@Stonetherapy Thanks! Are you referring to the Forgecraft knife or the Masamoto KS? Both knives have a pretty flat "wide bevel" at this point. The Masamoto KS's flat wide bevel is about 12 mm high, measuring from the edge. So the original grind of the knife above that 12 mm "wide bevel" is...

I can definitely see progress there! Hopefully you were able to feel the difference. I would definitely go coarser/lower grit as you and others have already mentioned. That'll let you get more noticeable results in a much much shorter time (e.g. 2 hours instead of 10 hours). I embarked on...

If it helps, I think he generally posts new knives on his website every Saturday morning, if I'm recalling correctly. And I'm assuming it's his Saturday morning in the UK.

Yes, this. I bought some Simichrome a while ago based off people's positive reviews and was surprised at the smell. I need to make sure there's ventilation in the room. Otherwise the smell is overpowering at times. Is the strong smell also present for other chemical polishers like Flitz?

This is a great idea! I love my 16x22, but it's just too much of a hassle to take out and wash when I'm doing small meal prep. I like the idea of being able to easily wash it in the sink and stash it in a drawer, which I can't do with the big board. Could you include the average weight of...

It's crazy to see how dramatic the S shape is. Dalman's knives are definitely top quality. How long have you used this knife by the way? It seems like it was sanded long-ways. Thanks!

Just curious, would you happen to have a picture of the suji’s choil after thinning?

I’ll take it if the previous sale falls through!

Looks great!

Wow makes me want to get another one. That mesquite board looks amazing!

Haha I'm just preparing (but not hoping) to redo it

I think the blue is mainly from cutting chicken thighs.

I decided that if I am going to attempt a handle, I'll be doing a wa handle the sandwich way Carter does it so I won't need a drill press to drill a tang hole for the majority of the handle length. I will still have to drill through the ferrule with my handheld drill. I just received a block...

Awesome, thanks!

Thanks for your advice! A few questions. Is the best way to remove the current scales just to grind down the current pin/screws with something like a dremel? What's the best way to drill holes without a drill press in the new scales for the new pins/doorhandle screws/Corby screws? Could I just...
