Thick knives save lives
I don't understand K-tip debas, especially with a flat profile. Is that not just a mukimono?
Specifically its a useless thick mukimono
Nothing like a soapy finish after a nice soak while I eat

Opinion: people be posting all these choil shots and saying “sexy!” “
” etc… when it’s just a freakin triangle. Maybe it’s a comment on the quality of the photography? Idk. I mean, probably it’s a fine knife (not that you can tell from the choil). It seems like everyone wants to be seen as knowing how to appreciate a choil shot, so the comments on said shots are very effusive.
Feelin cranky this morning in case anyone can’t tell.

Choils are funny. Yeah it’s a representation of the overall geometry of the knife, but often appear so much thicker from the heel and don’t necessarily represent 2/3 of the bladeOpinion: people be posting all these choil shots and saying “sexy!” “

Yeah its hard to get good choilshot. Effort to show it should be complimented.Opinion: people be posting all these choil shots and saying “sexy!” “

Also curious about what people look for in a choil shot.

Sorry about that pineapple pizza thing
A choil shot only tells 10% of the knifes story.
Sure a choil shot isn't the end all be all and can be quite deceiving on its own, but with a decent choil & spine shot and the weight one can usually infer enough about a knife to know if it its the type of thing one wants

But performance wise, you are still left in the dark.
With a good choil, spine, profile and tip shot. The added information about weight and if not numbers, then a description on how the grind feels and the knife performs, makes up for a better understanding of it all.
But we were talking choils only and I agree. People put way to much in to way to little information.

Users who post pictures of knives without proper identification deserve the mockery of "Nice Mazaki"
Some people are afraid that the EXIF data from the photos will show up.
Turn location/geotagging off.

Ha! No not you specifically just something that I've noticed recently.
I hope I didn't offend or anything. Was all in jest.
I ran with the opportunity to continue using the Mazaki as a meme.

To me, it's always an impressive feat, takes me like 10 minutes to get a good choil shot, my camera always wants to focus elsewhere lolOpinion: people be posting all these choil shots and saying “sexy!” “

I thought I had it down until I got a new phone with multiple cameras…
Now everything time l try to shoot anything remotely close up, it jumps between lenses and drives me bonkers.
use a camera app with a manual focus slider and focus lock. trying it any other way is a time waster.
e.g.:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
the other secrets are good illumination of the choil itself and a contrasty bg for good subject isolation. and maybe bg of similar exposure to make it easier to expose for the subject.

I like Takefu knives a lot. So much so that I honestly signed-up for this forum because I was thinking I might need to put some of my Sanjo knives on BST because they don't get used that much.
That’s my only letdown with this forum. There is no way I can sell my Yu Kurosaki and Nigara knives here without eating a big loss,
Yes! Drives me apeshit, finally settled on 3x zoom for my S23 and just having it focus on my fingers and take about 6 to get a good choil in there somewhere.
Now on to choil commentary:
It tickles me to no end that the choil #1 markedly outcut choil #2
If you’re using an iPhone, selecting the “raw” option while trying to shoot a choil photo dramatically limits the auto camera switch and makes life easier

oh not at all dw, although I wouldn't mind a bit of clarification on the origin of the meme
Yeah Okubo is tricky
