Ignore that. It looks like you already did

Google knife sharpening services in your area if no one can help 👍

I try to make this juice at least once a week. Good Vitamin C hit 👍 fun to use cheap knife

Loving the 210mm Kei Kobayashi so much I got a 150mmpetty. The Damascus is beautiful but doesn't have the makers mark. The handle ties them both together. The handles look kind of like pakka wood but not sure, perhaps somebody knows. The urushi coating looks like it could be slippery when wet...

Not the worst I've done. I don't feel comfortable taking pics of peoples knives but did on this one. They got a sharp serrated knife back

Not having a dedicated sharpening station. I clear a space on the kitchen bench, I've been thinking about this movable table idea for a while and finally did it. When the wheels are locked I can still rock it back and forth but it's not too bad. With heavy grinding I might have to butt it up...

Hado helping with breakfast 😋

Wow, that's truly a beauty and rare too. Do you plan on using it or is it purely a collection piece ? I wonder if the back is usable. It would be a real shame to remove that stamp but man it would be nice to put a blade on it 😍

Thanks. I tried before stropping but couldn't get it to bite. I was surprised that it cut after stropping. I have a couple of other strops, but that one my favourite

Wat pro santoku and wat 1000grit followed by home made cow leather strop loaded with flexcut gold

Iyoto finish, which is usually the pre finisher, finer than 1000, coarser than ohira suita. May not count as coarse enough finish for this test. Will try with the 1000 when I get the urge to have another go at it.

Nothing fancy, had to try it while it was still hot. Unfortunately I should have picked a better area or a cheap beater, made contact with the plate and couple of accidental taps from the fork, then to finish it off hit the tip into the toaster. At least the sandwich was nice :)

You probably could but there are so many better options. Why would you want to

That's awesome. I've been looking at mobile prep stations to set up for a sharpening station. Just to have the convenience of being able to move it and store it more easily. My rock's still live on a cabinet in the lounge 😔

I've never sharpened owned or used a single bevel. From what I've seen, I thought the flat side was meant to stay flat. Will be interesting to see what those more experienced will say.
