Awesome, thanks!

Picked up a butterscotch translucent in partial box(missing lid) does anyone know what the partial label is?

I can't help you on the maker but that is in great shape besides the staining! Great score!

Nice thread, I may have to research my coticules more and see what they are. Boight several slurry stones and they seem to be a couple variants. Two turned dark brown like yours.

Thabks for the picture! I do like that design. Never messed with epoxy in that way before. Going to have to do a lot of planning for one.

Who here has made one? I'm not new to making magnetic knife racks, but a stand seems like a different beast due to the size. I'm thinking of making a 16"x12" For anyone that has made them, how did you go about it? Was just thinking of using a solid 1" thick board cutting a long thin strip off...

Agree, just is a natural combination. Here's mine.

Surprised that sold for that much considering its only a 12" cleaver that someone put a longer handle on. I have a 14" bladed hog splitter.

Just don't throw them in a box like some people. It amazes me that some people don't care about anything once they get your money, and just toss your items in a box. If its anything decent I wrap it in plastic wrap and/or put cardboard around the blade. I shake my head everytime I've spent...

I think so. Being an F. Dick sure did help though. This brand name seems to be one of the more collectible.

I was watching this as well out of curiosity. Unique seeing a nogent F. Dick. IMO sold for a lot more than I was expecting. Lots of deep pitting on that contrary to what the seller says. If it wasn't an F. Dick I'd expect half that price.

Ha! I never even realized that! I'm now confused and looking up the same thing with no luck.

Yes.

I can feel your pain. I bought a lot on the bay a while back that I paid way more than I should have. Photos were horrible on listing, seller used a bench grinder on all the blades, every handle was split on opposite side of what was shown in photos. I was so disgusted I threw them all back in...

Here's my secret. Coconut oil cloths used for cleaning. This was a blade I just got today. About 1 minute of scrubbing. Could probably 95% remove the rusting if I kept going longer.

Yeah, I'm going to try to send them back. I looked at the gyuto again and its just god awful. I saw some on the bay(same thing different "brand" and they looked like micro bevels.

Well that sucks, looks like I'll be avoiding them in the future. Thanks for the reply.

Am I being completely ignorant on this? I purchased a Harukaze gyuto and nakiri in Aogami Super. They both are ground with what I personally would call a huge compound bevel. I know these are cheaper knives but this just seems ridiculous. Is this just how they come?

As was said, its a skinning knife. I've seen them referred to kawahagi? Somewhat similar to western skinners.

I've had luck crushing the handles in a vise and splitting them too. Rotate it the opposite way in your pic.
