have you considered getting RockStar 1k?

That’s also an Ashi, 100% sure

I didn't find MC hard to sharpen, maybe it's just me.

Looks like a Tamago, all Ichimonji stone is the same as Imanishi.

yeah, they make a lot of OEM for multiple brands. I guess that's why they're not making any more honyaki I guess. That backlog hitting them pretty hard

yep, that's definitely an Ashi. it came with layered Micarta/Pakka wood instead of solid Pakka wood

tempted but shipping is such a hassle.

That's pretty much what AAH said, good enough for sharpening maybe a bit toothy. didn't have time to play with a wide selection of steel to test with.

it's hard to recreate similar with less meat on the spine. the weight helps with the cutting performance. if you make it too thin it will become pretty chippy

it's not thin enough I would guess, especially on the middle side. also based on the Spare choil shot (on MCX web) it has a steep taper from the spine to the edge, who knows there's a slight hollow in the face like Yoshikane.

why do you want to make it Denka uglier? the cheapest way to grind is just to run the front tip on a sidewalk pavement.

good price on the Cleaver. if only i am in the states

following, since I am on the market for cleaver as well.

I think I still have the old one from Fujiwara Nashiji

I agree with the quote. GLWS

Ai and Om can also do it if you don't mind shipping it to Raincouver.

nice

?

Mud Crab > Dungenness. Especially the Sri Lankan one

maybe, but at the same age, it is still not good enough.
