If the individual bought it straight from Korin i would think he should get good service from them on a claim/return. I would also like to think that given Korin's reputation they would like to know if there ARE in fact defects as such from their producers. i wouldnt touch the stones with it...

Agreed with previous statement that it all depends on the kitchen you're in and how much space you have. I personally am a cleaver guy for veg prep and i keep a 270 around for butchering and slicing. ive worked in tiny little kitchens where my cutting board was about the size of an 8x10...

I like that western Martel myself. , that was a good pick up , western handle like that in a 52100. love it

Ive followed them on IG for a couple of years now and like matus said they dont seem to produce a lot of Kitchen knives anymore. I also feel like their knife production is "seasonal" as the winter takes the sind out of their sails. i could be mistaken on that though If you want one i would just...

Happy Sunday All, Up for sale is a Mario gyuto i picked up in a cash and trade combo. Great little knife but I need the cash more than another slot filled in the roll and i know there are plenty of folks who would appreciate this knife. specs below with pics, Im looking for $300, paypal for...

Given that you are committed to using it as a one knife cooking situation i think you will get used to the weight of a #7 quickly, especially in professional environment. that weight is also very good for fine work because the knife will assist in the downward slicing as you know. and 500g isnt...

someone commented the summer time is a tough time to sell, if you truly think things are lingering on BST, i agree. With vacations, kids not in school, other family might be traveling and staying with you, and as a broad statement a lot of industries (kitchens certainly) get slower so if you're...

this one was recently parted with . the patina was only after one use on the turkey at thanksgiving. 52100 gets such a great patina IME
