I have a 210 Denka with a WA handle on the way. Good to hear.

How do you like the 210 Denka? Where does it fit in the use mix?

So, I do need a strop?

Hmmm. Well, I didn't think I would need the corse stone because I figured I would let the professionals at Bernal Cutlery handle it when it was bad. If I get the 1k and a 3k, maybe I should just get the kit (400, 1k, 5k)? I thought I needed a strop to completely remove the burr? Is that not...

I want to sharpen my TF Denka Gyuto and a Wat B2 Nakiri. I was looking hard at a Bob Kramer Sharpening kit but don't think I really need all the stones. I figure I will mostly do maintenance sharpening and take my knives to Bernal (drivable) if they need professional work. I do like the look...

I am looking at a knife that has a Jura wood handle. What is Jura wood? I Google it and can find nothing.

No. American who can speak Japanese.

Thanks for such a comprehensive reply @Choppin !

165 Pro Nakiri and 150 Pro Petty.

First, I am new to Japanese knives, and knives in general, and would like some guidance from the group. I will say that I typically like to use smaller knives and feel more comfortable with them. Hence, I very recently ordered 165 mm Nakiri and a 150 mm petty. I am a home cook who does a lot of...

Thanks for the opinions everyone! Really helpful.

Yep.

I am new to Japanese knives and just acquired my first 2 directly from Watanabe. So, let me begin by saying I don't know my ___ from a hole in the ground (that is why I am here!). That said, I was wondering about some grinding marks on one of my brade new blades. It is only on one blade and...

Now, that makes sense. Thank you.
