Did your source say whether he has fully retired, or semi-retired?

It does seem to have met the goal of cutting the potato...

Do you have access to an air fryer? My method is to swirl them in a bowl with (olive) oil and then add some salt, smoked paprika and garlic powder (swirl again if desired). Then they go into the air fryer at 180°c for 15 minutes or until done.

It's a house brand of Japanese Natural Stones Toishi

Unless I've missed it, something very important has been missed... What do we want the special handle to be (like Ians from the first drop)?

How are we meant to see the announcement when the thread will be filled with shi on topic and highly relevant postings?

What does yours say on the box? Mine was purchased in October 2020 and says it's a 150 on the label.

Sub 100 is hard for the normal stores. KnifeJapan has been mentioned around here a little (i don't have first hand experience) and have cheaper lines https://knifejapan.com/knives/?sort=priceasc

How cheap is "cheap" to you? Japan to Aus shipping hasn't been too bad, and I've been tempted to use Shopmate by AusPost to get things from the US.

Do you have a kiwi in your life? They're a cheap and fun knife. More relevantly though, maybe a longer knife/slicer?

I have a FRKZ "160" but the actual length and sticker on the box are 150. If you choose it I recommend contacting Koki first to confirm lengths.

Do you need heel height to work on the board, or will you use the tip and raise the handle?

Could you please post pictures of the backs for us to drool over? :love:

Yeah, i thought there was a super nakiri that we could learn about.

@nakiriknaifuwaifu, You mentioned in your Moritaka BST thread that you have replaced it as your daily driver. As a nakiri-curious person, what is it that replaced it?

You are training in a different way

I've been trying cheapo sandpaper recently and didn't get far with P400 so moved to P240 which went better. One thing that slows me down is that it needs to be edge trailing so that the paper doesn't get cut and makes the speed gain gap need to be larger vs scrubby motions on my Shapton pro...

Are you looking for a petty or paring? I have a 150 TF and deep impact and wrote more here about them. The below should give you an idea of the side profile of each but I would call the Deep Impact a paring style knife with a heel and the TF more suitable for board work due to heel height...

Does that include the handle? KnS have their Yoshikane listed as 188g.
