Nice little profit. Probably doesn't even cut any better.

Not possible that that's the brown one.

Probably your knives not being as thin and/or sharp.

Staff was furloughed due to the main business slowing (restaurant wholesale). Many of the warehouse workers are temps and they were either furloughed or laid off when coronavirus hit. E-commerce was separate and was perpetually understaffed but could usually call on temp workers to help when...

Well, I was the one who answered people on Instagram and most often on the customer service email line for knife/stone related inquiries but I'm no longer there. I did receive the 50x35cm soft woodcore boards right before I left though. Custom ordered size - probably what I'd get for home if I...

This is a weak attempt at creating drama unless you actually cut it up.

Bought from Home Butcher. Knife is 50mm at heel, 128g without handle. 243 ish mm cutting edge.

Yeah, the 1k Sigma Hard isn't all that hard honestly. The 2k pink hard one is though.

Depends what you want to do. It's a pretty friable soaker, leaves good contrast cuts pretty fast but also dishes pretty fast as well. Personally I only use it when I'm doing a synthetic wide bevel progression, but I do like it.

PEBCAK. I've tested both of these stones. Occam's razor: your angle was different when you tested each time. Plenty of explanations possible beyond "the 3k stone is faster than the 1k stone."

Yes, it's the same. It's been addressed multiple times, even recently someone not believing me and deciding to contact Okumura-san directly who told them it was the same. So yes, I'm sure.

Also, Ouka and Cerax 3k are the same.

Did you just say the Cerax 3k cuts faster than the Cerax 1k? Definitely not right.

Shoichi Hashimoto 240 Blue 2/White 2 dual core, damascus clad. Has no handle. Pic in album is just a spare I had sitting around, not attached.

Hah. One of our sales managers told me the other day that he had some customer out in the Hamptons who ordered 105 Hasegawa boards because they heard some hype about it from their customers or something. We're all one big happy Hasegawa hype family.

Yes. Also, if you're in California, LAMTC *should* be launching a site soon which should cut down on shipping cost. However, they'll charge CA sales tax. So... Anyway, I won't be with MTC after next Wednesday so any of you NYC people who stopped by from time to time... it's been nice. Stay safe.

Yeah. Next month is general sale.

Neither board uses polypropylene.

God forbid you use your knife and get some scratches on it.
