I'd love to hear what tips or ideas you have after using yours for a while. Being both new to that knife as well any quality knives makes me info hungry lolOriginally Posted by kalaeb

My first step up from Henckels/Wusthof/Sab/etc!

I must say, this thing is a revelation. Cuts thru veg with almost zero force, and leaves a surface so smooth I want to carve an inscription on it. Time will tell on this, but so far does not seem to be very reactive.
Balance and weight very different from anything else I have (almost weightless and balance not nearly so far back as my other knives). Still getting used to this, but it's not what I'd call a hardship. It's my first wa handled knife, which I like so far. Only minor regret is the length - I chose 210 over 240 so it would be comfortable for both my wife and I to use. I wouldn't mind having the extra length. On the other hand...she seems to like using this knife as much as I do, so I expect there will be more in the not too distant future.

That has to be one of my favorite lines on KKF.
Nice lot of Sab's
my knife cleared customs today, under 48 hours after it left japan, such quick shipping. if I am lucky, i might get it tomorrow before the weekend, otherwise its gonna be monday
After selling off and trading a big chunk of my collection over the last month, this week I started seeing some new toys arrive! 3 Shiges, 1 Carter, 1 Kato and a Heiji. I have a feeling these will be staying for a while! [IMG][/IMG]

The Wa-shig came about 3 weeks ago, the rest turned up this week! A couple of them werent planned but sometimes when the opportunity arrises you have to jump on it.
