Hello! Got this knife on Christmas 12/25/22 (yesterday). I did a bit of vegetable prep for dinner and realized it is a bit too small for my liking. Selling for $300 $275 shipped PayPal GnS [Purchase Link: Carbon Knife...

Thank you, this is perfect as the pics on the site made the cladding line barely noticeable. I also saw gokujyo's on other sites where it looked like there wasn't a separation at all. The knife is beautiful congrats again. I guess the only workhorse I've had any experience with is my Mazaki...

This is fantastic thank you for posting this. The knife looks great. I was wondering about that cladding line since it’s not clear on the site and I do agree that your grind is way thicker than what’s shown on the site. Would you say this is more of a workhorse grind? I actually recently picked...

Thank you for the input. I have heard a lot about Myojin during my search and I am definitely interested. As far I know he works with Tanaka on the Fujiyama FM and well as the Tetsujin line of knives. Any others you know of that he sharpens for? Fujiyama FM seem to be pretty hard to get a hold...

Hello, fairly new to the fine knife game and have received a lot of helpful information from this forum as well as the Reddit group. Hopefully one day I can give advice back and be useful to the forum. Thanks.
