Japanese Knives Finally got a bunch of stuff up on the site... LOTS OF NEW STUFF

JBroida · May 12, 2015

Here we go... it's taken me all day to find the time to get these up...

First up, we're getting into the outdoor knife game a bit (well, knives, hatchets, and axes)... Gesshin Outdoor:

Next up, we added a bunch of new natural stones:

and, lastly, we expanded out Gesshin Kagekiyo line a bit to include some slightly lower priced options with a bit more simple design:

Thanks Jon, just picked up one of the small aotos...can't wait to give it a try.

Got the axe! Checked Twitter during service, saw the post, and realized I've gone 33 years without owning an axe so it made sense to buy it.

Suddenly Kagekiyo is really affordable. This is awesome!

Great news Jon! Those hatchets looks great - I have a simpler one and I love the way it cuts - these must be even better.

Questions about this knife: http://www.japaneseknifeimports.com...in-kagekiyo-270mm-staineless-wa-sujihiki.html.
1) HRC?
2) You say "The steels are also a bit more forgiving". What do you mean?
3) Can it be used by a left handed?
4) How do you compare with http://www.japaneseknifeimports.com...-heiji-240-mm-semi-stainless-wa-sujihiki.html
Thank you!

I like the new Kagekiyo knives. Additionally, for some unknown reason, I find that Gesshin axe to be very compelling...

1- about 61-62 hrc
2- i mean it is tougher and more durable (less prone to chipping)
3- yes
4- it is much thinner than the heiji and has much nicer fit and finish... the heiji takes a better edge and holds it longer, but is much more prone to chipping
