Sorry to hear about your situation. Where did you buy it / where are these Xinguos coming from? I’d love to see a bit more of his work and understand if this is part of a range of knives that he produces or a custom etc. Thanks!

Not true. The ones with rust out of the box / blemishes are not that common 🤣

‘Treat it like seasoning a stew’

Audiobooks would work!

Bargain. Fellipi’s knives are not cheap directly from him, and this comes with a Saya etc! What a deal if you need a sturdy sujihiki!

Thanks - good to confirm!

When everyone refers to hard stop in relation to Krichbaum and Yoshikane, is this an issue for rock chopping only? I’ve never encountered this, but I don’t rock chop at all unless it’s to mince an ingredient that needs to be incorporated into something else. I’m guessing that this design is fine...

Thanks - might try and pick one up when / if Protooling has a Black Friday sale this year. I have had the JNs220 and suehiro 180 recommended to me as a good low grit to start shaping geometry. Do you have any thoughts / recommendations? I’ve decided not to buy any polishing stones etc until /...

Reading this, I’m glad I didn’t buy the b stock Hinoura for my first bevel setting job. Sounds like they ante not a good candicdate for that? I have an Hinoura nashiji/ku and It isn’t concave though? I am interested in learning to set geometry (not polishing yet - that can come down the track)...

Yes!! 🙌

Also, that horn is really nice - something about it

Stunner. I think I was first in his list for that one as I inquired quickly but passed it up because I think it was too tall for what I’m after, esp as I just got my Eddworks petty this week! That one was the one without a handle, right? Such a nice cladding, it’s kinda misty and foggy and...

I didn’t know that they made Honyaki scalpels? Looks fantastic … excellent polish, as always!!

Wo Wow! I knew if anyone had done it …. Wow, so my hunch was right! Looks stunning! Was thinking of getting one of the b stock hinouras from pro tooling but hesitates too long! I have a Hinoura santoku and I always look at the bevels and think, there’s something special lurking here!

Has anyone ever tried to polish the bevels on M Hinoura’s work? It looks so promising in my (probably poorly informed) opinion.

Could have had a direct side by side with your Suiboku ginsan!

Thanks @JKerr !

They’re annoyingly short. The 270mm is 49.5mm. I’d get one rather than an FM if they had comparable dimensions, despite the poor handles and FF. I should say that I have shorter knives that I really enjoy! But for that particular configuration and with Myojin’s grind, I’d prefer FM or tetsujin...

I was joking!!! But I agree with you
