    Show your newest knife buy

    It's made of HAP40. A bit overkill for a bread knife but I wasn't free to choose. I was a bit afraid of chipping but when you see the tips of the serrations they are not as thin as a normal sujihiki edge. The sharpener took it back a bit.

    Extended my collection a little. This time with a 240 bread knife. Is actually a sujihiki made by Tsukahara san from Seki and the serrations are made here by a local sharpener.

    VG10 bread knife. A good idea?

    I am looking into buying a bread knife to replace my 50 year old plastic handle one and I have found some that are using VG10 or even HAP40. For example a Takayuki serrated sujihiki 240 or Ryusen Tanganryu 210. Given the reputation of VG10 being chippy is it a good idea to make a bread knife of...

    Jinbei traditional Japanese summer wear

    It is soft but not like fluffy soft. It is the loose fit that make is comfortable. It's another feeling to wear it compared to shorts and T-shirt.
