    Nojiyama Marunaka Blue #2 Review

    It's the same knife and it's double bevel. Most doubles bevel knives from Japan are asymmetrical, so that's why the choil shot looks like that. I'm personally not a fan of choil shots since they are usually misleading and don't tell the whole story. But most people seem to like them so I post them.

    Just a wo-bocho and nakiri.

    Nojiyama Marunaka Blue #2 Review

    Complete tier list and this knife's ranking can be seen here: Japanese Knife Tier List Kind of surprising to see such a large, high performing knife like this going for under $200. The way it just drops through onions is quite impressive. One of my favorite blue #2. Thoughts and Observations...

    Japanese Knife Tier List

    It can barely cut, has massive steering to the left, and the steel feels strange (bad heat treat?) It seems like the knife is only 30% complete. Interestingly enough, I have another knife (white #2) from the same maker that looks like a proper knife. Maybe I got a dud?

    Japanese Knife Tier List

    Another update. Thought I'd have more knives on the list by now, but I really like going back and using the previous ones again and again. Changes and additions are in bold. [S Tier] Okubo Kajiya Blue #2 Migaki --- Review Kuwabara White #2 --- Review [A Tier] Wakui White #2 Stainless Clad...

    Fujiwara Maboroshi Review

    Complete tier list and the Fujiwara's ranking can be seen here: Japanese Knife Tier List Thoughts and Observations Definitely needs thinning. Wedges quite a bit in onions and stops dead in carrots. I get physically tired using this knife after a few minutes. Although the steels seem easy to...

    Kaji-bei White #2 Review

    Complete tier list and the Kaji-bei's ranking can be seen here: Japanese Knife Tier List This may sound strange, but I was a bit disappointed when I first used this knife. "Why am I spending hundreds on knives when this $60 nakiri performs just as well, if not better, than most of them?" I...

    Kuwabara White #2 Review

    Just a normal order. I think he delisted most of his knives because of some issues. Just ask for any shape and size and Michael should get you what you want.

    Kuwabara White #2 Review

    It might have been from CKTG, but I can't say for sure. I do have a hakata from Knife Japan, and it performs just as well as the gyuto. For what it's worth, the steel is easily one my favorites. Unnaturally long edge retention and takes a really toothy edge. The edge in the video above is a...
