I wasn't 100% pleased with the board at first, it wasn't quite flat. It wasn't worth it to send it back, so I ran it through my neighbor's planer, now I'm pretty happy with it. If I had it to do over, I would have just spent a few more $ on a better board.
 
Where'd you get the board? I had a horrible experience when I bought mine.

Bought it off ebay. Overall F&F was OK, just not properly flat.
I figgered I was better off not to try and return it, what with eating shipping in two directions. It only took a few passed through the planer to get it straightened out, and I'm likin' it pretty good. Sure feels a whole lot better than the long grain board that it replaces.

I bought mine from chopbloc.com and it is a great looking/feeling board but the customer service and runaround I got was brutal!! Also, there is a pretty good sized defect in the bottom of the board but like you, I don't believe its worth the trouble of trying to return it. Looks good and feels good, so i'll just keep it :)

Its 18 x 24, 3 inches thick. There was a pic of it in Boardsmiths thread offering it, but it didn't look as large there as there was nothing for reference. This is a nice, BIG board.

That's a hell of a board! I don't know where I'd even store a board that big.
 
I think I'll be leaving it out in a semi-permanent spot.

Nice knife! Holy crap, that looks like one I just sold. I had to take a second look.
 
It is a battle of single bevel honesuki. Kato arrives, Zensho Yoshikane must go.

I'd the Kato actually noticeably better?
 
Probably not much for my usage. I have a few more Yoshikane knives and just want to try one kato.
 
Glad you could decipher my mysterious message. And thanks for the candid answer.
 
I just got this K Sabatier 12" carbon chef from the Sabatier Factory Outlet in Yemassee, SC, a nice little shop packed full of French steel. This photo is after slicing two chicken breasts.

Really love the tojiro at its price point! It was my first carbon blade and didnt want to spend a lot on something i may or maynot have liked. It had a few grind issues which through several sessions on the stones i worked out. I also stripped the kurouchi finish off it last night and am starting to polish the blade.. got the idea after looking at this..http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/showthread.php/11648-Who-says-you-can-t-polish-a-turd

Thanks jigert! No "buyer's remorse" for any of them, that's for sure. :)
