BKF works fine for me as long as the rust spot is not deep. They are also great for polishing stainless steel.

pm sent.

Nice finds. However, I don't that particular vendor ships to the US directly.

Nice finish! What progression did you use? Also, how reactive is that cladding without the KU?

I believe Knifewear in Canada has it in stock. 210 seems to the longest gyuto in this line. I was expecting an heavier knife due to the bolster, but it's surprisingly light at 4.5 oz (Kono 210 = 4.2 oz), and the balance point is just behind the logo. The F&F is much better than the other...

I would love to see a choil shot of the Kato. Thanks!

Welcome. I am in the bay area as well. This place is addictive and dangerous. I spent way more on knives than I could have ever imagined in the last few months. Get out when you still can. :justkidding:

What kind of knives are you looking for in a trade?

Very unique. Thanks for sharing.

A friend sent me this 210mm SLD gyuto from Japan. It's a great little knife with a extremely comfortable handle. The knife is light and thin, very much a laser. My wife loves it so far.

A general question. Are there any advantages / disadvantages of using the 220 whetstone instead of a coarse diamond stone? Thanks.

:)

They are also available for only a few dollars on Amazon, just search for 'knife finger protector'. The reviews are not too hot though.

That's great to hear. I have a DP honesuki on the way.

I got a Tojiro paring knife recently. The fit and finish is fine for the price, but the factory grind not so much. It was 80/20, and not sharp at all. A little DIY was required to bring the edge back. I would buy it again though.
