Interested primarily in the 6K or the vitrified 800, but I may be open to others. What's out there?

I have an oddball request. I'm looking for an old school Tojiro. One with the actual wood/pakka handle instead of the ecowood/plastic handle and the engraving on the left side of the blade. I had one way back in the day and would really like to be able to do some side by side comparisons to...

https://www.instagram.com/p/Btj9hTlBxhq/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=183ug58nc2xgc Just wanted to share this with the board. The two Muteki knives in the photo were taken from the car of a local chef yesterday. Please share with anyone in the Houston area. If you see these come up for...

If anyone has a gently used Dojo parer they'd be willing to part with, please let me know. Thx!

Asking the hive mind here: Any suggestions for a reputable repair service in the greater Los Angeles area? A friend of mine has a KA mixer in need of help. Sounds like the usual damaged gears and such. Thanks!

Query for the Atoma users out there. I've had an Atoma 400 for several months. Very happy with it compared to my DMT plates. I've noticed the center has taken on a vaguely rusty hue and it seems to be far less aggressive in that general area. What's the typical life expectancy from these...

Two questions to throw out for the collective mind. First, I just picked up a used, but fairly grimy Ultimate Edge Deluxe bag which I plan to use as a carrier for an occasional use specialty kit. Any reccs for cleaning it? I was considering soaking it in a bucket of hot water and detergent...

I carry a hone in my work kit for touchups, but I've been considering adding a splash and go to my work kit. Preferably something not terribly bulky, probably a medium fine stone 2-4k. Glassstones come to mind. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Headed back to PDX and Seattle for a short visit soon. I know Portland especially has changed a lot since I left ten years ago, so I wanted to quiz the hive mind and find out what I need to check out in Portland and Seattle while I'm there. Restaurants, stores, knife related stuff? Thanks!

Anyone have a set that they didn't bond with that they're looking to send to a new home?

Maybe not the normal kind, but two things have struck me profoundly in the last several months. First, when I moved I realized how many knives I have. It's a lot more than when I moved to Tejas nine years ago. The second, when looking at my blade related purchases in the last eighteen months...

Have a buddy who just moved down for a new job. Wanted to know where folks are working so I can give him some dining suggestions. Always looking for ways to support the extended crew whenever I can.

Helping my buddy again. He already found a monster chef knife but is also looking for a 180-210mm petty/suji. Wa handle preferred. If anytime can help shoot me a pm. Thanks!

Trying to help out a buddy who just landed a new gig. His new job would benefit from an extra large chef's/gyutou. He's been trying to find something appropriate and has been striking out. He's searching for something vintage and/or carbon, preferably something budget friendly. He's not shy...

Headed back to PDX for a quick visit. Any good suggestions on food drink or KKF friendly spots?

I have three gyutou and one sujihiki that are 300mm. I find the large gyutou are quite handy, although I don't regularly carry them in my work kit, I do occasionally throw them in for a week or two. My questions: Who likes a larger blade? What's your largest? Do you use it regularly and for...

I just started to use Ruhlman's Ratio app. It's made me curious if there are any other good apps which anyone has come across.

I really enjoy teaching. On occasion, I'll give private instruction. I have a couple of friends who asked me to come to their home, evaluate their cutlery situation, and teach them how to sharpen. What I found was about what I expected, a lot of cheap knives and a couple decent ones. I was...

For those of you who have been around since the early KF ITK/FF days, I'm going to ask you to search the deep recesses of your brains. I had the owners of Franny's in my kitchen last night and we got to talking and I remembered that someone who worked at Franny's used to post on the old...
