Followed and in!

@MSicardCutlery laser. The grind is so thin that it goes through dense foods smoother than anything else I have tried. Merion Forge 330g monster gyuto. I have thinned and polished mine, and the weight and polish allow the knife to feel like it just falls through ingredients.

I’m in! I live in Seattle, WA.

I really liked using this knife. I was honestly half of a day to a day away from buying this knife before it got pulled for the pass around, and I would not have regretted it. I might throw my name in the purchase randomizer at the end of this pass around, but if someone really wants the...

I’m in! From the US.

I was thinking my dad’s MAC gyuto on my thicc Nano Hone 70um stone, and I reached the transition point between the stones.

I am sorry for not writing a response earlier. My work week was pretty busy, and I didn’t find time to write a thoughtful response. It went really well. I liked the knife a lot, and I will be messaging you very soon (hopefully later this weekend) about ordering a knife from you. What I...

Lucid 240mm Sheffcut/wrought gyuto and Elias Ahlström (Steel by Lundbergs) 225mm 26c3/iron gyuto that I traded my Kippington lefty laserpony for. Lucid Elias Ahlström
