So, no negative opinions are accepted?
Yes....Your Personal opinions count.

Pls stop posting unless you have something positive to say about hide knives, you have had your laugh and you have taken it to far with the juju thing.
With regards to the soul thing i was asking if anyone had felt that in their experience...like the makers speak about their knives .Dead knives where factory made and not handmade that's what i was reffering to.
Come on you must of had a knife that you did not connect with and ended up selling it why to heavy, geometry,profile was not right,your knife is what you put in to it a connection between you and the maker simple... so stop freaking out and give us some positive feedback.
I have a 270 Gesshin Hide Yanagiba and love it, but it's not my favorite knife. I've handled a number of handmade knives; they can feel dead too - VERY dead - much more than one of my favorite knives, which isn't what you would consider a "handmade" knife; it's a somewhat large production knife.
You feel a connection with a knife depending on how it feels when you cut, not because of a knife's "soul." Yet, very little of what you wrote has anything to really do with cutting or cooking, or making food, so I don't understand your mysticism about Japanese knives. They're not to be used as weapons. They're for making food.
P.S. - You should also get facts straight. Konosuke isn't a maker; it's a brand.
Perhaps you need to attend some kind of anger management class Frankly cool down and chill out... You are not being very constructiveOh no.... have you gone off on one again, i bloody no konosuke is a brand...one Master makes blue another makes White and So on,all i said about konosuke is that it's a damn good looking knife So what the hell are you on about.

Geez everybody.
Really?
Sometimes I think my 7 and 4 year old kids argue less and about more important things.
Then why don't you focus on the makers, not the brands? Mizuno is also a brand.
Sorry, you're right. It is only knives after all, not some kind of deadly weapon :lol2:Geez everybody.

If you want to be picky, Haburn is also a brand...the maker is Ian Rogers.Mizuno is also a brand. Of the three knives you identified, only one is not a brand - Haburn.
For being so concerned with the maker, why don't you ask more about certain makers?
If you want to be picky, Haburn is also a brand...the maker is Ian Rogers.
Well - it's my middle name, so everybody's right. You all win! :bliss:If you want to be picky, Haburn is also a brand...the maker is Ian Rogers.
O.k....you can tell me their names and i will focus on them , i will wait for your reply.
Please indulge me in recapping this thread.
Slash asks non specific question about specific maker. Was asked what specifically he would like to know. (Slash - Please note the spelling of "know".) He responded with specific question which was in turn answered.
In the course of the initial exchange Slash went Phil Donahue about knives and their feelings, dead knives and alive knives and the burdens of becoming a knife whisperer. For some reason it went to crap after that.
Though some have tried to be helpful, the only thing good to come out of the ensuing 4 pages is we now know what Ian's middle name is. No one likes to moderate a thread but this one needs to be taken forward or taken off the "what's new" page.
Thanks.
O.k you should take it off and while your at it you can tell dave martell ,or whoever is in charge to take me off the forum also .
