curly hawaiian koa. Scuffed up the bolster and blew out the corner of the heel during grinding. Will...

    Gift for a friend

    Good friend from college requested that I get her a knife as a wedding present. I thought it'd be nice to make a handle for it. It turned out well imo, but given more time, I would've tapered the height some more. Stabilized buckeye burl with blonde buffalo horn

    Tanaka nashiji 190 mm gyuto and 150 mm petty

    I'd like the knives to be in good shape and not sharpened too much. My friend had requested the knife as a wedding present and I've been waiting on metalmaster for the better part of 2 months for the knives to restock, but they haven't popped up. Just throwing it out there. I don't mind...

    WTS: Gengetsu SS 240 mm gyuto

    With a heavy heart, I've decided to sell my Gengetsu 240 mm gyuto. Sharpened 3x since I bought it in 2014. Unfortunately, it seems like the water in my area doesn't agree with the steel so it's got some pitting. I'll post pictures later. Looking for $350

    Western handle attempt #1

    My gf has had this knife for a few years now and the handle was pretty blocky so I decided to try my hand at rehandling. It doesn't look too bad so I thought I might as well post it and see what you guys think and what I can improve on. The pics were adjusted a little to make them less yellow...

    Looking for some Wok advice

    I've come to the point in my life where I finally find that I could use a wok. Fortunately, there's a Chinese kitchen supply store across the street from my school that has a bunch, but really, I have no idea what I qualities I should be looking for. Any advice or purchase suggestions/links to...

    Tesshu from aframes

    Anyone see these yet? The 210 and 240 seem a bit short, but the 270 seems like an awesome knife. F&F looks good. http://yhst-27988581933240.stores.yahoo.net/tesshu-wa-gyuto-270mm-white-ii-steel-japanese-chef-kn270.html

    Selling: 240 mm Kato gyuto

    Great performer, but it just doesn't suit me. I've had it for a month and touched it up on a 6k stone once. Asking $450 + shipping. Will post pictures when I can get some daylight tomorrow.

    WTS: Saji R2 240 mm gyuto

    Bought this last year and put it through its paces, but need to sell it to fund other purchases. This knife was thinned by Daniel O'Malley at EE last month and performs better than it did new. Some light horizontal scratches present from etching preparation are present and I filled a void in the...

    Is this delamination or something else?

    I was polishing the spine of a new gyuto when I noticed this very thin yet palpable crack. The knife is a clad carbon knife so delamination might be the culprit. I would like some second opinions (hopefully telling me it's nothing) before I talk to the vendor. So what are your opinions?

    Gengetsu semistainless gyuto

    I purchased a Gengetsu 240 mm semistainless gyuto after reading a couple of reviews praising its performance and I wasn't disappointed. Shipping was fast and Jon emailed me to let me know the knife shipped and I would receive it before I moved apartments. Knife came very well packed - the box...
