A buddy a work has this carbon 270 gyuto. I don't recognize the brand/kanji and he wants to buy another? Anybody know this one? Thanks!

Hey everyone. Selling a set of Chosera Superstones, 1k, 3k and 12k. All 3 come mounted on bases, and have had very minimal use. 1k and 3k stones are perfect. The 12k has a corner of the stone missing. Personally, I just look at the 12k kinda like a natural stone, since it's missing a bit...

What stropping compound do you think he uses on the sickle?

Hey all, Curious if someone would like to trade for a Masamoto KS 240 gyuto. Great knife, bought it from turbochef, which he purchased from this sale, and looks the same. Great knife in all, love the profile and geometry. I just need something with better edge retention for use in a pro...

Yeah, so I'm going down that rabbit hole. I figured since I have all the stones, strops etc, I should stop wasting my money on disposables. I grabbed up this Pabst and Kohler off ebay mainly because it was cheap ($15), vintage, looked in goodish shape, German made and has Pabst in the brand...

Looking to buy myself a blade for my bday :) Wondering if anyone had a 240 Hiromoto AS gyuto they're looking to get rid of. I love blue steel, and have always wanted one, so I figure my bday is a good excuse to mauve buy one. As much as I'd love a Dave handle, I need to keep the cost down, so...

I know this is a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone is looking to part with a 10"-ish Forgecraft chef knife. Looking for something in ok condition, with the basic profile intact. I'm gonna do some work on it, so a good blade in rough shape is fine. I can pay around $40-50 bucks. Thanks in...

I posted this up in the death to celebrity chefs thread and thought it's very worth of its own. This **** is gonna golden to all the industry people out there. It felt like therapy the first time I read it. Hope ya'll enjoy. Perfect with a morning cup of coffee :)...

I recently ran across some old vintage sab blanks on ebay. Two 10" chef blanks had a buy it now price, so I bought the both. Easy to find if you search ebay. They look like great project knives. Seller says they're over 100 years old, hard to say, but I'm going to ask more about the history...

I recently moved to a new area of Philly and there tons of Asian markets around. Let me say, I'm in freaking love. That smell of durian and star anise always gets me excited to hunt for new things to try, and usually makes my friends want to leave. I also enjoy picking through the piles and...

Hi All, I'm moving soon and made some purchases, so I need to lighten the load and sell a few blades :) Everything includes free shipping CONUS. Please PM with offers or pic requests. Thanks for looking! I have, Misono 440 240mm gyuto - $130 obo | Have had it for a few years and used it...

So a friend and I (RoanRoks29, new here on the forum) had some fun with etching, and cocktails. Per Dave's instructions, we cleaned, sanded with 600 automotive sandpaper, re-cleaned and gave our knives a swim in enchant. We added our own step here and there in the form of a libation. We ended up...

I'm trying to help a friend find an inexpensive carbon yo-gyuto. It can be a fixer-upper, it just has to be relatively cheap and I don't want to suggest Tojiro ITK. I found Naozumi brand gyutos kicking around the web, but no one writes about them. Can't tell if it's pure carbon or cladded, but...

I'm making some felt strops for some friends at work and I'm wondering if anyone here has ever cut 1/8" f1 felt before? Looking for advice/suggestions before I start and muck it up. Thanks all!

Hey all! So I grabbed up one of the Tojiro ITK Kiritsukes and thought I'd give you a few thoughts on the knife. I was excited to order this blade. I don't make a ton of money (I'm a pasta maker) so I'm always looking for a well preforming knife at a reasonable price point. You know, a good...

For all you stropping nuts out there. Just received some .25 CBN and .125 DuPont diamond lapping slurrys from us-products.com. It's about $6 bucks for 50 grams, or just shy of two ounces of the heavy concentrate stuff. You can get in water or oil, I prefer water. Shipping is extra, mine was...

My Bester 1200 is ready to be replaced and I'm considering the Shingata Akamon 1k or red brick from ****. I like the fact that it is BIG, cheap and from the limited info I can find, well preforming in the 1k range. Anyone here have experience with it? I'd love some personal feedback if anyone...

So they just came in-stock, you know where, and I ordered one. Excited as it is my first white #2 knife. I'll post again when I get the blade. I'm poor these days, so it's all about finding that fun/price/performance knife. I'm excited!

My uncle knows I'm a knife nut, and also shares a love for vintage carbon. He found this knife at a estate sale and grabbed it up for me. It's old, rusts like crazy (almost instantly) and has no markings. It needs some TLC, as it has been used hard. But I was hoping someone here could help me...

Hey all, First time poster here! Just wondering is anyone has experience with this knife? www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Sakai-White-Steel-Gyuto-Knife-210mm-/230670818043?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b50d5afb#ht_3014wt_1163 I'm looking for a 210mm, carbon, western style gyuto...
